Dear Governor Hastie, Your let
ter of. November IA submitting
your resignation as Governor of the
Virgin Islands in order to take of
flee as judge Of the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals has been received
with decidedly mixed feelings.
II am gratified that you are to
assume the important position of a
judge in one of our highest courts.
To you as member of the legal
profession and a public spirited
citizen few fields or service could
offer a greater challenge or more
satisfying reward.
"On the other hand, your depar-
ture from the difficult and highly
responsible post to Governor of the
Virgin Islands is a matter of real
regret. AS the first Negro to be
appointed Governor of one of our
territorial areas, you have been in
a CONSPICUOUS position. You have
rendered fine service to the peo-
pie OF the Islands and to the ma
tlonal government in the improve
ment of the local government and
IN the advocacy of sound social and
economic policies. This you have
done so effectively that the con-
gress has recognized in increasing
degree the needs for Federal assist
ance in the sound development of
the area"

Sportsmen Must Get Licenses By July 1

Hunting and fishing licenses issued last year expire on June 30, it was announced last week by Holgar Larsen of the Fish and Wild Life Service. New li- censes, which were being issued on Monday of this week, are re- quired beginning July 1.
 Mrs. Neal Wright has been named licensing officer for the Valley. She asks that completed application forms be left with the clerk on duty at Bert's Drug Store. The license then either will be delivered by mail, or may be picked up by the applicant later.
 Everyone who was issued a li- cense last year is required to bring it with him, when making application for a renewal, Mrs. Wright reminded. The number on the expired license must be recorded on the renewal appli- cation.
 Printed FWS regulations for the coming season are not yet available in Palmer. However last years regulations for fish ermen still are in force.
 Local fishermen now are free to hook rainbow, steelhead, cut throat, Eastern brook, Dolly Var den, lake trout and grayling in the drainages of Cottonwood, Fish, Fire and Wolverine Creeks. The season extends from June 1 to March Is of next year.

Animals Are Getting Nosey

AlaSka'S wild life is devoting it's summer to the study of hu- manity this year, according to reports current in the several papers of this locality. Both moose and black bear have been sighted strolling through the company areas on Fort Richard son recently.
 In Palmer, one sleek black bear with a Ferdinand-ish bent, was disturbed while mapping in wild rose patch. Rusty Dow, driving down the road near Dan Sullivan's cabin, sighted the ami nal as it darted from it's thorny couch little way from the West Side Service Its SlumberS were disturbed when a woman began hanging clothes on the line next to the rose bushes.
 The bear galloped wildly down the road, braked short a few feet from Rusty's truck, and went into reverse so quickly he stumbled over his feet and fell flat in the roadway. He finally disappeared into the under growth across the road, only a little distance from group of playing children.
 Curious moose also are report ed, only recently, to have in- vestigated the durability of some of the fences in North Palmer dooryards. There are some who think the big animals pine for the delicacy of Valley hay stacks, for which they developed a taste during the winter

 Balloters voted at the same time for 5 school directors to administer the affairs of the new district. The following 4 men and a woman were elected:

Safety at Sea

Yesterday was the fortieth anniversary
of an event which marked the start of a
new era of increased safety at sea. It was
early on the morning of January %, 1909,
that Jack Binns, youthful radio operator
aboard the White Star liner Republic,
flashed the first wireless message from a
ship in distress. The faint &C. @. D." sig
nal, forerunner of the SOS. of today,
brought the s. S. Baltic and other ships
to the rescue of the Republic, which had
collided in fog with the Italian steamer
Florida of Nantucket
Congress was so impressed by the
dramatic role played by radio in the
Republic sinking that legislation soon was
passed requiring all American ships carry
ing more than fifty passengers to install
wireless" equipment. Scarcely three years
later radio again played a vital part in
the rescue of victims of sea disaster.
This was when the huge liner Titanic
struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic
and sank, with loss of more than 1,500
lives. But for the radio appeals sent out

The Districts tax resources have always
been limited. 1t is a residential, not a
commercial city It's boundaries cannot be
extended to take in new, tax-paying SUBJ
urbs Its taxable area is shrinking and a
discriminatory income tax exempts large
proportion of its residents.
Yet it must meet the needs of greatly
increased population and its government
has become enormously expensive That is
one reason why a sales tax has become un-
avoidable. The amount of taxes paid for
support of the District must be increased
by enlarging the number of taxpayers and
decreasing the proportion of the total
burden that is borne by relatively small
number of taxpayers and diminishing
area of taxable property.

from the rapidly sinking ship the toll
probably would have been greater.

from the rapidly sinking ship the toll
probably would have been greater.
Radio has come long way since those
early days of Morse messages and crude
apparatus. Not only are ships nowadays
equipped with two-way voice radio, but
with other electronic aids to navigation.
Radar has become standard equipment on
all naval vessels and many commercial
ships as well. Yet accidents still occur, as
the recent collision between Coast Guard
cutter and tanker off the Atlantic coast
shows. The cutter was equipped with
radar, but the tanker was not. Why radar
failed to detect the other ship, or why, If
the radar was turned on and working prop
erly suitable action to avert the collision
was not taken, will be determined by
Investigators. Whatever the facts in this
case, the records show that radio, radar
and other electronic navigation devices
have contributed vastly to safety at sea.
And the ultimate in safety will be reached
when pilot errors are eliminated through
automatic steering of ships, enabling them
electronically to detect hazards and avoid
them, without help of human hands. That
such day may come seems no more fam
tastic than did the first marine radio
installations forty years ago.
