On the Other Hand
Not All Young Democrats Have
Young Ideas, or So It Appears

But one WonQerS why Iney
made the gesture.
One wonders, indeed, what
makes a Young Democrat young.
We are accustomed to associate
youth with boldness, with idealism,
liberalism. There is time enough
for conservatism in our middle
years or our old age, we say. Yet
here were the young men and
women from the States Of the
Solid South voting solidly. with
the exception Of the Florida dele
cation, to stand pat on an issue
that is steadily receding into the
party's past. .r = "f..1
n, Party efi Young IDEAS ''',I. :,
' They had been lectured by their
national party leaders. The
speeches they had listened to were
flied with phrases such as. The
enthusiasm and energy Of youth
a driving force" "hope and ideal
ism" spark of youth" and "vigor,
enthusiasm and ideals Of youth. I"
They had been reminded that
their party Is the party Of young
IDEAS" "the party that looks to
youth to point the way to keep US
from backsliding";; that new
problems need new solutions" and
that the country needs "the bold
ness, drive and imagination Of
youth"
And these national leaders knew
what they were talking about. At
least, they were aware OF the need
for new ideas, whether those new
ideas come from younger people or
from gray and grizzled veterans
who have kept their real youth.
The continuing political triumphs
Of the party since the early '30s
have resulted from new ideas, even
though some Of those ideas were
born In heads no longer young.
The roaring waters Of IVA, with
in the sound Of which the Chat
tanooga convention was held,
should have reminded the young
Dixiecrats Of that. It is the real
lied dream Of an old man. George
w. Norris. brought to fulnllment
by the political party Of which the
voiInp deleeateS wish to be q part.
Equal rights is q new idea In
the South, but It is an idea that
is destined to prevail IN America
if our dream Of q truly democratic
society is to be achieved. This
historical trend is not likely to be
turned aside, but it is discouraging
at the moment to learn that the
youth Of the South, as represented
by their Young Democrats, has
not the imagination to see 1t.

he was not running out on the
health bill when he spoke Of its
needing some changes in commit

the bill. It does not feel that any
more public hearings are required

built UP last year.

ELIMINATION OF TRAPS IN THREE TO FIVE YEARS
 URGED BY ALASKANS

WASHINGTON - Elimination of fish traps in Alaska was urged this week by Delegate Bartlett, union agents and independent fish ermen.
 4 House subcommittee is con- sidering d bill by Bartlett to abol- ish the fish traps. He told the com mittee he would revise his bill to provide for gradual elimination of traps in from three to five years, instead of the 10-year period origi- nally provided.
 Bartlett said Alaskans last year voted eight-to-one to end fish trapping.
 Alfred Owen, mayor of Anchor age and AFL Fishermen's Union organizer there, said fish traps not only reduce the fish supply but con centrate fishing in the hands of a few large concerns.
 Owen asserted trap elimination would encourage more people to live in Alaska and broaden oppor- tunity for employment.
 Mayor Ira Rothwell of COrdoya testified as an independent fisher man and representative of Alaska s Fisheries department. He urged "any and all means to conserve fish," but opposed area licensing ''or anything to create a monopoly by the people now in Alaska"
 Seth Levine, Washington CIO re seacher, urged trap elimination large operators now control more than half of the fish traps and the total salmon catch.

Most regions by nature grow
the mainstay of the diet,
starchy foods. Practically all
fruits and vegetables contain
some carbohydrate, but the
ones used as the "starchy" dish
at the heaviest meal of the day
are those which at least one
fifth of the total weight is car
bohydrate. Foods serving this
purpose & locally grown are
the yam, sweetpotato, Tannia,
4 cassava. These are grown I'm
der the surface Of the ground.
The st. Vincent banana, green
banana, bread fruit and yellow
plaintain are fruits which are
used as starchy vegetables.
These foods are tasty, east
~ digested and give a sense of
fullnesS and satisfaction to a
meal. They are used inter-
changeably and occupy the
same role in the local diet as
does the white potato in the
European and American diets.
Like the white potato they are

SUMNER PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL YOUTH

= oONNE THOGHAM run SCHOOL YOUTH .I
H DAY IS COMING when vacation time for school
children will follow, at least in part. the pattern set by manv
communities on the mainland. When school closes here there
is practically no activity, organized or otherwise which helps
to guide boys and girls, and help them spend their time wise
y and effectively. 1t is true that we have no congested areas,
or Slum areas, as they are known on the mainland, and there
fore the need may not be SO apparent getting boys and girls
out OF the cities. Then,too, our vacation period is much short
er than those on the mainland, nevertheless we believe
that the time is ripe for organized programs for children, and
even grown boys and girls.
IF POSSIBLE there should be playground activities,
clubs, greater membership in the Boy Scouts of America, and
other programs through which boys and girls may well bene-
fit. In many sections of America, summer classes are conduct
ed, at least for part of the day, during part of the summer, and
from these classes much is learned that is useful at the time
and later on. AS for us here, there could be short classes in
weaving and other handicrafts, and the many trades from
which our youth could benefit. The summer also is an excel
lent time for boys and girls to take time, through organized
programs, to improve their swimming, and learn ifesaving as
it is taught elsewhere.
1T is H difficult financial condition in which we find
ourselves which prevents broadening out into those programs
that make for better manhood and womanhood. Without Civ
ing thought to the matter, it may seem trite, but on reflection
it will be agreed that these programs of which we speak can
find a very definite place in our community life. Not long ago
such programs were begun in St. Thomas, and many a.young
man and young woman found employment as playground
directors and in other spots where organized and directed
play was carried on. We here have a wonderful opportunity
to put into effect a program very well worth the effort and the
funds put into it.
IT is o TO BE misunderstood that we propose
launching forth into a pretentious program, or that such a pro-
gram should be begun Immediately. We are fully aware Of
