1t was our privilege to come
to the Island of st. CroiS
in September, when. the Island
was beautified with all the native
Towering shrubs: these, with 8
background of green trees, and
hills covered with an abundance
OF grass and underbrush. Through
the southwestern part of the Is.
land, the meadows were full Of
green grass for the hundreds oil
cattle you could see grazing or
these meadows. The whole Island
dotted with old sugar mills from
east to west, led one to believe
there were great possibilities oil
further development in some
forms of Agricultural products
not at present under cultivation
During our stay on the Island
we have been very kindly receiv-
ed in parties by many groups, and
appreciate the great kindness
shown us. We rejoice that there
are so many Churches endeavor-
ing to spread the message of the
Gospel, and thereby raise high
standards OF living, morally and
spiritually. So many fine schools
and hospitals. We are glad to have
had a share in many of the, wor-
ship services on the Island. That
no one car say they have nc op-
portunity to find a place where
they may worship on the Chris
tian sabbath, and at other times.
We appreciate the efforts being
made to increase the number OF
visitors from the United States,
of which are very worth
while. AS / have said: we have
had great kindness shown us, and
know so many fine people resid-
ing here; but as one who has in
mind high standards of living
and its maintenance for true pros
perity, there are a few things I
would suggest, for true advance
ment that will be permanent; and
two of these are: that your lead
ers would be making a grave mis-
take if they shout permit st. Croix
and st. Thomas to become second
Reno and Monte Carlo. These
would not encourage the
best people from the North.
Then your hearts and ours have
been crushed and saddened by
the major crimes that have been
committed during the past four
Or five months, not only those re-

some continental Americans have been observed walking
around the town barefoot. or with dirty clothing-in some
cases shorts.
Afrlend OF mine suggested that they may be artsts-the

land in such attire.
Several days ago one of the
female species walked down
the main street of Charlotte
Amalie with one of the latest
two-piece (diaper-type) bath
ing suit. The Police promptly
stopped her, l am told.
One lassie from the continent
wore her shorts" so short that
a Police officer stopped her, haul
ed out his tape measure and dis
covered that it was unlawful. The
practice stopped.
All are agreed that st. Croix
should preserve its unique archi-
tecture-and culture.
. .
The st. Croix LandmarksSoc-
iety is serving a good purpose.
But they will receive greater ap-
plause if they broaden their ac-
Invites to serve the interest of
more than one group.
The local Girl Scout Troop
looked splendid in their new
uniforms. Is it just a coincident
that all are so beautiful and so
Web matched, just like sisters.
Just a coincident, perhaps.
More girls should apply for
membership in such a fine organi-
cation.
Riddle me this one: What is the
only community, probably, in the
world, where the natives actually
work hard to put their fellows
out of business?
The Members of the Municipal
Council have almost unanimously
agreed that they viii look into
the matter of electric current
rates, ETC., on their return from
st. Thomas. Good for you fellows!
Natives are beginning to feel
the squeeze; almost every land
owner is receiving notice of a.
general tax rise. No matter the
place has deteriorated and in bad
condition. The man with an abund
ance of money has brought about
the boom. So, eventually, the
exodus to the mainland must con
tinue.
