SATISFACTORY APPOINTMENTS

ia Tor AFTOINI MENIO
NOW THAT funds for the continued operation Of the
Virgin Islands Corporation has been approved and will be
available in a matter of days, it is gratifying to know that
the Board of Directors has retained its principal officials
president, vice president and treasurer now known as Comp
troler-in the persons of Norman S. Olson, Axel Schade and
Norman CisSel. These men have done a good lob, and with
the opportunity to continue in office, with added experience
and other factors, tn efutue plans of the Corporation should
begin taking form.
MR.. OLSON, for example, has taken his work rather SER
louSly, and has devoted much time and energy in a determin-
alton OF those things which would make for a successful en-
terPrise. He realizes that the Virgin Islands Corporation is
primarily a rehabilitation project, but that Congress, despite
knowledge to that effect, still expects to see balanced books,
SO ne has worked upon a plan for increased yields Of cane,
and to help accomplish this through the effective use of fer
tlizer. Like most able administrators, he has studied the Com
pany from the bottom up, and with this knowledge should
be able to make decisions for the improvement of the Corpo-
ration. One of the complaints most frequently heard is that
contlnentals coming to these shores do not remain long enough
to acquaint themselves with the basic problems, remaining but
a brief spell, then running off. The result is that any plans
made have to be carried out by others, and this does make al
decided difference. Fortunately Mr.. Olson will remain to put
into operation whatever plans he has drawn up, and to guide
them from one stage to another, and to ultimate success.
AS TO THE VICE president, the reappointment means
that Washington is satisfied that a native has done a good lob,
and should be continued in office. Nh. Schade, known
throughout the Islands, long established himself as a brilliant
capable technician, and it was in recognition of this ability
that ne was placed in charge of the distillery, and this was
the phase of the Companys projects that upheld the others
during the war. He fits into the scheme of things, and along
with the president should be able to put into effect a program
which will gradually change figures from red to black on the
Corporation books.
THEN THERE IS the comptroller, Mr.. Cissel, a man

friends with old and young, big

the big little you" attitude, or
the I'm going to Heaven you

some ministers have. One feels at

Before you decide to cast your

weigh the facts. Is your status as

ter now than it was two years
ago, or twenty years ago? What
has the present administrator
done to help you, the Negro, the
Negro communities? Is the police
force treating Negroes any better
now than they were two years
ago? Or are they still beating Ne
groes for no reason, and what has
been done about it? What about
the policy of the Robinson Audi
torium? What about the mud you
wade through to get to your home
each time it rains? Just because
a man smiles at you, shakes your
hand, and calls you Mr. is no
reason to vote for him if he's not
going to make your life any SAT-
err or happier. l don't know how
you feel about it, taxpayer, but
I'd much rather vote for someone
who promises to do something if
given a chance than to vote for
someone who has had the chance
and did nothing. You ought to
think before you vote and you
ought to let the town know that
you want more than a smile and
a hand shake. And while you're
thinking about the Mayor don't
forget that the Prosecuting At
torney just smiles, shakes your
hand and calls YOU Mr., but that's
ell, brother, that's all!
