Accident Facts"

American motorists are learning
to drive more safely, according to
the 1949 edition of the National
Safety Councils statistical year
book, Accident Facts" The 1948
traffic volume was the greatest in
the nations history, 8 per cent
greater than 1947. Yet the mileage
death rate-deaths per 100,000,000
vehicle miles-was the lowest in
the nations history. The 80 rate
was 80 per cent lower than the
average rate of 11.5 through World
War II. If the higher rate had pre-
vailed last year, $4,000 more lives
would have been lost. However,
there still were $4,000 traffic deaths
in 1948-only 700 fewer than 1947.

5:19. Thou, o Lord, remainest for

ly to be praised; and his greatness
is unsearchable. One generation
shall praise thy works to another,

A correlative passage from the
textbook Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures by Mary
Baker Eddy is: (p. 331). The Scrip
lures imply that God is All-in-all.
From this it follows that nothing
possesses reality nor existence ex-
cept the divine Mind and His ideas.
Everything in Gods universe-ex-
presses Him. God is individual, in
corporeal. He is divine Principle,
Love, the universal cause, the only
creator, and there is no other self
existence. He is all-inclusive, and
is reflected by all that is real and
eternal and by nothing else. He fills
all space, and it is impossible to
conceive of such omnipresence and
individuality except as infinite
Spirit or Mind. Hence all is Spirit
and spiritual.

One brick that has been attack
ed is spinach. Popeye brought spin
ach into the list of absolute essen

its vitamin A quality. Then re-
search showed that the calcium of
spinach is not available. (The oxa-
lie acid of spinach is combined with
the calcium and the result is an in

intensely. The story is, that we
have never eaten spinach for its
calcium value, but for its vitamin
A and that value remains un-
changed.

there is high percentage of

to use the grains in their natural

to the contrary.

TO HEAD PRE-
SCHOOL CLINIC
Miss Marion Gilmore To Be
Speech COrrectiOnist With
State Health Board
EXPERIMENTAL WORK

DIR. Floyd I. Hudson, executive
secretary of the State Board of
Health, has announced the return
of Miss Marion Gilmore, speech
correctionist with the Division of
Maternal and Child Health. She
has spent this summer at North
western University as a demon
stration teacher with DIR. Harold
Westlake's pre-school clinic for
children handicapped with cerebral
palsy. The clinic is doing expert
mental work with children as
young as % months in an effort to
form normal speech habit patterns.
Such early treatment will allow
them to develop at the average
age rather than depend upon re-
habilitation. She also studied lip
reading with DR.. and Mrs. Alex
Ewing, emminent staff members of
the University of Manchester in
England.
Miss Gilmore has pioneered in
speech therapy' in Delaware since
she came here three years ago. She
is a graduate of Geneva College,
and received a masters degree in
speech correction at Northwestern
University in 1912.
DR.. Hudson also announced two
new appointments in the Division
of Maternal and Child Health. Miss
Ruth Blattspieler a speech thera-
pist, will assist Miss Gilmore; and
Miss Dorothy Morgan, an audiolo-
gist, will head hearing conserva-
tion in conjunction with the speech
therapy program for handicapped
children. The appointees will as
sumo their duties about September
10.
Miss Blattspieler was graduated
from the University of Nebraska,
and received her masters degree
in English and speech at North
western University in 1948. She is
a member of the National Educa-
tion Association and the American
Speech and Hearing Association.
Until recently she has been head
of the Speech Department of the
Elgin, Illinois Public Schools, and
during this summer she was on the
teaching staff at Shady Trails
Speech Correction Camp in North
Port, Michigan.
Miss Morgan did her undergrad
uate work at Milwaukee State
Teachers College, and was award
ed a masters degree in audiology
at Northwestern University in
1949. She held the position of !
Consultant in the Elgin |
Public School System for 3 years;
and during the last year, was a
demonstration teacher in the
School of Speech at Northwestern
University and the Summer Insti-
tute for Parents in Illinois.

welfare it was originally

All that Mr.. Olson need do
is take stock of himself, realize
the place of the Company in
the economy of the Island, the
purpose for which it was found
ed, and then set out to accom-
pllsh these detectives in the
most effective manner posi-
BILE. Certainly discharging all
the natives from key positions
IS not one of the ways for ac-

For the reasons above, it is on
ly fair and just that an impartial
hearing be granted in Mr.. Schus-
ter's case.
The Board of Directors is res
pectfully requested to disregard
the fact that Mr.. Schuster COM
piled with Mr.. Olson's demand
and has already signed the resign
alton which was presented to him
by the said Mr.. Olson, because Of
the fact that it was virtually UNI
der pressure, MI. Schuster believ-
ing at the time, that the Presi-
dents word would be final in his
case, or that the President might
have reconsidered his hasty de-
cision and not completely separ-
ate him from the Virgin Islands
Company after his long and faith
full services.
AS this question has consider
able bearing on the policy Of the
Virgin Islands Company, and on
the Presidents attitude towards
the native employees, who are dis
turbed at the gloomy outlook,
based on our experience, we are
convinced that the attitude of the
present administration of the Vir-
gin Islands Company is to discrim.
mate against natives with regard
to supervisory and other respon-
sible positions.
We request, therefore, that the
Board take such action as would
be fair and just in the present
case, and further, take into con-
sideration that the establishment
OF the Company was primarily
and is still, for the rehabilitation
of the people of the Virgin Is
lands.

THINGS ARE BEGINNING TO SMELL

H DISMISSAL of Eugene Schuster from the Virgin
Islands Company is beginning to smell to high heaven. Rarely,
it ever, have we seen action which Smacks of sheer dictator
ship and utter disregard for the welfare of individuals and
groups as that carried on by some of the officers of the Com
pany. Without forwaning of any kind, the President, Norman
S. Olson, called in Mr.. Schuster and forced him to sign a re-
signation. There was no hearing, no possibility whatever for
explanation, and no lapse of time between the the presentation
and signing.
AN ALMOST similar case took place 2 months ago when
another high ranking officer of the Company sent home two
per diem employees, both experienced clerk-typiSts, because
they requested an increase from As to IS cents per hour, with
the usual excuse of shortage of funds. Not three weeks after
another clerk was hired at the rate of 81. per hour. But we
prefer to deal with the case of Eugene Schuster at this time,
based on his fifteen-year record.
BECAUSE WE in the Islands are sometimes accused of
becoming unduly excited, and jumping to conclusions, the
AVIS has made a practice OF very carefully checking before
taking a stand. In this particular case we are not concerned
with the incidents leading up to the dismissal, though there
were none which could be justifiedly pointed to. 1t could bel
that the Company might have been gathering information
leading up to the dismissal but if that were the case, then, in
all fairness to Mr.. Schuster, and following a course of action
wholly above board, it should have presented information toI
the accused, and permitted him to defend and explain. Them
if after all that had been done, and no iustfiabIe explanation
given, the Company would have been on safer ground. What
smells is the manner in which the dismissal was carried out,
and it did not take long.
Mr.. OLSON has set on a course Of action which makes
us begin to wonder whether he has the welfare Of these Islands
at heart, or does he intend to carry out in any way shape or
form, the basic purposes for which the Company was formed.
, 1949-02-11

this belief, and it has reached
to the place where even time
keepers have to be imported.
What, then, is the purpose of
having a local high school,
(which, up to the present has
done satisfactory work as
by the number of its
graduates which are admitted
to the leading colleges on the
continent? AT the rate follow
ed by Mr.. Olson, the Virgin Is
lands Company will soon be-
come an agency devoted to
furnishing employment to out
|siders. And this is certainly not
the way. No, Mr.. Olson, things
are beginning to smell.
We could continue at length
pointing to such phases of the
question as Mr.. Schuster' long
term service, his promotionI
through successive positions,
and the tremendous burdens
placed upon him which with
out adequate assistance, as
pointed out in the report Of the
Island DIS Legislators to the
Board of Directors, all Of
which should have been fully
taken into consideration before
such an Unprecedented dismis-
sal.
We wholeheartedly join|
with the two legislative bodies
in requesting that the Board
of Directors of the Company
in Washington take such ac-
ton as tOould be fair y Just"
It is unfortunate that Mr..
Schuster yielded to the de-
mands for signing his resigna-
ton. Had he held his ground
an issue could have. been rails
ed, and an investigation more
quickly brought about. Butt

right, neither does the forced
