UN Asked Study
Economic Situation
In Africa

The Economic and Social Council
of the United Nations has been
asked by the World Federation of
United Nations Associations to
give consideration to the economic
situation of Africa. The Federation
requested ECOSOC to undertake
an economic survey as prelude to
the inclusion of the African CONT
nent in the UN Technical Assist
ance of Point Four" Program.
Africa, which is not directly rep
resented on the Council, is the only
underdeveloped area which has not
yet been subject of such a survey
by the UN.
The submission of this item to
ECOSOC by the World Federation
stems from unanimous resolu-
ton adopted by its Plenary Assem-
bly, in Rove September, 1949. 1t
was first suggested by one of the
African affiliates of the World
Federation, the Togoland Associa-
ton for the UN. 1t was then pre-
scented jointly by representatives of
the Indian, South African, Italian
and Togoland Associations, and
supported strongly by the UN AS
sociations of Sierra Leone and
England.
In statement to the Agenda
Committee of ECOSOC, which met
on February l, Mr.. John Ennals,
Secretary General of WFUNA,
emphasized that his organization
feels the UN would be making a
serious mistake if it overlooked the
needs and potentialities of the con-
tinent of Africa, which covers 21eo
of the earth's area and go of its
population.

One of the most thrilling stories
in modern missions is recorded in
the book THE LIFE OF JACOB
KENOLY. He lost his life in an
effort to save some of his students
when they were out fishing for
the school Three of those students
came to Southern Christian Insti-
tute to continue their education
One OF them was Rev. James Run
dies, later pastor of the North
Jackson Christian Church, and
father of the present Advertising
Editor of the JACKSON ADVO-
CATE.
At the news of the tragic death
of Jacob Kenoly, Emory Ross de-
cided to take up where MS school
friend had left off, and himself
went to Africa as a missionary of
the Christian Church. Thus he be-
gan the experience which has made
him the greatest authority on At
RIGA living today. More lately as
head of the African Committee of
the Foreign Missions Conference
he has made many trips to that
country, and is the author of many
books on the subject. Recently
when the great DR.. Albert Schweit-
ger, best-known modern mission
airy, made his visit to this country,
it was DR.. Ross who was selected
to be his interpreter when he spoke
in French and German.
Because of his exceptional ability
and his notable record Of service
to humanity beginning at the
Southern Christian Institute, DR..
Ross should make an outstanding
contribution as president of the
Phelps-Stokes Fund.

He said further that the worlds
limited resources and it's ever in
creasing population make it neces-
sary to conserve and use all re-
sources nationally. If the living
standards of Africa were raised by
the development of its economic
resources, world economy as a
whole would benefit in turn.
Mr.. Ennals added that such a
study should "bear in mind the
paramount interests of all local in
habitants, irrespective of color,
race or religion" and if an eco
nomic commission for Africa is set
up, it should include not only rep
resentatives of African states
which are already members of the
UN, but should include Africans
who are not directly represented
in the UNI. e., representatives of
the people of Trust Territories and
Non Self Governing Territories.
The World Federation of UN
Associations is a worldwide or
ganization having consultative
status with the ECOSOC. There

DR.. Ross grew up on the SCI

In later years Emory Ross secur-

In the meantime, Jacob Kenoly

FRIDAY DECEMBER 20, 1850
Mr.. BOUGH IN THE U. N.
FOR THE past several ear the Avis ha,

0 H past several years the Avis has conducted a
Forum on which outstanding public citizens are presented.
The purpose of this forum is to give citizens an opportunity
to know more of the men and women who make cont1ibu-
tons, and to hear discussions on topics of concern to all. The
idea Of a forum came about because of the need to transform
the lecture from a purely political and abusive medium to
one which would throw light on matters from which the pub
lie could receive enlightenment and satisfaction.
AS / M GOES on other citizens and visitors will be
presented. There are men among us who have made signifi-
cant contributions, and who, in time will be asked to appear.
However, it sometimes becomes necessary to call upon those
who have but little time here. As of this date the Avis Forum
has been proud to present: Governor, now Judge William H.
HASTE, and Administrator Harry F. Taylor, in both Christian
sted and Frederiksted towns, Hon. Herman E. Moore, Judge
Of the United States District Court President Ashley 1. Tot.
ten, of the American Virgin Islands Civic Association.
. H LAST speaker on the Forum was James A. Bough.
As a native of these Islands and former District Attorney he
needed no introduction. What is of public interest is the Job
he is now doing in the United Nations. Undoubtedly many
of our citizens are not mindful that MI Bough's position with
the United Nations is one Of the most important held with
that body, and one which carries tremendous responsibilities.
AS Director of the Non-Self Governing Territories he is res
ponSible for political activities of over so such territories, Of
course within the scope Of the United Nations Charter.
IT Is SIGNIFICANT that a native of the Virgin Islands,
one Of the Non-Self Governing Territories should have the
qualifications and ability to fill the job, and to be doing it
very well indeed. 1t brings to these Islands a measure Of pride
and satisfaction, and one which cannot be easily forgotten,
for it places one Of our sons in the inner circles Of the United
Nations.

Letter to the Editor


 Dear Editor:
 As the end of the school year is at hand and our teach CTS begin to scatter to the four winds, some of them planning to follow their vocation in other fields next term, it seems only fitting that we who live here should say to them a grateful ''thank you" for a job well done.
 It has been my privilege to work closely with the teaching staff of the Kodiak Public School and to see them at close range. It has been an extreme ly pleasant relationship this year and I, for one, am grate- full for their public-spirited and whole-hearted co-opera- ton in dozens of things that have been for the benefit of the children and the entire community. My personal feel ing is that if some of the oth- CT folks in Kodiak were as public-spirited as are our teachers the town would be . better place in which to live. ..
 Ranging right down through the staff. from Superinten- dent Ivor Schott down to First Grade Teacher Marco Kills gaard (who l feel deserves special thanks for her splendid work as Community Library chairman and founder of the Community C Center Pre-School Playtime program), they have turned in an outstanding job. One of the real regrets we have at being now in the short-t timer class, since we iplan to leave Kodiak before too long, is that our children will not have the benefit of the skill and interest of this teaching staff. The commun- ity has every right to be proud of them.

time, in the United States alone, there are only
about 400 million acres of good crop land re-

acres are subject to costly erosion, and 420

pallng situation-will we do it before it is too

Sweden Plans To Build bomb-Proof
Afraid Shelters For 500 Millions

A report just submitted to the
government by Sweden's Air-Raid

two years ago, recommends the
construction Of hit-proof afraid
shelters for the civilian popula-
ton with room for 100000 at an
estimated cost of Kr. 100000, 900
($10O,O00,0OOO spread over a num-
Der of years. AS the shelters will
be used as hotels, garages and
recreation in peace time, more
than half Of this expenditure is
expected to be profitable invest
ment. In areas deemed less vul-
nerable, including the outskirts of
large cities, residential shelters
with room for 100000 over ten
year period are proposed. Stock
holm needs some 60 rock shelters
with roofs 10 meters thick. Ac-
cording to tests made, such rock
shelters as well as hit-proof con-
crete shelters can be constructed
in such a manner as to afford
adequate protection even against a
hydrogen bomb.
