terest must transcend all lesser in
terests. When the legislature, in
reprisal, sought to remove from
the executive the right to lay-off
employees on account of shortage
of funds, ! was forced to veto that
action as an unWarranted incur
sion of the legislative branch into
the functions of the executive
branch of the government. Deficit
spending is a fraud on the people.
1t conceals the burden of the peo-

am afraid that we shall either
have to raise more revenue, or fur
ther reduce our expenditures, or
do both.

I have been greatly disturbed

has afforded to these islands.

proved, brings much better results
than a hostile, "know-it-all" man

damaged their cause by demand
ing all and giving none. I believe
the islands have made many
friends in high places. That friend

Governor Morris F. de Castro
Radio Station VISTA
November II, 1850

Fellow citizens of the Virgin
Islands,
Within a week it will be eight
months since / assumed office as
Governor of the Virgin Islands. I
wish tonight, for the second time
since my Inauguration, to report
to you my progress and my lack
OF progress, and to give you the
reasons therefor. My first report
was made to you when / address
ed the inaugural meeting of the
Fifteenth Legislative Assembly on
August the seventh this year.
Many important things have tax
en- place since then, but l have
purposely refrained from making
a radio appearance during the po-
litical campaign which has just
ended for the reason that / be-
lieve that an appointed Governor,
who cannot stand or fall on the
issues presented, should not par
ticipate in the campaign, even
though his policies and his acts
may be misrepresented by candi-
dates for their own personal gain.
Efforts of past and present
administrations
Unlike some of the speeches
you have heard recently, I shall
not attempt in this report to take
credit for all the developments of
the past eight months. Many of
these important developments
have been the successful culmina-
ton of efforts on the part of Gov
ernor HARDWOOD and Governor Has
tie during the past several years.
| shall, however, give you a fac
tual picture of the part the pre-
sent administration has played in
having these plans translated into
practical action, and in the
achievement of others which the
present administration has spon-
sored.
Friendship of high officials
and members of Congress
At the outset, let me say that /
have earnestly tried to make
friends for the Virgin Islands dur

Pedestrians Over
IS Urged To Use
Extra PrecautiOn

Pedestrians who are IS years or
older are IL time as liable to be
killed in traffic than younger
adults, according to Washington 1.
Cleveland, A.A.A. official and
Washington's official representa-
tive for the National Pedestrian
Protection Contest, who stresses
the necessity for elderly people to
be extra cautious in crossing
streets. Old people often do not
allow the time to get across the
street that their slower pace de-
mands.
Four suggestions which Mr..
Cleveland made to elderly persons
included: (1) Look both ways be-
fore crossing and be certain you
have time enough to get to the
other side of the street before ap-
preaching automobiles reach you;
(2) Never try to cross at faster
than your normal pace as you
may fall or may not be able to
walk fast as you expected; 81
Choose the safest crossing, prefer
ably where a traffic officer is sta
toned or there is a traffic signal,
or where there are pedestrian
safety islands in mid-street; (4)
Never depend upon drivers to stop
for you.
