LEADERSHIP
rs SHIFTING

Hardly a day passes with
out some one mentioning the
fact that strangers are coming
into the island to establish
themselves in business while
the islanders who have been
identified with commerce for
many decades are yielding
ground. Many persons deplore
the situation even though they
have it within their power to
assert themselves economical
~ and turn the tide.
The average st. Thomian
does not risk his money in or
binary investment. He will
enter what seems to be a specu
lative deal most times only
after he has already found a
purchaser and the element of
risk is eliminated. For the
most part he is neither pion-
eering or creative and would
rather apply his initiative eff
fort toward destroying those
who seem to force ahead rath
er than using constructive
means to advance beyond his
competitors. The result of this
attitude is that outsiders are
coming into the island with
the orderly business approach
and succeeding where local
irnitators fail.
While the natives are wor-
rying about preserving their
various privileges by keeping
down those whom they can
help in order to heighten their
own stature economic leader
ship is passing from them on
to strangers who are willing
to risk their savings and trans
fer investments from else
where to these parts. Within
the last twenty years the

however, is the welfare of hos

fare work, revealed that during
the past year the Moo. has spent
more than $4,000 for this work.
The December event will be the
annual Christmas party given for
the 325 crippled children at Can

three truck loads Of toys were de-
livered to the Massachusetts Hos

order, and one truckload each to

II you have twins with identical
tastes. a, birthday cake offers no
complications, but if one twin just
loves" chocolate, and the other
insists he'll have nothing but
orange frosting on his cake, you
may have a major diplomatic prob
lem on your hands. The solution
is pictured here. To each twin his
own cake even his own flower
arrangement, and his own candles
to blow out.
The cake recipe is simple =
using a white cake mix - and
especially good because lots Of
tender coconut is mixed in the
batter. For the frosting a basic
recipe is divided in two parts -
each favored to the twins taste.
Then more lacy coconut is sprin-
kled on both cakes, and there you
are. Mother, with a glamorous
centerpiece for the birthday table
- and more important, peace on
the front line. And, by the way,
twins and birthdays have no
monopoly on this idea. The family
will love a choice Of fiavors.
