Prince Georges Commissioners
Criticized For Reversals
The frequency with which the Prince
Georges County Commissioners reverse
their important decisions makes one
wonder whether they are qualifying for
the coming elections.
They have during the past twelve
months regularly reversed themselves on
apartment zoning. They reversed them
selves to the tune of 100000 of the
taxpayers money by the issuance of
bonds for the County Hospital.
Badly as claSsroomS are needed the
Commissioners reversed themselves by
authorizing the expenditure of $45000
for the addition of school cafeterias.
With such representatives the outlook
for the taxpayers is indeed gloomy.

Time We Asked Ourselves
What Makes Them Disloyal
Instead Of wasting SO much money on
Investigations and trials of disloyal citi-
zens who betray our country, wouldn't
it be better and simpler to appropriate
one-tenth of the money thus wasted
to learn why these disloyal people should
want to betray their country?
Something must be decidedly wrong
with our vaunted democracy to make
some persons favor its overthrow in
favor of conditions as they exist in
countries behind the Iron Curtain.
While our system OF Government isn't
perfect, 1t certainly is far, far superior
to the communistic idea. Why, then, do
these people wish to abolish the de-
mOCraCy we KNOW!
For financial gain? According to the
evidence brought out, only the informers
against these disloyal people got paid.
It appears we are too anxious to search
for scapegoats. Is it to hide our Short
comings?
Wouldn't it be better to find out what
our shortcomings are. seek to remedy
them, and thereby remove cause for
disloyalty? RHODA c. SEDLOW.
Government Should Take 1t Easy
The best government is one that runs
with the brakes on. It is simple mat
to upset well-orgahized bodies by
resorting to hasty bureaucratic changes,
but it is another matter to turn chaos
back to order A cure is not cure at
all if 1t produces other economic ills.

Sean and Dev-God Was With Them

IT was afraid I would be stopped at
the pier in New York. but it was easy.
I just put my raincoat over my arm
and walked off.
: ut was Sunday and I went looking
for Dew. I went to the Office of an
Irish American group. It was closed but
man came to the door.
"'You just got off ship" he said.
Come in
when asked him how he knew, he
said it was the raincoat in June. He
would never have let me in otherwise.
"Dev was still in hiding but learned
the Friends of Irish Freedom the next
day at the Waldorf. I went to it. There
were thousand people there, and what
a thrill it was when John Dewey of the
Gaelic American-he was the toast
master-sprang surprise by saying:
"'And now have the honor of intro
ducing Eamon de Valera, the President
of the Irish Republic
I'VE raised Sc million here. We
never would have been able to get that
but for Lloyd George. He let loose
the black and tans while we were here
and the indignation of the Irish Ameri-
cans gave us the money 1t was this war
chest that made the new nation pos
sible.
"And shall tell you how Dew went
back? After our American tour We re-
turned to New York. One day Dew dis
appeared. Reporters couldn't find him
and I'm sure the British intelligence men
took note.
"He was on ship that put into Liver
pool. AS it steamed up the Mersey, a
boarding cutter came down the river
crowded with Scotland Yard men.
1.-TWO of the ships sailors, both IRB
men, had charge of Dew. They we're
going to put him in the fore peak tank
a ballast tank that is seldom filled. At
the last minute they changed their mind
and successfully hid him elsewhere.
do you know that, as it happened,
the tank was filled before the ship
docked? He would have been drowned"
The minister paused
God was with him." said.
Indeed He was" said Mr. Nunan.

Mr.. CHAPPELLS TASK
THE APPOINTMENT ola full time executive secretary
Tor the ST. Croix Chamber of Commerce promises much for
this Island, and at the same time poses a strong challenge to
Ivan ChappelB who fills the post
Mr.. CHAPPELL has a most wonderful opportunity to
perform a service such as has never been performed before.
He is in a pivotal position, one from which he may turn in any
direction, and with understanding and ability bring forces to
bear=on the economic life of this Island. Just how he will de-
tailhis job is for him to say, after consultation and conference
with the Chamber of Commerce. But undoubtedly he will
want data, and compile~s statistics, as part Of the tools necessary
for his job, and skilled as he is, will ,mquestionably use them
in forwarding the main purposes and broad outlines Of the
Chamber. 1t is evident, then, that his first few months will be
devoted to getting his feet on the ground, looking around,
charting his course, meeting people, and at the same time
trying to set in motion the forces which will make the Cham
Der OF Commerce a vital factor in the economic life of this
place.
OUR CONGERN"m Mr.. ChappelIs work is in terms of
the importance of his position. Because the people of the Vr-
gin Islands think independently, and have a way of their
own, it is necessary that those who work among them try to
see the light. Experience has shown that many a continental
has missed his opportunity because he failed, first to see-om
people in their right light, and second, to dismiss as .unim-
portant much Of what our people hold dear to themselves
Beneath the surface is a delicate sensitivity which must not
be. brushed aside if success is to accompany any work done.
Because, the place is small, because there is intimate con-
facts, what can count almost as much as the ultimate in skill
and ability, administrative and otherwise, is the day-to-day
contacts with people whose faith has been shaken. These
people need an understanding and return to those things
which means much to them.
THE JOB which Mr.. Chappel fills is therefore t0o8old
He can help to sell the beauties and values Of these Islands

have drifted more and more into

This creates a new relationship
with the customers.
Maybe even more of factor is
the circumstance that millions of
veterans married young, came
back from the war with commit

buy houses, and use their avail
