fighting against each other.
Those who were organized
as far back as fifty years ago

have been taken over in COM

minded youth who pay little
or no attention to. their orgi-
nal plan to care for the sick or
the dead but are determined to
muddy up the water in search
of recognition in the field of
civic and politics. Still another
group are those who d~isassoci-

ability to lead and must be
respected above all others.

degree in order to do that"
Continuing his talk Totten
said that one of the reasons
why the Negro in America is
making such rapid strides is
because he acquires education
first before attempting to
boast about it after but the
most Virgin Islanders boast
about that which their brain
material fails to receive. We
boast about what we ought to
be before attempting to be it.
The American Virgin Islands
Civic Association, said he, is
no racketeering organization.
We operate upon the theory
that if we are to raise finances
here to help the people in the
islands it should be done by
native Virgin islanders them
selves and not from any mix
ture of people who are not Vir
gin Islanders but who merely
seek to exploit money from
the public the purpose Of
which is to cause free trips for
! playboys and playgirls to and

ed to the audience that Mr..
Totten had been elected to the
high and important post of be-
coming a member of the Fed
eral Council of Churches of
Christ in America and to re-

Church of America. He further
stated that he had been assign

 Unique in membership, the Guard boasts of a past that ante dates by many years the estab- lishment of the U. s. Army. More than 360,000 men throughout the country trade their civilian clothes for uniforms and participate in drills, weapon fire and military tactics as volunteer soldiers one night a week.
 Each state organizes and con trols it's own Guard, with the De partment of the Army distribut- ing equipment and Regular Army instructors supervising training, The governor is the only man in pcaCetime who can mobilize his National Guard unitS-alWays for duty solely within state boundar- ieS-but in the event of a national emergency, the President can or der the Guard to Federal service
 The National Guard is the ve- hicle through which well-trained men practice preparedness in to- days tense world. Coronet de- clares: "Their sacrifice signifies far more than the comparatively few hours devoted to drill and maneuverS. For every officer and soldier knows that he will be first to go if war breaks"
