Keeping Ill Will

@W t
When William H. Hastie's
resignation left las year virtu-
ally all local groups rallied to
support the appointment of
Morris F. de Castro to be his
successor. The enthusiastic re
ception which he received as
the first Virgin Islander to be
elevated to that high Office in
dictated that his administration
would be the most popular one
in Virgin Islands history.
But Governor de Castro is
rapidly losing the tremendous
amount of good will with
which his administration was
launched. Some of his actions
have not only been highly un-
popular, but they have also.
enraged the masses Of the
people.
Accused before his appoint
ment as being too weak an exc.
cutive, the Governor wasted.
no time in proving that he had.
the strength, courage and de-
termination to succeed in his
job. But in a few instances his
courage has been exhibited in
the wrong direction. It is cour-
ageous to advocate measures
which the majority Of the peo-
pie are bitterly opposed, but it
is not good craftsmanship. For
no administration can succeed
confidence Of the PEG
pie that it is interested in pro-
noting the peoples welfare
and is opposed to any meas
ures that would impose unrea-
burdens upon them.
Those persons who have OPT
posed the Governor from the
start have been making enor-
nous capital out Of his advo-l
cacy of unpopular measures.
Other who wish him well have
also been compelled to disas-
Sociate themselves from a few
Of his proposals.
We do not believe than any
executive should make deci-l
sions based on public whim.

THANKSGIVING FOR BEING SPARED

OUR DAY Of prayer Of thanksgiving this year should
cause al citizens to stop, think, and go to the church Of their
choice there to give thanks to Almighty God for having been
spared the rayages OF hurricanes, which this year were peril
ousy close 70 Us, Each year between june and October tropi-
cal gales frequent this part Of the world, and the devastation
has been terrific. In Florida this year property in the millions
was lost, and even closer home, Antigua suffered, scores Of
buildings being blown down and hundreds left homeless.
Answering the humanitarian urge these Islands offered what
ever help we could.

WHILE A GREAT many buildings here

WHILE a 5nEh1 many buildings here are stone or con-
crete and therefore fairly safe, an equally great number are
OF the frame type, and subject to suffer from heavy blows.
Then there are fields Of cane and other growing crops which
would send our loss into several thousands if winds Of gale
proportions should blow our way. There is much that we could
lose, greatest of which is human life. Under the circumstances
seeing that we have been spared, there should be great graft
tudef for having beenle intact.
WITHIN RECENT years our loss has not been signifi-
cant. Oldsters tell us that around 1893 there was a great blow
which wreaked much loss. Then there was the 1928 gale
which also caused much damage, and which brought the aid
of Virgin Islands groups and individuals in New York, prin-
cipal among which was the late Casper Holstein. Since that
time we have been spared. Yet each year the threat is present.
and thoughtful people express faith and hope that the present
year will 60 BY without danger. The periods run for about
three months to about October 18th, BY which time the dan
ger is normally over, as the years have proved. That day there
fore has been set aside as a day Of thanksgiving and prayer
and well it is that there should be such asday.
INTACT THAT we have been spared when all around
us there was dangerm the air is all the more reason why
everyone, young and old should take time out to thank Cod.

BookIef Tells
How To Survive
Atomic Bombing

| Washington (LPA) - The atom
bomb has been knocked down t.
size in an extremely readable pam
phlet, Survival Under Atomic At
tack" which can be obtained from
the US Government Printing Of
flee, Washington 25, d. c. for II
cents.
"You can survive" the introduc'
tion says. "You can live through
an atom bomb raid and you won't
have to have Geiger counter, pro-
tective clothing, or special train
ing in order to do it. The secrets OF
survival are: Know the bombs true
dangers-know the steps you car
take to escape them"
First, the booklet wipes away
the myths about the bomb. 1t is not
true that an atomic bomb-or even
hydrogen bomb-will destroy the
earth or kill us all by radioactivity.
A "super bomb" which is 100 times
as powerful as the modern atomic
bomb (Which can damage buildings
2 miles from the explosion) will
have a range of only u miles
not 200 miles. We won't die of
radioactivity because it accounts
for a very small number of deaths
except in an underwater or under
ground explosion. Finally, radiation
sickness is seldom fatal even when
serious sickenss follows a heavy
dosage.
Next are listed the "six survival
secrets for atomic attacks"
(D Try to get shielded. (2)
Drop flat on ground or floor. (3)
Bury your face in your arms. (4)
Don't rush outside right after a
bombing. (5) Don't take chances
with food or water in open con-
tainers. (6) Don't start rumors be-
cause they may set off panic.
Household safety hints include
O Fireproof housekeeping-don't|
let trash pile up. (2) Know your
home-which is the safe part of
the cellar. (3) Have emergency
equipment handy. (4Close all
doors and blinds to pre-
vent being cut by flying glass. (5)
Only use the telephone for real
emergencies.
The booklet goes into interesting
detail on each subject, explainingl
just what you have to fear andI
what you can avoid if you keepI
your head.

AFL Government
Unions Seek $3.50
Salary Increase

Washington.-The AFL Govern
ment Employees Council will ask
the short session of Congress to
approve a flat $3.50 per year salary
increase for all graded federal civil
service employees and half million
field service postal employees, with
corresponding increases for hour
ly paid employees affected.
The increase is intended to off
set cost of living that has steadily
accelerated for the past seven
months. The council which com
prises "a AFL unions of govern
ment employees and represent 600,-
600 civil service workers was in
complete accord in firing the open
ing gun to obtain salary readjust-
ments.
Congress will be told that the
$500 increase sought represents a
bare cost of living increase and
may be subject to upward revision
if the new-type Bureau of Labor
Statistics cost of living index off
ers Justification.
Major revisions in the BIS
index, aimed at presenting more
accurate barometer of cost of liv-
ing, were scheduled to become ef-
fective in mid-1952. The sharp up
ward trend in prices has prompted
BIS to speed its new-type index,
which will be issued for the first
time later this month with read
justments and revisions dating
back to the beginning of the
Korean war and possibly to jan
uary /, 1860.
