Build Bomb Proof Power Plants

power plants are at present under
construction and another five have
been completed. When all nine
teen are ready they will have an
initial capacity of 100000 kilo-
watts and an ultimate capacity
of 100000 kilowatts. Today Nor
ways total generating capacity is
100000 kilowatts. The capital
cost of the nineteen plants is be-
tween one billion and one and a
half billion kroner. Their power
supply will be integrated by a
special grid system, so that they
will form continuous belt all
around the coast from north to
south. The Department of Industry

authority to spend two million
kroner on special measures for

Collins Almost DrOWns In Lake

Thrown from a fast travel ling speedboat as it went into a sharp turn in Island Lake last week, A. J. Collins, owner |of the Casino, had a close brush with the grim reaper. Collins was experimenting with a P hp outboard on a IA foot Burchcraft, while Wilton White and Norman Fjeldheim watched from shore. A low light mist hung over the lake and the watchers at times could not see the boat.
 Suddenly it appeared and was empty. White and Field helm immediately jumped in another boat and dashed out into the lake. They found Col lins treading water and nearly exhausted. He was wearing a heavy jacket when thrown from the boat and was unable

could turn fir assistance. Now,
it is one thing to know impor-
tant federal officials or Con

when those officials & Others
are faced by a person who has
a political following in his own
state-a following which he
may arouse and to which GER
tain people in Congress may
feel obligated.
WE hope this does not sound
too involved or off the earth. 1t
is simply saying that the new
Government Secretary has ire
mendouS potential value be-
cause Of his past experience,
his acquaintanceship with gov
eminent functions, his init
mate relations with the party
now in national power, his
awareneSS of how to activate
politically-minded people, and
his personal acquaintance with
many Of the personalities now
in key places in government.
To our thinking, Attorney Am
brose can be used as a cataly-
tic agent in so many ways; he
can prevent many unreal ap-
proaches, and his past years
can be put to the service Of
the Islands.
HERE IS an appointment
which should have significant
mutual rewards for both the

THE NEW GOVERNMENT SECRETARY
IF OUR INFORMATION be correct, Daniel Webster
Ambrose, Jr, of West Virginia, has been named government
secretary of the Virgin Islands, to fill the very important post
made vacant when Hon. Morris de Castro was elevated to the
governorship.
THIS APPOINTMENT will probably mean many things
to many people, pro and con. It happens, however, that the
writer has known Attorney Ambrose for several years; has
seen him at work in the State Capitol in Charleston, West
Virginia, and has followed his civic and political activities.
AS PERSON, Attorney Ambrose will bring to the Viz
gin Islands good character, integrity honesty, and an ability
to get along with other peoples he will bring good training,
having both college and law degrees; he will bring vast ex-
perience in several areas. Down the years he has served in a
variety Of capacites-in his yo nth as clerk in the Census Bu-
reau, the Bureau of Standards and the Department Of Agricul,
ture; more recently as state tax abStractor, in the Land Depart
ment, the Auditors Office, State of West Virginia, for some
seventeen years. In addition, as a veteran of World War ], he
has been active in the American Legion and, for a period, was
post commander; and, during World War II, was assistant
state director of civilian defense. He has served as legal advi-
ser for the West Virginia State Teachers Association, the West
Virginia High School Athletic Union, and the Loyal Order Of
BiSonS, and was a delegate to the Democratic National Con-
vention in 1885, 1910, 1914 and l948. He is a member of the
State Human Relations Commission, the Masons, the Business
and Professional Mems Club of Charleston, and the Kappa
Alpha Psi Fraternity. He is an Episcopalian. In other words
Attorney Ambrose is wellrounded and has wide experience.
MOST IMPORTANT for the~vngn Islands, he knows
his way in the political world. He knows most of the members
of Congress by name, or know someone who knows them. He
is an important cog in the politics Of an important state, where
the 2-party system is dynamic, & where there is ~many-sided
and full political activity for those interested, regardless Of
race or color.
