munist mainland.
Fall of Chinju
Even as the fresh forces landed
in Korea dispatch reported the
fall of Chinju, SIS miles west of the
defense port of Pusan. Chiniu was
the southern anchor of tEc Ameri-
can line and near the coast where
a main enemy drive was shaping up.
Tank led Communists hit the town
in force early Monday, forcing the
Americans to pull back their lines
from lowlands to the east.
Their commander was enraged at
the loss of the town after a three
day battle.
This is the ninth licking in a
row." he said. Il have been fighting
all my life but 1 never lost nine in
row before"
Red Losses Heavy
American officers said Red losses
were double the American casual
ties. The Americans dug in at new
positions less than SO miles west OF
| Pusan.
Nearly 40 miles to the north the
Communists also h a d broken
through Kochang, forcing American
defenders to take up new positions
farther east. Kochang is As miles
southwest of the new provisional
South Korean capital of Taegu,
and about rs miles northwest of
Pusan.
The defense of both Chinju and
Kochang fell to the Oath Infantry
Division, back in action under Maj.
Gen. John H. Church who succeeded
the missing commander, Maj. Gen.
William F. Dean.
302 Tanks Destroyed
Maj. Gen. Earle E. Partridge,
Fifth Air Force Commander, said his
men had destroyed 302 enemy tanks
and damaged 240 others since the
start of the fighting. This was con-
siderably higher than the estimate
of Macarthur headquarters
spokesman Sunday that 204 tanks
had been destroyed by all forces.
Gen. Partridge said the Americans
had lost 43 aircraft from accidents,
enemy action and mechanical fail
ures.
B-29 strategic bombers rained 500
tons of explosives on the North Ko-
rean- city of Hungnam and hit
something big" at chemical and
explosives plant.
In Britain Prime Minister Attlee
warned his countrymen that the
fire which has been started in
distant Korea may burn down your
house." He said Britons must tighten
up their belts to rearm against pos
sible aggression elsewhere.

Claude Q. Markoe, Principal
of the High School, the other
teachers throughout the Island
are doing a fine job, which
we have always contended,
but they are working under
grave limitations. School
plants, materials, and the bud
get with which they work are
grossly in adequate, and bet
ter results cannot be expected.
However, this is no reason that
constant effort should not be
made to improve these condi-
tons, and the sooner the bet
ter. With better school build
-ings, equipment, materials,
and an ample budget, we be-
lieve that plans to reorganize
the educational program to
fit the needs of the Island will
be made and carried out. Per-
haPs the place to begin cor
recting the needs Of this IS
land is in its educational sys-
tenn. And once that is done,

NEED FOR A DEFINITE SCHOOL OBJECTIVE

NEED o A DEFINITE SCHOOL OBJECTIVE
THE PROBLEM which natives face in seeking and main
tanning employment at the Virgin Islands Corporation focuses
the spotlight upon the Islands educational system, and the
need for its reorganization. Of this there can be no question.
AS we move along from day to day, the schools. while doing
all they can within their limited means, seem to have no de-
finite goal And this is shown by the fact that as fast as high
school graduates receive their diplomas, they head out for
the mainland and elsewhere.
THE OLD Vocational Institute, we are told by many re-
liable citizens, had all the making of a system which would
have served the islands need. Trades were taught, the stu
dents those who elected) studied agriculture, and had the
glorious opportunity of putting into practice in the fields
which had been learned in the classroomS. Young men and
young women were given a sense of responsibility and direc-
ton. The dignity and value of labor came to the fore, and,a
type of citizen was being made which would have changed
the entire outlook of this island. It was there, we are told,
that boys lived together, made their beds, worked in the kit
chen, the fields, and shops and were exposed to all phases of
life. The value of this type of training cannot be oyeresti-
mated, for students who stick wholly and solely to books are
likely to regard education as some strange blessing from on
high which separate them from their ~fellowmen, particu-
larly those whose opportunities have not been along the same
lines. The Vocational Institute met this problem head on.
After rotating Jobs, each student having his responsibility,
the entire group was exposed to music, the arts, and excel
lent social contacts. They heard distinguished speakers from
the mainland, and had their own dance orchestra, band and
symphony orchestra.
ATTESTING TO THE work done at this school are
those who have remained to make their contribution to the
life Of the Island, and they are very well known. With such
a school, which by ths. time would have developed along
all lines, there could have been no excuse that capable and
efficient young men could not be found right here to fill posi-
tons in Laboratories, factories and offices.

Progress Made
Toward One-Way
Traffic Plan

Work in preparation for the
changing of the traffic pattern
on court square is progressing
rapidly according to a statement
made by Mayor Allie S. Povall
Wednesday.
Workmen began re-painting
parking area markers on side
streets and on the outside rim
OF court square Friday. A park
ing area for wagons is being pro-
vided near the county Jail, and
a watering trough has been in
stalled there. No wagons viii be
permitted on the square when the
one-way traffic regulations take
affect.
Mr.. Povau stated that the pu-
bile would be given ample notice
as to when the traffic change
would be made. Traffic signs have
been ordered and should arrive
any day, he said, and with addi-
tons to the traffic directing
force the change will be made
with the minimum of inconven-
fence to the public.

Adoption Of Extreme
Measures On Disaster
Loans Made By FILA

THE adoption of extreme mea-
sures becomes necessary in order
to conserve remaining limited
funds for making disaster loans
said billiard B. Lasseter, in Wash
ington, d. c., in a recent COM
m%unication to all county super
visors, according to Walter Strid-
er, supervisor for Holmes county
The complete message is as
follows: due to large numbers OF
areas in which farmers suffered
production losses last year and
exceedingly heavy demand for
disaster loans in designated areas,
the adoption of extreme measures
becoms necessary in order to con-
making disaster loans. According
serve remaining limited funds for
ly, effective Immediately upon
receipt of this telegram disaster
loans may not be made under
either public law 38 or public law
II for refinancing of either Sc
cured or unsecured debts. All
county offices must be notified
of this change in policy imme-
diately. All unapproved loans in
volving refinancing must be re-
tured to county offices for revi-
sion to comply with this policy"
Mr.. Strider said that the FILA
will not refinance any old debts
but will limit the making of dis
,asJer loans to the actual expen-
ses necessary to make a crop in
1850.
Mr.. Strider said that the act
ion was taken when the demands
of banks and production credit
associations in many sectors of
the country for refinancing OF
debts threatened to exhaust the
agency's funds before disaster
victims could be helped.

City Fire Department
Gets New Fire Truck

The newest piece of fire
fighting equipment for the Lex
ington fire department is the
$500. fire truck recently pur-
chased by the city. According to
Mayor Povall the truckchassis

and the equipment cost $3.50.
The new truck is much faster

Ion booster tank capacity, carries
1,500 feet of two and one-half
inche hose and 300 feet of one
and one-half inch hose and has
an improved pump rated at 500
gallons per minute at maximum
of 900 pounds pressure.
All fire fighting equipment on

hose can be trained on a fire at
one time.
Disposal of the old engine will
be considered at the next meet
ing of the board of aldermen. Mr.
Rathell stated that the old en-
CINE would make an excellent
standbay unit if additional hose
could be, purchased for it.
