left.
In March. 1850, she could easily
reach the food because prices were
at her waist. In June, 1850. the
month Of the Korean War. she
could reach the food because
prices were around her shoulders.
In October, 1850. she could stil
reach the food because by tip-tOe-
ing she could reach the prices
which were just above her head.
But on Jan. IS. when the
Government froze prices. the food
was far out Of her reach because
prices were beyond the reach Of
her arm even an she tiptoed. When
prices got out Of her reach, the
Government halfway froze prices.
Whatever the reasons. II seems
very poor policy for the Govern
men 10 have allowed this 10 hap
pen.
II seems that the Government
was afraid 70 freeze prices and II
certainly was afraid 10 roll back
prices. understand the big
boys" told the Government Il
couldn't roll 'em back. And II
prices had been rolled back, labor
would not have allowed wages TO
be rolled back. II seems that the
President wanted things TO get
bad 20 that the country would
take controls without complaint.
But IOOkl Some food prices
can stIIl jump from 8 % roo per

There seems TO be something
Unfair about all this, Labor has
power and has influence on Gov
eminent. Business and manage
ment have power and can bring
pressure on Government. But
there are hundreds Of thousands
who have no power and they bear

Rev. C. NJ. Sexton at the morn
ing service, brought a beautiful
message To his people as he
spoke on the subject. The Cross
and It's Saving Power" Some OF
the highhghts Of the message
were that people take life at It's
complete worth, but that the
Power OF God, Is the only means
Of Salvation, beyond this there Is
nothing. The Cross Is an outstand-
ing symbol. What happened on
the Cross? In the early days the
cross was a method of execution
Of criminal. q means Of putting
people to death, but the Crucifi-
fixion on the Cross was the
symbol Of redemption Of the
world. II stands by itself as
moral standard that makes life
worth living and u a mark Of for
giveness. Without this symbol the
world would be lost.
The scripture reading was from
/ Corinthians. 1:22-25. Next Sun
day, Rev. Sexton will speak on the
subject, Prelude to Pathos."

in Fridays Fire

Miss Elaine Phaire, who re-
turned from New York recently
after retiring from her profession
as a Laboratory Technician, lost
all of her life savings as a result
of the fire at the former Chill
dren's Home last Friday.
Miss Phaire had invested in a
stock of dry goods with her life
savings, and opened a store on the
ground floor of the building some
months ago. At her request the
Chaberts gave her the store for
merly occupied by Jose Saad,
known popularity as "Mr. Cheap"
Miss Phaire planned to move this
week to the new location but
everything was destroyed. Ironic-
ally enough, not so much by the
fire but by the water used to put
out the fire.

Los Stdkemdn Opens
Music Week Here by
S~erendding Friends

Louis Stakeman, one of the
most popular musicians of Cru
clan birth, opened Music Week
with a bang when he, with a few
friends serenaded many persons,
some of whom were his personal
friends, during the early hours of
the morning. Beginning at about
3 o'clock, Louis, as he is affec-
tionately called, played Saxo-
phone and where possible plugged
in his Hawaiian Guitar and, ac-
companied by Pierpont Petersen
entertained until after seven
o'clock.
He has featured with the ia
nous Siboney Orchestra of Puerto
Rico for many years where al
most every radio is tuned in to
hear him sing and play "The
Calypso Man"
Many friends are anxious to
have Louis return to reside in st.
Croix; they asked him about it
and found that he would love to.
The only drawback is that he is
a professional musician. He has
made known his willingness to do
other work which would permit
him to reestablish his home here
however.
