George Simmonds
Adm. Of St. Johns,
Addresses AVICA

NY. Jan. 18, 1S51-Speak-
ing before a capacity house at
the regular meeting of the
American Virgin Islands Civic
Association held at the usual
meeting place, in New York,
Hon. George Simmonds Ad-
ministrator for the island of
St. John sounded a heartening
note when he told the native
people that anyone in the is
lands found opposed to the re
turn of their kinfolk does not
truly represent the thinking
people who of a majority want
a repatriation of all natives
who have been away from the
loIdnQS IneSe many years.
Mr.. Simmonds assured the
members that while there has
been some opposition Of the
AVICA in the past, adverse
feeling has long since died
down and everyone appreci-.
ates and understands the work
0 fthe association.

TALL TALES
GROWN IN ARIZONA
BY Joseph ID. Island

Phoenix is a wonderful place to
live. I've heard lot of people say
they don't know what it is that
keeps them here; that they would
like to live some place else, but
somehow never get around 20
leaving. I've even said it myself,
but, here I am and here I've been,
and I guess, here I'll be for awhile.
But I'll give you the low down
on what keeps people here. You
find most people who come to
Phoenix meaning to stay little
while, but they keep on staying,
and after they are hear year or
so they don't leave. If they do
they always come back. They say
it's the climate they like. But to
tell you the truth, after a person
drinks this Phoenix water for six
months he gets water-logged and
can't leave. And when this valley
sun gets through baking his brain
ne "ain't" got sense enough TO
leave. The water is getting low
and the sun is getting hotter, but
Arizona sun., 1951-06-08

the people keep a comm. Pretty
soon we'll have to borrow Texas
to hold 'em all.
Now take lesson from the
prairie doy: He sits in his den day
after day; the sun doesn't bother
him and he doesn't need any water.
His home is the desert and he
likes it. He has adapted himself
to where he is. Some might even
call him a desert rat, but that
doesn't make him one, even tho
he is kin to the rodent. He's all
right just the way he is. Then
you might compare me to the
prairie dog. like where I am, too.

POEM OF THE
WEEK
CONVERSATION

Beware of the company you keep
Be sure to shun exaggeration
For if our minds are kept pure
and clean,
We must guard our conversation.
Our associates help to make us,
To choose friends use consideration,
Be sure and measure each word
they speak,
And watch their conversation.
By our minds we are principally
governed
! On which hangs our future
destination,
BY our words, when talking we
expose ourselves,
| We should watch all conversation
When we come in contact with q
gossiper
Beware of hesitation.
Just watch your chance, and use
your tact
And change the conversation.
Don't let the evil one tempt you
Into a state of aggravation,
Just watch the trend your mind
may take,
And guard your conversation.
sometimes just one word spoken
Twill hinder a souls salvation,
If a stumbling stone you would
not be,
Just guard your conversation.
At times when talking we say
some words,
That will cause our own damnation
Consider we'll before you speak,
And guard your conversation.
Remember we are helping to shape
Destinies of the young generation
1T would be a great help the
example we set,
Ito guard our conversation.
So in this speeding age of life
It takes words of edification,
To serve best in destruction of sin
So guard your conversation.

DEFENSE PLANS
INCLUDE FARMS
REPAIR ORDERS

Head-work now-planning farm
machinery repairs will enable
farmers to spend maximum time
at field-work next spring, two
Ohio agricultural leaders agree.
They call early machinery-repair
orders part of farmers work in
defense plans.
Director C. NJ. Ferguson of the
Agricultural Extension Service
and Dale Williams chairman of
the Ohio PIMA committee, point
to the national emergency as
good reason for farmers Ito do
even more carefully what they
have been doing all the time"
Both extension and the PIMA
follow the policy of recommend
ing early planning for work to
be done later. The agricultural
leaders point out that the ma,
tional emergency makes ordering
machinery repairs 'in plenty Of
time even more important.
Williams says Is percent of all
steel and iron and 40 percent OF
other metals are to go for de-
fense production under presen,
plans. Labor will be short in
repair shops as we'll as on farms,
he points out. Logically, then
there must be cut-back in new
machinery production.
Time invested now in going
over machinery that needs re
pairs will pay dividends in the
form of uninterrupted field work
when field worG is SO important
Ferguson and William bott
point out that there probably vii
be some cut-back even in manu-
facture of repairs. If orders fol-
repairs are placed early, manr
facturers and defense planner,
will know better just how man,
and what kind of repairs will bt
needed, they say.
