Mr.. Alva McFarlane
Frederiksted, st. Croix
Dear Mr.. McFarlane:

Dear MI. McFarlane:
l was glad to read in the Avis
that you, as a member of the st.
Croix part of the Tourist Develop
ment Board, were not satisfied
with the way the visit of the
photographer paid by the board
was handled, as I had protested
the whole thing most vigorously
to Mr.. Goeggel upon the occasion
of his last visit to st. Croi. Not
one of the hotels was notified that
the photographer was coming, so
that they had a chance to prepare
for him. l understand from Mr.
Goeggel that Mr.. Giles was ask
ed to notify all of us, but it was
not done. The photographer was
very nice and cooperative, but he
explained that the board had little
money for the project, and ap-
parently he had been given an
extremely incomplete list of things
to photograph. The Hotel Associa-
ton was not consulted at all. On
the contrary, when I inquired if
they were not going to photograph
one Of our newest members, | was
told that Mr.. Goeggel had stated
definitely that they were not to do
so. The reason offered was lack of
funds.
The st. Croix Hotel Association
does not vote on its members. Any
bonafide guest house or hotel may
be a member, providing they are
willing to agree to abide by the
rules of ethical conduct for hotels
and are also willing to pay the
small dues requested for the
maintenance of services, ETC., and
assume other financial responsible
lily for promotion, etc. l have not
heard from Mr.. Goeggel or from
the members since the photo
grapher's last visit, so / do not
know whether all members had a
visit from the photographer or
not. But l suspect that they did
not.
1t would seem to me, MI. Nc
Farlane, that if the st. Croix
members of the Tourist Dnvo'o~-
mont Board were all as vociferous

I am leaving in two weeks time

would be glad to discuss this letter
and any other problems or ideas
you may have on the subject any
time before l go. ST. Thomas

BLACKSBURG, Va. Mar. 16.--
Egg prices probably will continue
we'll above levels of a year ago
during the 1851 Matching season,
according to D. U. Livermore,
VPI poultry specialist.
AS a result, he believes MANY
trainers will buy more baby chicks
than originally intended. A spot
check last month disclosed that
the Nations trainers planned to
purchase 4 per cent fewer chicks
than during the spring of 1850.
Mr.. Livermore said these figures
no longer can be considered ac-
curate in view of the price situa-
ton. Further fluctuations in the
price of eggs and feed may cause
additional changes in the outlook.
Mr.. Livermore said farmers in
the South Atlantic region will
increase their supply of chicks 2
per cent over last years purchases
The biggest increase will be in
the New England region, where an
increase of 40 per cent is anti
cipated.
