section under the same roof.
Despite the activity of restor-
ing and remodelling the museum
building, the practice of perform
ing marriage rites in a ground
level room of the three-Story
structure has not been interrupt
ed. Couples from every part of this
area still come to the wedding
hall, which is gaily decorated with
lifelike flowers, to be married in
civil ceremonies. They choose
formal WeStern-style clothes from
a stock kept at the wedding hall
and pose in front of the Museum
for wedding pictures which in
clude ancient tile-roofed build
ings of the palace grounds as a
backdrop.
Recent ceremonies often show
signs of the times, for many bride
grooms in the uniform of the
Republic of Korea's army, which
is fighting side-by-side with U.N.
forces here. And soldiers Of U.N.
c~ontingents from Western coun-
tries often are seen in the we'd
ding parties of their Korean
friends.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Duk
500 Palace was built in modern
style for the then Crown Prince
vi on grounds which were chosen
by the Emperor of Korea more
than 500 years ago as a residence
for the royal family. But centur-
ies-old Oriental buildings, with
steep, overhanging roofs support
ed by wide, ornate brackets, still
dot the palace grounds, which
are surrounded by a formidable
stone wall. Within the stone wall
are ancient gardens, now somber
after the effects of war and cold
weather. One of the buildings was
occupied by the last Emperor of
Korea when the japanese took
control of his country in 1905.

That broadcast revealed a
lot of things too; it brought up
a number of interesting discus
sions on the several Council
men-strangely enough, b y
some who do not know them

It is worthy of note how
ever, that Chairman Carroll
performed well, and was not
in the least excited. That is
what having experience does
for one.

Why is it that, with a few
exceptions, each seems to have
a chip on the shoulder?
Some of them acted as though
they were anxious to undo
many things" done by their
predecessors, or they want to
get at somebody. The latter
they did! They excluded Lud-
Wig H arrigan, Member-at
Large from every office.
This brings to mind that dur
ing the campaign Harrigan
kept repeating -. this is a
campaign Of vengenance!!"
Even those who were against
him, now agree that he was
more right than he probably
had imagined.

Exhibition rooms in the Duk 500
Museum two weeks ago showed
the mark of war, which still scar
every quarter of this Korean cap
ital city. But today the interior of
Duk 500 Museum contains trim
offices and meeting halls, deco
rated in U.N. blue and white, and
U.N. delegates and staff members
are using conference tables and
desks in rooms which a few days
ago were filled with carpenters,
plumbers, plasteres and painters.
The Museum itself had not a
window, when U.N was given
permission to convert it to office
buildings. The explosions which
cut up the palace grounds and
left only a shell of the 70-year-
old Duk 500 Palace, once the
headquarters of the former U.N.
Commission on Korea, weakened
the museums roof. Priceless art
treasures, tracing the develop
ment of Korean culture through
the centuries, were endangered by
rain leaking through the roof and
blowing through the windows.
Today, as the seven members Of
UNCURK come up the granite
steps and pass between tall col
umns into the entrance hall for
the museum building, little is left
to recall the art exhibitions of the
days before North Korean troops
invaded the Republic of Korea.
But what is left is impressive
huge iron Buddha, more than 10
feet high, and a smaller compan-
ion by his side.
The other art treasures, includ-
ing sculpture, ceramics and paint
ing, are not, however, lost to the
Korean people but only Temporal
rily displaced while U.N. works
to restore the well-being of this
country for they are safely stored
in a newly-constructed warehouse

Voters are not forgetting
nowadays. Two years is a
pretty short time in politics.
AS some guy said, "You can
fool all Of the people some of

pie all of the time-but you
can't fool ALL the people all
of the time"

Just as ones sins will find
them out SO will the people
soon find out those who are
genuinely interested in the
progress of St. Croix, and not
merely egotistically interested
in himself as a councilman, or
as the servant of a special few.
