The CLERGY SPEAK

Today | want to say something
about prayer. AS all of us know
by experience, these are days
that try mems souls" These are
times of sorrow and bereavement,
times of war, conflict, and confu-
sion. These are times of restless
ness and movement to and fro.
That is why we need the help of
someone stronger and more intel
llgent than mankind. W. need the
peace and security which God
alone al give.
Therefore we ought to pray un-
ceasingly. We ought to pray spon-
taneously, freely, poyfully. We
ought to pray everywhere, and in
any position. We ought to pray for
everyone, even for our enemies.
We ought to pray in the nome of
Jesus.
Our Lord Jesus Christ some
times continued all night in pray
er. How long do we continue? Per
haps "the spirit is willing, but the
flesh is weak"
Let us, then, dear friends, relv
upon our Heavenly Father, and
call upon Him as dear children
call upon their dear father, There
will be darkness as long as Satan
is loose and people are what they
are. Let us put our trust in God,
who made all and cares for all.
Let US feel free to call upon Him.

QUITE OFTEN organizati

QUITE OFTEN organizations are formed in the name
of the entire Virgin Islands, and hold themselves out as such
to everyone both here and on the mainland, yet more often
than not, representation is quite uneven. And the PAL is no
exception. This organization, one of the most significant and
wholesome that could ever reach these shores, has somehow
followed the pattern of some that have gone before in failing
to have true representation. Appeals are made on the main
land. Funds are collected, and undoubtedly contributions are
made with the understanding that all the Virgin Islands will
benefit thereby. Yet, in the actual administration of matters
St. Croix somehow fails to receive what should actually be
its just share of attention and everything else.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE that these conditions have to exist,
and even more so that once attention is called to them, those
in charge do not hasten to correct them. But every effort will
be made to see that things change. The day will come when
public opinion will be strong enough to force officials to give
of their best to their duties.
UNDER PRESENT circumstances it might be best if
St. Croix organized and conducted its own PAL. 1t could then
solicit funds, make plans and carry out a program best suited
to the needs of kids here. While in union there is strength,
that maxim means little if some segments fail to gain the adj
vantages of that union. It is not too late for the PAL to make
right that which is lacking, and really and truly make its pro-
gram wide enough to fit the entire group. Failing this, it
seems somewhat unfair to leave the impression that there is
a PAL for the whole Virgin group.

PAL" FOR THE ENTIRE GROUP

RECENTLY THERE has been considerable spotlight on
the Police Athletic League of the Virgin Islands and its acti-
vites, Charges and countercharges have been made, and the
usual denialS were forthcoming. Where they al. lead and what
they add up to is not the purpose of discussion here. Another
aspect OF the situation strikes us on this side of the sea, and
it is one which has disturbed us considerably because it
draws the kind of line against which there might be little
defense.

1850, Worst Forest Fire Year in Alaska

WASHINGTON, (P) = Alaska had its worst forest fire season in many years in 1850, the interior departments bureau of land man. agement said this week.
 The years PAS fires blackened more than 2,225,OOO acres. Eight of the fires, extending over 1928 acres, occurred after the normal fire season, which customarily ends in October.
 Before the Territory inaugura. ted fire control work in 1889, an- nual losses of 3,OOO,OOO or 4,OOO,- 900 were common.
 The losses in recent years: 1949, 17,9OO acres; 1948, 33,675; 1947, 1,429,9O0; 1946, 1,436,OOO; 1945, 116,6O0.
 Considering th,at the bureau has fire responsibilities for 80 per cent of Alaska and that it receives for this work less than one mill an acre, it is amazing that fire losses have been held as low as they have," bureau director Marion Clawson said in pre- pared statement.
 About 4O,OOO,OOO acres of com mercial timber, largely spruce, re- main
 "These stands, if protected, are large enough to supply local needs until young timber has grown to maturity.
 However the increasing popu- lation of Alaska, plus greater em- phasis on the Territory by the military, and prospects for early development of a birch industry to supply products for export, make it mandatory to conserve the remaining forests"

 ''They opposed the amendment but still were strong for State hood," he declared.

Continued from Page One) ped. It proposed to limit the sale of State lands to tracts of $40 acres ad limit the authority of the State to collect more than 1213% of the minerals taken from State lands. The committee was told that gold miners favored retention of this clause.
 Congressional Delegate E. L Bartlett, member of the state hood committee, predicted the proposals would draw little, if any, opposition in Congress.
 In connection with its request for release of "frozen" funds, the committee planned to distribute information to counteract what it described as erroneous statements of Senators during the recent fili- buster which blocked Senate vote on Statehood.
 Additional information, includ- ing an annual report to the Legis- lature, would Joe made available in Alaska.
 A research program on a State Constitution would be initiated, with efforts made to have the University of Alaska participate.
 The committee voted to urge Bartlett to concentrate on State hood efforts and to ignore what it referred to as attempts of oppon- entS to sabotage the measure by presenting other bills for the pop ular election of the Governor.
 Sen. Frank Peratrovich, mem- Der of the Statehood committee and an executive committeeman of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, expressed a belief the natives of Alaska will be solidly behind the new Statehood measure.
 "The new bill eliminates the clause which would forbid estab- ishment of reservations while Statehood is pending" Peratro- vich declared. "This provision was written into last years bill as an amendment at the request of Sen ator Butler of Nebraska"
 He said the amendment was a joker" to stir up opposition to the bill, not to help Alaska"

To Clarity Mistaken
Notions About
0Id-Age Pensions

One Misunderstanding that has
beclouded the state of Washing
tons old-age program is the
mistaken notion fostered among
senior citizens that grants from
the state are something they
are entitled to in their own
right The actual fact Is that
pensions" are accorded them,
not for any deserving perform
ance of their own, but because
of kindly policy adopted by
their fellow-citizens, too often
is overlooked. Thus. instead of
being grateful for favors receiv-
ed, some become disgruntled be-
cause the rewards are not more
munificent.
The old-age pension union may
not be alone responsible for this
erroneous conception. Newspa-
pers and others have freely used
the words pension" and pen
sioners." When all this public
assistance business began. back
in the depression, there may
have been a kindly thought OF
softening the idea of pub i C
charity for elderly people who
were in ne e d. Sentimentality
thus helped tn e professional
pension" promoters to confuse
the issue. It would be better
for the public, the senior citi-
zens and all concerned to face
the facts frankly as the Yakima
social workers experiment plain
ly illustrates.
