They are asking you to make up their minds

That is the difficult part of suicide, the

should they provoke you and fight so des-

their shoulders and face the inevitable. A

TRIBU TIE

Speech of Hon. R. H. Amhlett
Leader, Chapter Chairman, St.
Criox Chapter of the American
Red Cross, at Christiansted, Tues
day, February Is, 1851, meeting
of the Campaign Committee,
Drive of l941, Mr.. George Van
Ripper presiding).
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gen
tlemen:
l move that we rise and remain
standing while l speak briefly OF
the late George H. Burnett who
the Grim Reaper took from us
this morning.
| was recommended to MIR.
George H. Burnett by a friend IN
Boston at the time MIR. Burnett
was coming to the Virgin Islands
and, conversely, Mr.. Burnett was
recommended to me. At the time
of his arrival in ST. Croix Mrs.
Leader and l were vacationing in
Puerto Rico. 1t was, therefore,
four or five weeks after his ar
rival that l met him. At that first
meeting we entered into a great
deal of intellectual small talk COW
ering the festival of Gilbert and
Sullivan operas in the New Eng
land States, Meyerbeer's lie Pro-
phete", Burleigh's Cotton Tails,
the interlocking directorate OF
politics and business, the first and
second Oliver Wendell Holmes,
and other matters. At that time
an acorn of Friendship was soWn
which has grown and grown un-
til today it is a large, steady oak.
Before he came to us George
H. Burnett was, among other
things, a trustee of several impor-
tant organizations; on the board
of directors of two banking instl-
buttons in Boston, and was active
ly engaged in the business and
civic life of his city and state.
This energy and interest he sub
sequently employed in st. Crolx.
He was a member of the st. Croix
Landmarks League; a member OF
the Board of Directors of the st.
Croix Chapter of the American
Red Cross, and last year as Chair
man of it's Campaign Committee
conducted a splendid and outstand
ing Drive. During the visit of the
New York University Study
Group last year, he was the
valued and esteemed Curator for
st. Croix. He has worked tireless-
ly for the acquisition of the Carib
relics collection of the late Folmer
Andersen for our museum to be.
Shortly after he purchased a
home in this town and decided to
live here, George H. Burnett
ceased to be a Continental and
became a resident and inhabitant
Of St. Croix, and that is a distinc-
ton with a great difference-if
, 1951-02-19

sident and inhabitant whose brain
took counsel of his heart.
MI. Burnett was intellectually
honest. Talk with him on any to-
pic of which he had knowledge and
you did not get a dressed" opin-
on, nor an opinion "that-is-known-
o-be-safe-and-popular"; what you
got-wrong, right, or perhaps mis-
taken-was the opinion of George
H. Burnett. A boyhood friend of
his once told me that George al
ways hated assimilation" AS
Fritz Greene Halleck wrote of
Robert Burns, we can say of
George H. Burnett:
He kept his honesty and thruth,
His independent tongue & pen,
And moved in manhood as in
youth,
Pride of his fellowmen."
When / heard of his death a few
hours ago, / recalled an incident
In our relationship that occurred
just a few weeks ago. W. boarded
the plane in st. Croix. He was go
ing to Puerto Rico; l to st. Thorn
as. At st. Thomas he said to me:
Get over to st. Croix safely after
your work is DONE" He was not
feeling well; but could still give
a cheerful greeting. His esteem
for me is generally we'll known;
but, perhaps, it is not so well
known that l returned this esteem
with usury. And so, knowing him
as we'll as we did, we feel 'kind
of certain, whatever may be af-
ter this life, that George H. Bur
nett will "get over safely"
