plomatic channels, to approach
the Danish Government with
the request that the original

and baby has been encouraged to
laugh, gurgle and splash while he
is being bathed, he will love the
after-bath lotion routine, the
overall application of a pure oil
and-water emulsion with lanolin
and %antiseptic added, which helps
protect his tender skin from chat
ing, prickles and diaper rash. I'm
hampered by clothing, he will be
free to stretch, kick and squirm
while mother uses a cotton ball
moistened with the lotion, to pat
the lotion into each tiny crease
and fold.
As baby gets older he will EN-
JOY a floating toy in his bath.
When he is old enough to grad
uate to the family bathtub some
of the water can be let out after
he has been bathed, and he can
be allowed to play and splash
about in the remaining FIVE or
six inches, while mother keeps a
careful watch to see that all goes
well.

Bath time IAN be fun for both
mother and baby, but mother
should take care to set the right
note at the start. Most babies
seem to take naturally to their
baths, but at a time when every
thing is new and strange to them
they need the feeling of security
that only a confident, unhurried
and cheerful mother can provide.
Mother should talk gently and
reassuringly to her little squirm-
er while she fathers him and
rinses him off. If she laughs at
his first tentative kicks and
splashes he will be encouraged
to laugh with her. She must hold
him firmly to keep him from slip
ping down into the water, and to
support his head and back, but a
firm hold does not mean q tight
clutch. Baby will struggle against
a hold that is uncomfortable or
that suggests tension on the part
Of the holder.

FOOD PRODUCTION

Every now and then officials
here express great concern
over the islands, dependence
on imports for their food sup
ply and the %alarmingly small
amounts Of vegetables and
fruits which are produced To-
cally. A recent strike Of long
shoremen in New York which
shut off shipping to this port
for several weeks was the lat
est cause for alarm, and the
occasion for a new series of
conferences to discuss plans to
encourage Virgin Islands far
mers to increase food produc-
ton. Of course, since the strike
is over, the problem has been
forgotten, and plans to reduce
it have been shelved.
We believe that it is too i'm
portant to be treated lightly.
Apart from the dangers to
which it subjects the inhabi-
tants in the event of emer-
gencies, this tremendous
importation Of foodstuffs is
one of the reasons for the is
lands for items which the PEG
pc, with a little effort, could
themselves supply.
The problems that need to
be overcome to increase food
production in the Virgin Is
lands are not easy ones to
solve. The farmer must be
sold on the idea, he must be
convinced that he will not suf-
fer crippling losses as in the
past, that he will be able to
find a market for his products
and realize a reasonable profit.
The government should take
the lead in mapping the pro-
gram an dselling it to the far
mers, and adopting such other
measures as will guarantee
success.
We should give serious at
, 1951-12-01

tention to this matter. Few
things are more vital to the
community's well-being.

THREE MEMBERS OF WARD
FAMILY WOUNDED

Much excitement was caused
yesterday about 1870 pm. when a
truck conscripting men and women
stopped at the Wards home on
NV Ninth Street and comman-
deered Shadrach Ward, Jr.,
wounded his sister, Mrs. M. Burn
side, and also wounded Shad-
rach Ward, Sr., and member of
the guards. The Morale Commit
tee of the colored relief commit
tee made complaint to the proper
authorities. The police came out
and investigated the matter.
The story as related to our re-
porter is:
That Ward Jr., was asked to get
on the truck and he refused, at
tempting to show his permit, he
was beaten. His sister, Mrs.
Burnside screamed and she was
held and brought downstairs.
Ward jumped from the truck to
assist his sister when one of the
officers ran to the back door and
fired into the house, wounding
Mrs. Burnside, Shadrach Ward,
ST., and Shadrach Ward Jr. One
of the marines was also wounded
The Miami Times regrets such
a happening especially just at this
time when we are emerging from
the recent catastrophe. We be-
lieve that there are many able
bodied men who should be made
to work in this crisis but we are
not in accord with the method in
vogue, and feel certain that the
authorities will do the right thing
in adjusting this matter.
