OVERALL PROGRAM

OVERALL ROGRA
NTH DAY and time when billions are being appropri
ated for Point Four and other programs all over the world, it
is most gratifying to note that the House Appropriations SUBJ
committee saw fit to recommend the expenditure of a sum
sizeable enough to really carry out a program of improve
ment for these Islands. This should have been done many,
many years ago.
IT HAS ALWAYS been our contention, land in this the
entire groups joining with us, that the problems with these
Islands cannot be solved by snap reports based upon fleeing
visits, or in a piecemeal manner. The economy of these Is
lands has been growing graver by the year. Thousands have
left these shores within the last few years, and practically
every phase of island life became critical
WHAT is needed more than anything else is a long
range, overall plan touching every phase of life in the Islands.
Permanent improvement and an extensive building program
will do more than provide employment for a time. 1t will give
us, once and for all, those structures which will make more
effective the carrying out of such a program. We need a good
school plant, many Of our roads need improving, and harbor
and other facilities could and should be improved.
WHILE IT is true that much money has been spent in
making possible the Virgin Islands Corporation, there is need
for other industries which could be developed and put on a
practical paying basis. 1t is clear that whatever capital there
is privately is either not enough nor willing to be put into pro-
grams which only the national government because of its re-
sources could effectively undertake.
THEN THERE could be a long range agricultural pro-
gram designed to help create and develop farms and a train
ing program to man those farms with capable families which
could become the backbone of a new and glorious rural ele-
ment in these Islands. New fruit and produce should be grown
for outside markets, and food production for local consump-
ton should rank high on the priority list of farm enterprises
HI PAST has shown that any effort to lift ourselves by

Speaks At Rotary

The Rev. Harmon L. Smith,
new pastor of the First Methodist
church of Lexington, brought a
stimulating message on Fear
to members of the Lexington Ro-
tary club at its regular weekly
luncheon Tuesday.
The speaker was presented by
T. M. Williams acting for Henri P.
Watson, June program chairman.
only intelligent people have
fear" the speaker said.
"The moron has no fear" he
emphasized.
Fear can be a good thing, he
suggested, if it is used to redirect
our energies and put them in
channels where they will be help
full rather than harmful. Fear
sometimes develops because of
scientific development such as the
atom.
"A certain amount of fear is
good in any profession or busin-
ess," he said. This can be used
for mans peril or his happiness.
ut is wise to be careful with
those who have abnormal fears
we should be careful about what
we say to them" he related.
The Rev. Mr.. Smt.nn said that
ministers should have some Their
apy for a f~ear-ridden people and
suggested a firm faith that vii
lift US out of despair, out of our
selves, a faith that will give US
strength and courage to meet all
our problems.

HAZEL
EYES
by Hazel Bronnon Smith

During the past few weeks our
circulation department has mailed
out statements on subscriptions.
The response to these statements
has been very generous and we
want to take this means to express
personally our sincere apprecia-
ton for your kindness.
There remain quite a few SUBJ
scribers who have not yet mailed
in their checks or money orders.
To these we'd like to say we
would appreciate an early reply.
1t is not II wish to work a hard
ship on any subscriber and if
there is any reason why any sub
scriber cannot pay now and
wants to wait until a later date
VIC win be only happy to oblige.
On the other hand we do mt want
to continue to mail the paper
every week TO anyone who does
not appreciate it enough to pay
our small subscription fee.
So it would be a great help to
everyone on our staff if our tardy
friends would let us hear from
them right away
Incidentally, ] know that. the
vast majority of our subscribers
will be pleased 10 know that in
the future we r going to send
out expiration notices - mot bills
to every subscriber whose pa
per will expire the following
month. This will be a friendly
reminder and enable everyone to
keep up with his o her subscrip-
ton.
We are doing this for two a
ons: first of all prices have gone
up to such an extent on every
thing we buy in the way of sup
plies that we are compelled to
send the paper only to paying
subscribers.
Secondly, The Advertiser Is set
ting up its subscription files to
qualify for membership in the
Audit Bureau of Circulation. This
is a nationally known organiza-
ton which annually audifs the
circulation of the better news
papers in the country. All daily
newspapers and the larger and
better weeklies belong to it be-
cause it enables them to present
an amurate circulation picture to
the national advertisers through
national advertising agencies -
and eventually means more ma
tional advertising revenue to the
local newspaper
The latter in tprn - more re-
venue for the paper - means a
better newspaper for the reader.
Naturally the mare income we
have the better 2nd larger staff
we can hire to wark on yOair pa
per . the better paper We can
give you.

emphasis.
Ii is interesting to know nur
visitor found this issue in a hmm
die of newspapers which he
bought at an auction sale in New
York about thnae years ago.
Until reading this old issue we
thought we had been making "a
little progress on subscription
rates. But the paper then was
$500 - strictly in advance, of
course - and it still is $500.
Now $3.50 outside the county. }
They tell us now that a dollar to-
day buys % cents of what Il
bought back in l847 - so at the
present rate we'd say we are
making good progress-backward.
Advertising rates, too, were
double then what they are today
and the number of papers mailed
out were a great number less.
Thus time marches on.
If our printers can find room
for 1t | want to reprint from the
l847 edition mentioned a senti-

What is there harder to endure?
I've read it in the maiden's face.

The smile of hate - that I can

For smiles of foes, l do not care.
The smile of pride my spirit

The smile of love, my heart

There's meaning always in a
smile:
