The Principals office was
Overlooking last week with at
4 tractive and interesting original
drawings of Phyllis Wheatley
Boys and Girls dreams. It was
the occasion of the United States
Savings Bond Contest. Only five
daWingS could be submitted to
Tampa and it was quite difficult
to determine which Dreams
were of the best five. PRINCIPALS
from other schools were asked to
act as judges in the Examinations.
Mr.. Charles Williams, Booker T.
Washington High school. Mrs.
Alese Gill, Liberty City Element
airy School, and Mrs. Frances
Tucker, Carver High School were
the judges. The following pupils

Daniels and Frank Griffin.
Ethel Smith of Mrs. L. E.
Thomas fifth grade recently won
first prize in the state oratoricaI
contest of the Florida State Sun
day School Convention held at
Fort Lauderdale.
Phyllis Wheatley is quite
proud of Ethel and especially so
since Ethel competed with all
high school students.
Mrs. Alice Evans of the inter
mediate department and Miss
Hattie Brace of the primary de-
partment represented the faculty
at the meeting of the FSTA in
March. At recent faculty meet
ing the two ladies gave very full
and interesting reports on the
meeting.
Most of us unconsciously make
errors in singing several we'll
known and often used songs. Mrs.
Mable Thompson has been dill
gently working with the children
on these common errors. Mrs. L.
E. Thomas class was the first to
rectify this general fault and
graciously rendered selections of
"The Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lie" Columbia, The Gem OF The
Ocean, America" and THE
Star Spangled Banner" and
America, The Beautiful" - over
the PA system to the entire
school after Mrs. Alberts regu-
lar Wednesday morning talk.
The intermediate classes have
been listening regularly to the
GAS broadcast over WHO'D OF

than Role, Eugene White and
Frederick Saunders, from MRS.

Chinese troops are massing for
what may be a grand often

areas were clogged with enc

United States task force
that roared into North Korea
on Sunday and shot up enemy

was the third to do so in two
days. Everywhere else the Al

are ready to move north if the
word is given.
The frontier is within easy
range of even small foot pa
trolls. Allied flyers spotted $50
enemy vehicles on the roads
yesterday before bad weather
set in. This brought to 5000
the number seen within the

Cyril King of Youth
Council Criticizes
Delay by Council

@A4
WASH.-Cyril E. King, Lee
gislative Vice Chairman of the
Virgin Islands Youth Council,
oday attacked the Resolution
recently adopted by the Saint
Croix Council requesting the
Congress ito defer action on
the new Organic Act" as a
fragrant misrepresentation of
the best interest of St. Croix
and its people.
There can be no argument,
said King, over the fact that
the people should be given
every possible opportunity to
express themselves before fl
raj action is taken on so signi-
tcant and vital an issue.
Nevertheless, the Municipal
Council of St. Croix as we'll as
he Organic Act Reform Com
nittee, the Legislative Assem-
bly, and the advocates of a go
low-policy" should be remind
d that undue and unreason-
bic delay in initiating action
On H.R. 2644 could well result
n an indefinite continued
operation at the embarrass-
nent of the Islands and their
people of the present outmod-
ed, top-heavy, and much too
complex government structure
King, who represents the
Virgin Islands Youth Council
IL Washington, and who, with
he exception of two very
minor amendments which he
plans to suggest at the appro-
pirate time, is fully in accord
with the provisions of the pro-
POSED new Organic Act for the
Virgin Islands, H.R. 2644. With
vigorous support of the Virgin
Islands Youth Council he is
presently setting the stage for
an all out attempt to secure
passage of H.R. 2644 during the
ife span of the present Con-
gress. King earnestly believes
hat passage of this proposal
will furnish the people of the
Virgin Islands with the tool
hey so badly need-and long
hould have had-to reorgan-
re the structure and operation
CT their government so that it
