!. Governor de Castro Aires Inability for

ment accorded me is not too diff
ferent from that to which other
Governors have been subjected
from time to time. Perhaps, then,
the situation which has developed
is partly the fault of the system
OF government under which we
operate. A little analysis right
here OF our political system should
give us a background for the point
| am making.
Through the years since the
adoption Of the Organic Act,
much important legislation has
been enacted by the two NUM-
cipal councils and the legisla-
tive assembly of the islands.
Unfortunately, however, the
tWo-party system Of political
organization has not been de-
veloped in the islands. This has
resulted in the lack of that ba-
lancing influence which is es-
sential to maintain the affec-
tive legislative processes Of a
democratic ~law-making body.
The absence of a clearly de-
fined and organized political
opposition. within the legisla-
tive halls of our islands is now
a distinct deterrent to the
maintenance of a sound legisla
tive process. Indeed, the lack
of the two-party system in our
political organization here is.
having another and even more
serious effect. Since there is
no organized opposition within
the legislatures, such as the ma
ticnal Democratic and Republi
can parties, each party bring
ing to the legislature discus
sions of a party program based
on a party platform, there has
grown up among the members
Of the legislature another type

Croix, and St. john
This evening I am going to
break the extended silence
which I have purposely main
tanned during the past sixty
days on issues which have
been exhaustively aired dur
the recent session of the Le-
gislative Assembly. My silence
has not been due to a lack of
concern over the inability of
the legislative and executive
branches of the government to
agree on basic needed legisla-
ton, but rather to my strong
personal belief that in an at
mosphere charged with ten
sion it is better to meet unfair
criticism with silence rather
than with savage retort.
In making the decision, now
that the Leg islative Assembly
has adjourned, to give you the
other side of some Of the issues
I have been guided by the prin
ciple, which I recently enun-
ciated in a United Nations Day
address, that misunderstanding
and hostility must weaken when
exposed to the searching beam of
fact-finding and of truth.
Let me begin by saying that 1

decency and self-respect which,

ILLUSTRATED DEFINITION

An American professor met three
staid members of the Academic
Franchise in Paris and asked for
their definition of savoir-faire to
include in his modern dictionary.
"Eet is not deefeecult," one said.
Eef 1 go home and find my wife
kissing another man and / teep
my hat to them and say: Excuse
me- that is savior-faire."
"Not quite" said the second.
"Eef I go home and find my wife
kissing another man and l teep
my hat and say: Excuse me. Con-
tinue,' that is savior-faire.
''No-not quite" rumbled the
third, lingering his beard. "Eef !
go home and find my wife kissing
another man and teep my hat and
say: Excuse me. Continue, and
he can continue-he has savior
faire."

Funny Stuff?

The chairman of the town forum
was also the bank president, rich
est citizen, and head of the board
of education-in short, the most
important gent in the county. He
never said in one word what could
be expressed in So
His expression was what he liked
to think benign but inscrutable. His
introduction of the speaker of the
evening never consumed less than
a half-hour.
After the chairman's usual mon
umental flow of platitudes, over
statement, and pomposity, a speak
er once faced her audience with a
deprecating grin and began. Good

That the truth about God and man,
as stated in the Bible, is healing

freed of every kind of discord-
will be emphasized in the Sunday

Truth"
The Golden Text is from Isaiah:
''We have a strong city: salvation
will God appoint for walls and bull
warks. Open we the gates that
the righteous nation which keepeth
the truth may enter in" (26: and p.
Among the selections from the
Bible king James version) to be
read, is the following: "In the be-
ginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was
God. All things were made by Him;
and without him was not anything
made that was made" John l: l
and 81.
Readings from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures, %
by Mary Baker Eddy, will include
these statements: Everything good
or worthy, God made, Whatever
is valueless or baneful, He did not
make, hence its unreality" (525:
20-22).

The town didn't know exactly

he hadn't changed some while he
was gone. Maybe he'd grown out

Jim puffed on his pipe. The town
was like Old Sam, a little afraid
OF what was to come. And it was
like billiard too. Proud and happy
that Bob had brought distinction on
himself. No, they did not know the
way to meet him. But everybody
was out there, ready to have a
try at it.
Jim shock his head slightly.
Plenty of times he had pulled Bob
off that same. water tank there.

to the station and helped him

when the news about Bob came.
He stood up. He guessed he would
join the crowd ready to meet Bob
too.
The time dragged by, and final

gathered quickly around the train.
Then down the steps of the car

: only slightly by the wind all
day, was now being stirred by feet
many feet. From his position in
side the station Jim Hawkins
watched the people gathering near
the tracks where the Special from
Geyser City came in.
Watching their faces, he saw
awe and pride and a little bit OF
embarrassment, as if there were
many people who didn't know ex-
actly how to act. Jim opened the
station door and went out in the
bright sunlight. He paused for just
a second as all the faces turned
toward him.

into the sun. ''Sure sorry. The

A disappointed sigh came from
the crowd, and Jim moved back
into the station. AS he sat down in
his chair, he noticed that no one
had left, despite his announce
ment. They had moved little
from out of the sun into the shade
of the station. A few of the boys
had walked down the tracks to lie
in the GOODNESS under the water
tank. Mayor Clagnor and his party
had moved inside the cool interior
of the mayors shiny, decorated
car. But no one had left.
