ALL POSSIBLE AID NEEDED

AZ AOOoADLL AL NEEDED
WHILE IT IS true that Point-Four is exclusively for
foreign peoples, and that therefore the people Of the Virgin
Islands, being American in Citizenship, cannot partake of the
advantages thereof, yet our people are concerned, and not
without justification, over conditions which beset us, and
which added funds well spent could easily cure. Our people
are fully aware that in this day the world is no longer divided
into sections, and the move is towards one world, in all ways
What we wonder is whether or not there could not be an ef
fort to help develop these islands to the point where they
could be more fully Self-supporting.
THERE are many services and projects which have been
withheld, & which would have contributed to the economic &
social improvement of these places. After the transfer, there
was floundering, and then is when things seemed to slip with
out brakes. Thousands left these shores seeking EMPLOYMENT
on the mainland, and both land and enterprises remained dor
mant and idle. The Experiment Station was taken from the
Department of Agriculture and placed under Interior, and on
the whole things just seemed to stop. Then came the ten
million dollar public works project. With it came dreams that
employment could be had; that many of our public buildings
could at last be made adequate. But that, too, seemed to move
slowly, and as Of this writing there is not much to point to.
BECAUSE LOCAL business may not be in a position
to undertake many projects, much has to be left to the gov
eminent, which is really in a better position to plan and help
carry out overall strategy. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that
people locally think in terms OF such programs as P~oint-Four,
and look with longing eyes to undeveloped areas to be de-
yeloped with American money. We venture to say that there
is rather complete understanding Of what that program stands
for, but in an effort to secure all the aid possible land it is
soreIy needed, local leaders are fully justified in probing any
and all sources. A very small fraction of Point -Four would go
a very long way in shaking us out Of our economic doldrums.
SOMETHING must be done, and we believe that if al
group of sympathetic Congressman would see and realize,
the necessary projects to push these islands on the road to
economic recovery once and for all would be put in motion.

Dorothy
Dix
Impending Visits
Of Family Should
Be Announced

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Why
is it that when children are grown
and married they consider them
selves guests to come unan-
nounced at least once a week to
sit at fathers table and enjoy
mothers cooking? Though they
complain of the high cost of liv-
ing they never bring any food
with them. Mother would enjoy
them much more if they wouldn't
come quite so often, but how can
it be put to them without hurt
ing some ones feelings? am very
happy that they enjoy coming
home, but also believe it can be
overdone, especially when mother
still has several at home to feed.
CARRIE.
AnSwer-Your children are pay
ing you the highest compliment
in their power. The usual COM
plant about married children is
that they don't come home often
enough! Yours still have the same
feeling for home that they had
before marriage. They like to
come back to mother and dad;
they still think MONS cooking the
best. Old home ties are so strong
the youngsters even forget t. call
and announce an impending visit!
You should ask for at least a
little warning, especially if your
children are coming for a meal.
With all the shortages confront
ing us today, it is easy to explain
that mealtime is not a haphazard
affair, but the result of careful
planning, and unexpected guests
may not always be adequately fed.
Better still, establish a regular
visiting day for your young mar
ried folk, then all your planning
can be aimed at one meal. Such
solutions may ease the tension on
your pocketbook and nerves. but
, you must consider carefully
whether they will offset the loss
of family spirit that will come
from curbing your children's i'm
pulsive calls.
DEAR MISS DIX: I am a COL
lege freshman of 18 and find I
am in love with a joker. I be-
1ieve he feels the same way do,
but we can never get into a serious
conversation. I never can tell
whether he is joking or not. There
are many things I would like to
discuss with him, but don't know
how to approach him.. M. r.
AnSwer-One of the common
traits of youth is to avoid dis
cuSSion of serious things by COW
ering the situation with a joke
This apparently is your friends
attitude, and an annoying one it
can be. Perhaps he is deliberate
ly turning from serious talks with
you for fear they will lead to
commitments on his part. If he
feels you are matrimonially in
clined. for instance, a joke pro-
vides the quickest way to end any
attempts on your part to carry a
conversation along such lines.
Don't rush things with him. Re-
turn joke for joke, and let him
make the first attempt at serious
discussion.

the story is quickly offset by the de-

Administration cohorts can but

propriety involved, or the necessity
of the Chief Executive interfering
with his duly appointed law enforce
ment officials.
True, the bar-owner is considered
fine law-abiding citizen, but small
er fry in the bar-keep fraternity who
have had to cope with violations, al

cepted channels are ''put-out" with
the course of events in this case.
1t is now matter of conjecture
as to the future efficiency of IL
quor inspecting force laboring under
such a handicap. Liquor inspectors
are probably about now giving their
'self-respect" a close scrutiny. This
group is already under
considerable criticism around the
state presumably because of their APP
athetical attitude toward violators.
Col. Hoyle's report to the city coun-
ell concerning selling of liquor to
minors in Great Falls seems to con-
firm recurring reports coming to this
office.

Leading the 1850 production by
about 50 million, without the addi-
tional 81 to 81 u million that will be
paid for 1851 sugar beet bonuses
and Federal payments, the crops pro-
duced on the 469, 100 acres under cul-
tivation averaged $42.60 an acre.
With the additional factory and Fed
eral payments, the average per-acre
return is expected to be about $45.50.
CROP YIELD UP IN 1851
The average yield per acre of all
major crops except beans was high
er in 1851 than in 1850. The late
spring and early fall frosts were
largely responsible for the reduced
production of beans, which is a prin-
cipal cash crop on the Riverton and
Shoshone Projects in Wyoming.
Grains, produced on SO per cent
of the net area in cultivation, ac-
counted for SO per cent of the total
gross value of all crops. Sugar beets,
using only about 5 y per cent of the
area under cultivation, made up 10 |
per cent of the total gross value. |
Alfalfa hay was the third crop in
,otal value, accounting for II per
cent of the gross returns. This crop
Used more than 10 per cent of the
