instructions to withdraw sums OF
more than $1,000 to be charged,

which is the accepted term for
protection money.
The Rev. Dana Dawson, q
Methodist pastor in Metairie
Jefferson parish, told how he
organized a citizens league and
brought paddock suits gainst both
Clubs Beverly and Forest. AL
most Immediately the minister
was approached by one Pete Perez,
dice foreman at Club Forest, and
promised funds for a new Sunday
school building if the suit were
dropped. Perez subsequently made
contributions of $50 and $75
monthly to the church, even
though the paddock suit was pre-
sented, the minister said.
On one visit the dice foreman
was accompanied by the incred-
ible Shelf Clancy. who later,
the minister testified, actually
brought contributions to the
church which included not only
Clancy's personal draft, but others
from gambling houses, including
a check signed by Dandy Phil
KaStel.
In any event the citizens got
nowhere with their suit. Through
some rather astounding legal &C
tionS by the court of the district
in which the gambling clubs were
located, it had never got to trial.

Clubs Forest and Beverly but at

face was fiorid and he wore a

His attitude reeked of piousI
hypocrisy: Yes. he admitted, there
was gambling in Jefferson Parish
and it had gone on for hundreds
of years" But the real reasont
that King Clancy condoned gam
bling was not because of "ice" orI
anything crude like that, but
simply because the gambling
casinos provided work for hun
dreds of "underprivileged and old
people who could not get work any
place else"
Senator Tobey hardly could stay
in his seat as King Clancy told his
story. Staring at the hapless
sheriff, he thundered: why don't
you resign and get out and put
somebody in that can handle it

Isn't it surprising the number Of

for granted, until we can't get
them? This was brought home to
me just yesterday, when l tried to

used in making paint brushes,
which are imported largely from
China.
My dampened spirits were inn
mediately frightened when he told
me about the way PPG has de-
veloped the new Red Stripe line Of
paint brushes to meet this demand.
This new line of brushes COM
bines the scientific bristle Neoceta
with hog bristles in a rigidly
weighed formula. And once more
synthetics have come to the rescue
TO produce a brush with superior
qualities.
He told me the six requirements
Of a good paint brush, and l just
had to pass them along to you:
~ adequate paint carrying ca
pacity, ~ good spreading ability,
90 easy working quality, az
proper elasticity of the bristle, (5)
smooth application of paint film by
the brush, and (6) satisfactory
durability. Compared to hog bris-
ties on the above basis, Neoceta is
found to have super characteristics
in many respects.
Again we realize just how GU,
scientists are working to make our
lives more comfortable with syn
thotics, and to supply US with the
things we want when we need
them,

RADIO ADDRESS
on Increased Food Production
and Beef Control for St. Croix
by ROBERT L. HARMON

at has been my desire for some
to have this opportunity to discuss
a master plan for increased food
production in the Virgin Islands,
with specific reference to Saint
Croix, having in mind that the
surplus production might find a
ready waiting market in Saint
Thomas.
l do not believe that I need to
go into detail to tell you why we
need increase production, 0 do
| need to tell you the details of
how this plan was drafted. How
ever, | might say that the initial
plan Of this program was based on
facts obtained from farmers them
selves as well as other research
material. In drafting this program
certain goals were set up to be
reached over a period of years.
These goals were based on a popu
lation of 1906 people now living
on st. CrolX, having in mind that
there would be some surplus for
marketing in st. Thomas. These
goals have been listed as compar-
ed with the 1910 Census report.
The 1910 Census is the latest in
formation available showing a
breakdown of the numbers of ami
mails and acres Of crop on each
island. The first figure will repre-
sent the 1910 Census; the second
figure will represent the goal that
we hope to reach in the next five
or more years:
Chickens 4,479 10000, Cows,
milk 500 5000, Hogs, 800 $500
Goats 926 : 1000, Sheep sos : 1000,
Beef, cattle 5000 : 5000, Rabbit
o. 1000, Corn 10 acres-1 900 acres
Grain, sorghum 0 acres : 500 acres,
Sweet potato 40 acres 300, Tania
Sc acres : 200 acres, Vans % acres
200, Mixed vegetables SO acres :
l,500, Pasture 11,187 acres : 10000.
TO reach these goals will re-
quire the cooperation of both
small and large farmers.
Vegetable Production
There is a great need for in
creased production of vegetables
on st. CroiX. 1t is estimated that
nearly 500 of our foodstuff is
shipped into the Islands from the
mainland, Puerto Rico and ad-
Joining British islands, a large per
centage including canned a d
fresh vegetables. Farmers plant in
sufficient amounts of vegetables
Tor home consumption and for
marketing to substitute the small
income obtained from sugar lale.

over a period of five years. How
ever, a program for the increase
corn production must be accom-
panied by an insect control pro-
gram as we'll as other improved
practice program.
The establishment of a cornmeal
industry would be one of the
greatest forward movement to-
ward stimulating increase corn
production for food and helping
to make the Islands more self-suf-
ficient. This type of industry is
badly needed in the Islands. It
would take only a small amount
of capital to get started. This
could be made into one of the
most profitable industries in the
Islands. / have strongly recon-
mended that such industry
be established on ST. Croix as one
of the features Of this program.

Food Crop Production

Such crops as corn, sweet pota-
toes, tanya, yams, Soybeans grow
well in the Virgin Islands. How
ever hundreds Of tons of all these
items except soybeans are shipped
into the Islands for food conSualp-
ton from adjoining Islands The
Islands consumed thousands Of
tons Of cornmeal for food and feed.
100 per cent Of the meal is shipped
into the Islands from the Main
land. Meal when made into Fungi
as a dish make up one of the most
frequently used dishes in the
Islands.
During the last war meal was
almost unobtainable. Coarse
grounded, almost too coarse for
human consumption from the
British Isles found a ready wait
ing market in the Islands. In the
production goals a 1000 acres OF

The varieties of vegetables plant
ed on the average farm are too
few to make up a balanced diet
for the family or even to sell. How
ever, the farmer is not to be
blamed TO rthis situation. / am
happy to say that this situation is
gradually being corrected as a re-
suit of the present extension err
vice now being conducted by the
Agricultural Station. Before this
condition can fully be eliminated
there are several problems that
we must face in considering a pro-
gram of increased vegetable pro
ductlon. These might include the
lack of adequate farming machin-
cry, insect control, the lack of
proper planning of gardens-that
IS the planning of the garden for
successive harvesting, instead of
having everything coming in at
one time. Lastly we need a mar
ketlng surplus. We do not have
sufficient farm machinery on the
whole island to take care of the
needs of the farmers. Farmers de-
pend 1000 on the Virgin Islands
Company for blowing. This should
not be. There should be a separate
local industry, agency, or board
set up, given money and authority
to purchase at least four tractors
and necessary ploWs to be used by
farmers and farmers alone in adj
dition to the service rendered by
the Virgin Islands Corporation.
This should be done Immediately.
Until a program of this kind is put
into operation the problem of
farm machinery will always be
our major problem in helping to
make the Islands more ~self-sus-
tanning. I will not make any at
tempt right now to discuss market
ing until l have fully gone
through my discussions which
will give you a full appreciation
on the pros and cons of the need
for a market outside of the Virgin
Islands.
