Attendance records at the Ge-
auga maple festival broke all
records this year according to
the state police count of automo-
biles but many thousands of

Syrup sales dropped from last
year to about $1,000 according

mand was for smaller packages

tainer and the festival booth

urday.

where he was born So years
ago. This farm of 180 acres has
been in the same family four
generations, coming from the
Connecticut Land Co.
Post and his wife operate the
farm and sugar bush. He hung
900 buckets this year and made
over 200 gallons of syrup. He
also has many dairy cows.
Asked by Senator Bricker if
Post had anything to say after
one sentence speech.
"I've been trying for a long
receiving the cup. Post made a
time and finally made it."
Award for the highest point
rating in the syrup tests was
presented to N. G. Patterson of
Chester by Arthur B. Carlson.

tions were as follows:

Articulation troubles bother

speech defects that probably
would be corrected with speech
improvement work in the class
rooms.
In the group with hearing
losses the survey reported that
"a should definitely be taught
lip reading, 81 are potential lip
readers and IL would be helped
by hearing aids. The survey
recommended that all the chill

be given medical examinations
to determine if treatment might
be given, and recommended a
speech and hearing program for
the county.

Editor The St. Croix Avis,

Editor The st. Croix Avis,
Dear Sir:
In a batch Of mail of recent
arrival / received a copy of
your enterprising newspaper,
dated last August 18th, bear
ing an editorial under caption:
stick TO THE FACTS"
and in which you attempt, per
haps tenderly, to rap my
knuckles for having stated
'that the Virgin Islands press
has expended time beyond
computation writing critically
and often CONTEMPTUOUS-
LY of mainland Virgin Island
ers.' "Such a statement" you
argue, IF allowed to go un-
noticed would tend to create
among our people on the main
land the idea that they are
held in contempt by their
brothers at home, and that
t h e press is responsible"
"This," you declare, produces
no good whatever and makes
one think less Of what was
contained elsewhere in the
release"
It is my feeling, Mr.. Editor,
that such a unique effort to
discredit the entire text of my
release because Of a single
statement that is distasteful to
you indicates a readiness to
place your own opinion above
the combined opinion of your
readers and non-readers, and
reveals a deep tinge of insin-
cerity. Yet, perhaps ! should
attribute your attitude in this
respect to any one Of the fol
lowing possible reasons: Cd
that you must regard The ST.
Croix Avis as comprising the
Virgin Islands press; (2) that
newspapers circulated in the
Virgin Islands areSof a differ
ent political content to those

WI EDITO

that reach the mainland; (3) or
that you do not bother to read
contemporary Virgin Islands
newspapers. Likely the latter
reason is the answer, since it
has been recognized for a
long time that Virgin Islands
editors, like Virgin Islands po-
ticians, are the most poorly
informed people on Virgin Is
lands affairs to be en-
countered.
Perhaps you will permit me
to allay your fears that my
statement, as it relates to the
Virgin Islands press, would
tend to create among our peo-
pie on the mainland the idea
that they are held in contempt
by their brothers at home, and
that the press is responsible"
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Editor,
it is common knowledge that
the political views Of Virgin
Islanders here and in the is
lands are seldom reflected in
the columns of Virgin Islands
newspapers, and which, per-
haps, is largely responsible for
their pitifully limited circula-
tons. The volume Of news
that comes from the islands is
not contained in the local
newspapers but in letters, Or
from related bureaus in Wash
ington, Dc, SO that mainland
Virgin Islanders command a
round-the-clock account o f
what affects their homeland
in the Caribbean, and do not
rely upon the scattered views
of a half-dozen editors repre-
senting as many divergent
interests. Perhaps unknown to,
YOU, Sir, there exists what is
tantamount to a sublime I'M
Ierstanding betw the
people IN the islands and their
mainland kinfolk-the people
whose views, as stated before

Organic Act Of the Virgin Is
lands, the people voted 1880
to 1876 AGAINST an elective
governor, yet, the politicians
and newspapers are clamor-
ing for the right to elect the
governor. The people voted 1895
to 461 AGAINST a single legis-
lature for the three islands, yet,
the politicians and editors are de-
handing one such body. They
voted 1,035 to 427 AGAINST a
single treasury, yet, the politi-
clans and editors are advocating
one such department. The people
envision no advantage to them
selves in any of the aforemen-
toned proposed changes in their
Organic Act, but the politicians
and editors contend that such
changes would result in substan-
tial savings for the people, while
at the same time seeking LARGE
SALARY GRABS that could be
cleverly INCREASED to guaran-
tee each incumbent FIVE THOUS
AND OR MORE DOLLARS
annually. Also, it seems to be the
consensus of opinion in the is
lands that every effort should be
made to encourage mainland and
other Virgin Islanders, rather
than strangers, to return to their
respective homes and apply their
experience and savings toward
improving the islands economy
and, eventually, making them
self-supporting. But the politi-
clans, for purely selfish reasons,
are opposed to any plan that
would facilitate repatriation of a
large number Of their native
Brothers" and which accounts
for their stubborn refusal to con-
slider mainland leaders recon-
nendations to amend the resi-
dence requirement clause to con-
form with similar provisions in
the United States, especially New
York, where natives from the is
lands arrive at pleasure and can,
almost Immediately, avail t o
themselves such privileges and
BENEFITS to which only main
land citizens are entitled.
Other than the word Of Virgin
Islands politicians there is no
reliable indicia to suggest that
the people may have changed
their views since November, 1913,
nor is it known if some enter
prising Virgin Islands editor ever
bothered to poll the people on so
important matter. However, testi-
monies submitted to the Subcom-
mittee On Territories And Insular
Possessions last January substan-
TALLY support the wishes as ex-
pressed in referendum more than
three years ago.

anachorism for which MAIN

its editorial insolence long
enough and intend to retaliate
IN full measure.

that a majority OF the people
