However you must come to
see for yourselves and in this
connection I suggest that the
National Council hire a steam
boat to come to ST. Croix for
it's 9th Annual Meeting in
1858.
We have heard at this meet
ing many details and problems
but the st. Croix Landmanks
Leagues has only successes.
Perhaps in making this state
ment I have an island Psyche
logy best e~xemplified by the
story of Barbados in the first
World War, when England
declared war Barbados sent a
cable to the King Of England,
Proceed Barbados behind
you" Following then on what
/ have just said it gives me
great pleasure to read the fol
lowing article from the New
York Times as Of October IL,
1851:
WASHINGTON, Oct 70, 1851
The Danish Embassy an
nounced today that its Govern
ment would present to the
United States replicas Of the
original furnishing-some 200
pieces-taken from the BALI
room Of the Administration
Building at Christiansted, st.
'Croix, in the Virgin Islands,
under a 1917 treaty
The embassy in a note to.
the State Department, said the
gift would serve as a token Of
friendship,
the 150th anniversary Of the
establishment Of diplomatic
relations between the two
nations.
The furniture, including mir
rors, chandeliers lamps and
stools, was taken to Copen-
hagen in 1917 under the terms
of the treaty by which the
then Danish West Indies, now
the Virgin Isands, were trans
ferred to the United States.
The originals are now in the
Foreign Affairs Building in
Copenhagen.
And now in closing
should like to ask a question
of the National Council and.
particularly Of Mr.. Alexander

National Home Demonstration
Week, April 27-May 3, focuses the
attention of the people of the ma

making" says David S. Weaver,
director of the State College Ex-

have established themselves as
one of the finest ways to bring to
the attention of their members and
others the many advances being
made in homemaking, and under
standing of family relationships
and community development.
Everyone recognizes their in
fluence upon all of the people as
well as upon the citizens of the
future. While the principles of bet
ter family living that are applied
to such things as nutrition, cloth
mig, housing, recreation, and spirit
ual development are recognized,
another great influence may be Of

opportunity which mothers and

are strained by tensions probably
with no parallel in human history.

made a good crop one year, he
made a payment on an automobile,
and his wife wanted to learn to
drive, and he finally consented to
show her how, but her utter fail
ure to instantly grasp everything
mechanically about the car, that
he had learned in years of exper-
fence, had aroused his impatiencc,
and he had scolded her and she had
cried and said she would never ask
him again. And the poor fellow
sobbed when he told it to me, for
his conscience smote him nightly.
He said also that he had never
been very polite to her folks when
they came to visit them, feeling
perhaps that it was costing him
more than they could afford; now
he regretted this also because long
after they were married, his moth
err had been obliged to turn to him
for support and had made her
home with them. Yet his wife had
never complained and had cheer
fully borne with the old lady's aged
impatience. "She couldn't have
treated her own mother any bet
ter" he said, and she nursed her a
long time before the old lady final
ly died, and seemed to be the lone
soonest one long after.
Now" he said, "the children are
married and gone away. They have
about all they can do to take care
of their own families. 1t seems like
they don't want me with them, OF
maybe Just think l am in the
way, and when l go to see them l
m restless and disconnected.
When l go home l am worse off
still. A home isn't a home anymore
after a man has lived in it with a
good wife.
81 think I'll go crazy" he said.
Il try to think back and wonder
why l couldn't have been a little
m ore patient, little move
thoughtful | try to remember of
something good did for her, of
some little things to make her hap
Ply, and l can't recall anything to
be proud about. l try to find OK,
cuses that men are different, and
all of them are thoughtless and
women expect less and are not dis
appointed like men are. l tell N.Y.
self that it was not my fault-she
ought to have told me when she
wanted anything, or needed some
thi"g. But no matter how l try,
cart get over what / have missed
all through the years. and what I
have lost, and I have no happy
memories now for my old age, and
She is gone. 1t just seemed she
never wanted anything; she never
complained. l just think | would
have been happier if she had nag
ged me little.
Il owe everything to her. She
made all the sacrifices. She got up
