gress authorized the hospital
construction project, among
other public works improve
ments, back it 1914. We find
that the 81st and 82nd Con-
gress appropriated the funds
for the program in 1850 and in
1851. These are surely major
links in our bond Of fellow
ship.
Within this chain CLEAN the
skill and training Of our fine
army Of doctors, nurses, and
facilitating personnel through
out the Islands, whose labors
under antiquated and trying
conditions demanded in a
clear voice the commensurate
facilities which we are now
about to provide.
Again we see among the
links of cooperative effort that
element Of support which the
Legislature Of the Virgin Is
lands continues to make avail
able to the Administration in
the dispatch Of the public
works program. .
This measure Of goodwill,
my friends, struck on the
forge Of self-less interest, and
which is accomplishing 50
much on our behalf, can move
much on our behalf, can move
greater mountains. Late last

ceremony for the new Municipal Hospital at Chris
tiansted. ST. Croix. on May A. 1852.

1t is about six month ago
that ground was officially
broken at this site in the pro-
cess Of ushering in a happier
epoch Of improved hospital
care. And yet it seems as
though yesterday that we ga
thered at this very spot to wit
ness that first step in the
constructing of a modern 60
bed general hospital for this
lovely city Of Christiansted.
Even then we had already
gained many a long and diff
cult mile in our advance to-
ward better living conditions
for all our people.
Today we return with
hearts laden with gratitude,
and with a warming conscious
ness, in tribute to the achieve
ments toward our goal
wrought by past and present
superiorS in government in the
Islands and particularly on
the mainland For much spade
work has been done over
many years By various admin
istrations, and BY our friends
in Washington, which has pro-
duced a close merging, a firm
composite, Of effort and OBJ
jects in a steadily rising
structure.
But even in its regular pat
tern are we forcibly attracted
by the prominence Of the late
Governor Charles HarWood.
For where his predecessors
cleared the ground, he dug
deep and struck bedrock. He
secured a proper footing and
made fast the hoist-chain.

ment, this chain Of goodwill,

electric Cenii Govern Heat
No Matter What Fuel Used

WHEN and how much coal 70
w stoke? That was Grandpa's
problem back in the good old
days when a man needed sixth
sense to keep the temperature fairly
even. Today, no matter what fuel
is used, electrical genii will see to It
that an even heat is maintained.
Unknown to many householders
is the fact that special electrical
wiring must be provided for auto
matte heat control and that an In
dividual branch circuit is needed
for the furnace alone. Such cir
cult will insure against loss Of heat
through short circuits or overloads
on other electrical equipment.
If you're expecting to build new
home or to install a new heating
system in your present home, it's
good sense TO plan the furnace wir-
ing for top performance.

to buy . farm near Paris" says
Jean.
Even If he didn't work, Jean
Pierre is well fixed for money,
with his father the former own
er Of the Maison Blancs in Paris
and this country. Els father
now lives in New York and was
the first to call him when Jeans
brother and his wife named
their first child Maria. He was
very touched when he, told me
OF this.
I've seen Jean quite a lot with
Maria's younger sister, Adita,
who looks q great deal like her.
When the nurse he brought
from Paris for daughter Maria
Christine got married in New
York. Adita took over and she
went with the little girl to Santa
Domingo to meet her grand
mother for the first time. Jean
Pierre has never met her. ThatIl
be sad meeting when it hap
pens.
In case you've forgotten,
Aumont was brought to Holly
wood originally by L. B. Mayer
in 1888. L. B. was then on q
European talent-buying binge.
And Jean appeared in Flight
Into Darkness" Dark Eyes"
and Assignment in Brittany"
He could have stayed here when
the Germans marched into
France, but he chose to enlist
with the Free French forces.
He Wrote a Play
! After the marriage with
Maria. they made pictures to-
gether here and in France.
Then he got the play-writing
bug and how he got started is
cute. II always dreamed of
playing 'Liiiom' on the stage.
I did q scene from the play
for my test at Metro. One
day I read in q French paper
that 'Liliom' was to be done
in France, so I was very sad.
But why don't I write some
thing like this, I said to myself.
So I wrote something quite diff
ferent-'The Emperor Of China,
about q man who lies all the
time. Philip Barry adapted it
for Broadway under the title,
My Name Is Aquilon.' asked
Philip several times why he
calls it that, but he just said.
'Ah, ah. ah.' We played it so
times and I thought it was a
flop, but it gave Lilli Palmer
a great career. From my play
she went into Cleopatra
Aumont says that he finds
Hollywood more prosperous and
pictures better than when he
was here last "and they're not
so worried this time about tele-
vision" That's because Holly
wood can't lick 'em, so it's going
to join 'em.

Jean has to see Noel Coward,

the Paris stage.
He won't sign any contracts
here-"I think those long-term
contracts are wonderful when

All Is Happy
With Logon's
New Musical
By Mark Boron
NEW YORK.

The new musical comedy.
wish You Were Here" arrived
at the Imperial Theater on
Broadway last week. 1t COM
bined an excellent musical
comedy with . tabloid water
show of high divers and expert
swimmers.
Authors Arthur Kober and
Joshua Logan have based this
musical upon the straight COM
edy hit. Having Wonderful
Time" which Kober wrote in
1887. Now composer Harold
Rome has added some exhil-
arating songs to the story and
1t makes for Q happy evening in
the theater, q show especially
ftted for summer audiences.
Along with its light comedy and
sentimental summer romances,
the musical features an actual,
transparent swimming pool on
stage through which the thea
ter audience can see every
move Of the swimmers and
divers. .....
The story Of "Wish You Were
Here" Is q straightforward,
humorous picture of . summer
camp which Is patronized
mostly by young girls from
Brooklyn, the Bronx and other
sections Of New York City who
are at the ages where they are
on the lookout for husbands.
And this Camp Karefree po-
litely takes care Of these quests

ing room . group Of personable
young college boys. Once freed
Of their chores In the dining
room, the boys are expected to
change to formal clothes or
swimming suits and then mix
and mingle" with the feminine
guests.
One Of the guests arriving at
the camp Is . lovely young
singer. Terry Stern. who 10 ac-
companied by her flance. an
older man, who was selected
for her by her mother. Once
she arrives among the young
people Of her own age at the
camp, she breaks her engage
ment and finds q young man Of
her own choice.
Patricia Marand, Jack Cas-
sidy, Shelia Bond and Sidney
Armus head q splendid cast Of
players, most Of whom were
comparatively unknown on
Broadway. Rome has helped
nightly with his musical score
which includes such gay songs
as "Shoping Around" Where
Did the Night Coz" and Mix
and Mingle."

take her and her 16 pieces Of

tete-a-tete-ing the handsome
blond Frenchman in the last
weeks of his working sojourn
here, and when he took off for
France for the opening of his
play in Paris, there was general
wailing from the women.
But I am not interested in
any one" Jean Pierre assured
me before he left. 1T is out
of the question" He doesn't
talk too much about Maria,
but the memory of their happy
life in Paris and her tragic
death while taking a bath is
still very much with him, but
he's too intelligent to be a her

PIMA thereupon got in the

startled women:

A few days later. Stern shot

Guarnerius violin. One of the
crewmen accidentally bumped
the famed musician. When the
next scene came up, Stern sub
stituted q cheap breakaway
fiddle and made sure he and
the crewman bumped again.
Stern shouted at the apologetic
crewman:
IF you are trying to break
this priceless violin, why don't
you do it right? Then Stern
smashed the violin on the floor
and simulated a first-class ar
tistic temper tantrum before
finally letting everybody in on
the joke.
When the picture wound up
the other day. the usual set
party took place. AS the party
got going, PIMA bebopped a
