Director Appeals
For Volunteers

Adolph Gereau, Director Of
Civil Defense, today appealed
to citizens Of ST. Thomas, ST.
John and st. Croix to volun-
teer for service in some one
Of the branches of Civil De-
Tense. Mr.. Gereau called at
tention to the fact that Civil
Defense IS everybody's bust
ness, and while it is primarily
organized for minimizing eff
fects Of hostile attacks on the
civilian population, it is also
intended to serve in natural
disasters Of all kinds because
Of the fact that its membership
is made up Of trained volun-
teers who may be pressed into
service in case hurricanes,
fires, earthquakes or any other
disaster should strike the
Islands. .
It is the most comprehen-
sive program Of a civic nature

tions on television. AS a matter
of fact, the conventions and polit-
ical parties are not provided for
by the Constitution and federal
elections laws supervise them
only to extent of checking money
spent Each party makes its own
convention rules. In electing dele
gates, for instance, the Democrat
ic party gives each state two
votes for each of its senators and
representatives and a bonus of
four votes if the state went Dem
ocratic in 1948. At the Democratic
convention there will be more
delegates than votes.
The Republicans give four votes
to each state, plus six if the state
went Republican in 1948, plus one
vote for each congressional dis
trict casting 1000 COP votes in
l948, and a bonus of one more for
10000 Republican votes. There
are no half-vote delegates. So Re-
publicans get 1,206 votes with 604
necessary for nomination.

Young Wildliis
Make Dangerous
Illegal PIaynlaies

Persons who "adopt" seeming
ly helpless young wild game in
vite injury later, according to
Robert Davis, extension special
;st in wi1d1ife conservation at
Ohio State University
Davis says most wild animals
become dangerous when they
mature. People have been gored
to death by buck deer" Davis
says. "Hooves of both buck and
doe are razor sharp. Even a
playful gesture can result in "a
serious cut"
The specialist reminded per-
sons who do not fear injury that
there is another reason for not
kidnapping young wildlife. 1t is
illegal. Penalty is a maximum Of
5000 for each offense.
Although many realize the
danger and penalty "They SIM
ply can not resist soft eyes and
seeming helplessness and friend
illness of wild baby animals"
Davis says.
Taking deer as an example
again, he points out that fawns
really are not helpless or friend
ly. They. have. no odor. They do
have a protective coloring, They
do not attract predatory animals.
Their instinct is to stay hidden
do anything but move.
The human who finds a fawn
probably has blundereds into
hiding place. The fawn's mother
probably is standing watch near
by. She stays away from the
fawn so her odor will not at
tract predators.
When people do kidnap wild
young, they face the certainty of
having to turn them loose soon
er or later. The animal will be-
come dangerous or the law will
enforce the animals freedom.
Then the young animal is at
the mercy of nature. It has not
been taught by its natural moth
er and probably will die or be
killed.
The procedure that is most hu-
name, safe and the only one that
is legal is to leave wild animals
free.

fer all the resistance of which it
was capable.
Today the Union Shop princi-
pie is no longer a FrankenStein,
Jr., as I termed it back in 1947.
1t has grown up, is fully adult
and prepared to play havoc with
industrial production wherever
there is industry-wide bargain
ing.
Now, before we look at the
problem more closely, let's stop
to define our terms. Some people
confuse in their minds a Union
Shop" with a "Unionized Shop"
There is all the difference in the
world between the two.
A Unionized Shop is one in
which a majority of workers
within a company have Voluntar-
lily banded together, through the
medium of union, representa-
tive of their occupation, for the
purpose of mutual benefit, aid
and protection. A Unionized Shop
is in every way wholesome and
American, representing as it does
the sacred right of workers to
have union and belong to it, if
they want to.
A Union Shop is, on the other
hand, nothing more than a clause
within a union contract with
management, whereby each and
every employee is compelled to
join the union, whether or not he
happens to believe in unionism,
whether or not he likes the par
ticular union involved, and
whether or not he happens to ad-
mire its leaders, some of whom
may be radicals, racketeers or
downright incompetents. In short,
the Union Shop is diametrically
opposite to the principle of the
UnioniZed Shop, because it is an
act of compulsion directed against
a minority. The Union Shop is in
every way unWholesome and un-
American because it disregards
the right of workers to stay out
of a union if they don't like it
and want to have no part of it.

THE HOPE OF THE CHURCH

The hope of the Church is the
coming of the Lord Jesus Christ
to this earth. This truth is men
toned many times in the Bible.
In the Book of l TheSSalonians, a
book composed of five chapters,
the second coming is mentioned
seven times. We shall examine
these verses as they appear in
| Thessalonian.
/. 1t was the hope of the Church
at TheSsalonica. 1:3 Remember
ing without ceasing your work
of faith, and labour of love and
patience of hope in our Lord
Jesus Christ. >" The patience of
hope here is the second coming of
Christ.
II. The Church at Thessalonica
was waiting for it. ITO And to
wait for his Son from heaven, :"
You will note that they were not
waiting for death, or conversion,
or destruction of Jerusalem, but
they were waiting for His Son
from heaven. This is a reference
to Christ.
III Paul Ionged for the second
coming of Christ because he
wanted to present his converts to
Christ and receive a soul winners
crown. | ThesS. 2:19 For what is
our hope, or joy or crown of re-
| IOicing? Are not even ye in the
presence of our Lord Jesus Christ
at his coming? Paul's real joy was
his converts that had been won
out of heathenism through his
ministry. He longed for the day
when he could present them as
body as trophies of Gods grace to
The Lord Jesus himself.
The story is told of a Prin-
cess who sold her jewels to re-
deem some women in a heather
land. Later in the providence of
God she was privileged to visit
that land and as she saw these
women who had been won to the
Lord, the tears came down her
face and she cried MY diamonds!
My Diamonds! God has taken my
jewels and given them back to
me a hundred fold"
What a JOY it will be for those
who will be able to present souls
to Christ at his coming, souls
that We have won to Him.
". The next reference is found
in |. Thess. 3s13. ITO the end he
may stablish your hearts unblam-
able in holiness before God even
our Father at the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ with all his
saints" Here we are Informed
that the second coming of Christ
will complete our holiness. The
reason we long for His coming is
because at that time we will be
perfectly holy. Children of God
come short of the glory of God in
this life but when he comes we
will be unblameable in holiness.
V. The other reference in this
book to the second coming are
found in chapter 4:13-18 and
chapter 5:1-6 and chapter VS.. %.
Here we are told His coming
will be personal, sudden, the
dead will be raised, the living be-
levers will be translated and we
shall be forever with the Lord.
In view of that great day ii
behoves US to be prepared. Th'
