The Custord Apple

Dept, Of Heslth. ST. Thomas. v. /.
During a short stop along
the highway ! found myself
staring intently at a tree that
was loaded with fruit. M in
terest was held because the
color of the fruit was of such
e hue that a casual glance
would not have resulted III i'm
mediate recognition. OF
course, this is partly due to an
unframed eye in botany.
Some fruits, like the custard
appleo come into season only
once during the year. If you
will look about as you 90
along the country roads, IN
yeards, and at the market
square, you will see the Gus
tard apple.
This fruit is not as plentiful
at our market square as it
should be, but the custard
apple is not the least among
our home grown foods. Unfor-
tunately, we do not herald the
custard apple season with the
same delighted anticipation as
that given to the mango, avo-
cado or he sugar apple. posi-
ply we have not taken time to
appraise this seasonal food.
The custard apple compares
favorably with the American
apple in carbohydrate content.
In this food material it stands
about midway between the
orange and the banana. So we
do not have to count our ca
tories when we eat it. The Gus
tard apple has a protein
content that rivals the potato,
tannia, and similar starchy
vegetables. This is unusual for
a fruit. AS a fresh food, the
custard apple has its vitamin
G values. In this nutrient it
ranks with the tomato. Futher
more when you have a desire
for something sweet, try the
custard apple. It provides SUI
gar that is satisfying. This ma
tural sugar has no harmful
effects on oral hygiene, So,
during this season, let US give
the custard apple its rightfuI
place in everyday eating.

PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE ANNOUNCES HONOR ROLL
TIE PROFESSIONAL League of Virgin islanders has
announced the list Of honorees for this year. 1t is at this time
that attention is naturally focused on this organization and
the work it is doing in calling attention to outstanding con
tibutions made by Virgin Islanders and others working in the
interest Of these Islands. The League, though but a few years
old, has already launched on a course removed from the re-
gular and customary ones. This organization of young Virgin
Islanders seeks to perpetuate the cultural side Of life, and to
present the most favorable side Of this life to the rest Of the
world.
EVER SINCE its beginning the League has spared no.
pains in presenting a program which has attracted wide at
tention, and which leaves the thousands who see.it refreshed
and inspired, yet with a touch Of nostaga.At these programs
the music ranges from great choirs under the direction Of such
outstanding musicians as Hugo Bornn to the qladrlle per
formed by a group Of natives. Then there is a fashion show
with all the trimmings.
sui THE LEAGUE does more. 1t endeavors to outline
a program divorced from any Of the small partisan problems
which are forever besettng other groups, and at the same.
time b~ecloudng real issues. Organizations such as the Pro-
fessional League can make significant contributions to the
welfare Of these islands, and to Virgin islanders on the main
land as we'll
THE WORK OF the League has been noted on more
than one occasion BY THE AVIS for little that IS worthwhile

AVIS under the heading Good Job Professional League
said:
TN H DAY and time when so-caned politics is do
minating the scene, issues are beclouded, and individuals and
organizations seek their own selfish interests, it IS indeed re-
freshing and equally inspiring 70 know that there IS an
organization the purpose Of which is the promotion OF the
cultural life Of these Islands. It is for this reason that the
announcement Of the Professional Leagues Honor Roll will
become an event to which all look forward

York is engaged in a most sig
nificant task. AT least once
yearly the League puts on 4
Carnival, a truly colorful ex-
travaganza highIighting all
phases Of the cultural life Of
the Islands. In the 1850 Carni-
val the audiense heard young
Virgin Islanders sing calypso
and Handel, Jaw the quadriIle
performed. and generally en-
joyed a panoramic view Of
local culture. But the Carnival
does more. It affords an excel
lent opportunity for the pre-
sentation Of outstanding
talent.
THROUGH the years the
American public has known Of
the Virgin Islands. For the
most part the Islands were
distant places where snow.
never fell, and skyscrapers
could not be found. But that
was about the limit Of ac-
quaintance with Island life.
Naturally, absent any positive
approach by Islanders, the
American public would do no.
more than accept, for what
ever it was worth, any con-
structive phase Of Island life.
The Professional League is
facing this situation admir-
ably, and in presenting the
cultural life Of the Island to
the American public, IS help
ing to win unrestricted respect
and admiration for everything
the Islands represent.
THERE can be no doubt
whatever but that calling at
tention to significant contribu-
tons Of citizens and groups
each year will tend TO enhance
he respect and admiration for
those who work for the vel
fare Of the Islands. AII should

More In Fight Against Reds
Australia, New Zealand And US. Seek To Build One
More Fortress; All Fronts Stiffen Up

The foreign ministers of Aus
tralia, New Zealand and the Unit
ed States have bid goodbye to
Honolulu after what was describ-
ed as highly successful meeting
to implement the tripartite secur-
ity treaty signed in San Francisco
last September as another weapon
in the free worlds defense against
communist aggression.
The meetings main purpose was
to set up political and military
groups to plan the joint defense
of the three nations in case of an
aggression. In an extemporaneous
talk after the meeting, U. S. Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson la
mented the need for military
preparation but added: "If mill
tary force is going to be used, then
we also are going to be in posi-
ton where we can stand up like
men and not have to tremble and
shrink when those who have mill
tary power rattle the sabre in their
arguments with U.S."
Communist reaction as express
ed by Moscow's Pravda, was to
brand it "a new step on the road
to the creation of an aggressive
Pacific Bloc" Izvestia, another
Moscow Communist organ, said
difficulties will arise because of
"the growing national liberation
movement in the Asian countries
and also because of the inter-
imperialistic contradictions in the
Pacific and particularly the contra
dictions between the United States
and Great Britain"

His Excellency Archbishop Am

gress participants, "The reality is
thiS-that almost two million Ca

admitted into our schools but can
not by reason of the lack of teach
ers and schools"
He compared the number of par

elementary Schools-9,000,
Need Lay Teachers
Sister Nj. Patrick of Marygrove
College called for maintaining a
ratio of one lay teacher to four re-
Iigious in each Catholic school.
This, she explained, would free
Sisters to staff new schools. Sister
Patrick cited her own community,
SiSters-Servants of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, which has about
1000 Sisters in parochial schools,
with lay teachers making up about
Ia per cent of the staffs. Under
the plan, she said, $50 Sisters
would be released for other
schools.

Class War Is
Alien To True
Church Goals
Objectives Are To Compose
And Solve Differences:
Says Sovereign Pontiff

CASTELGANDOLFO - Radio
NC)-In dealing with the labor
problem, the objective of the
Church is "the overcoming and
composing of social differences. ("
not class struggle.
This was made clear by His Hol-
mess Pope Plus XII in an address
to Italian chaplains assigned to
look after the spiritual needs of
Italian emigrants to various Euro
pean countries.
Tell your Catholic people" the
Pope said ~that the Church has
always had, and will always have
maternal concern for the workers.
snd that her action extends to all
classes and all conditions"
The Pope then pointed out that.
at least in those countries where
thu chaplains and me emigrsntS
will go, 'the labor question has
long passed its first stages He
went on to say:
''What so or 20 years ago was a
gal to be gained for the worker,
has since become, with the co''ab-
Grafton of the ChuT h, his natural
right and safe possession" 1t was
in this connection that the Pope
added his reminder that class
struggle is alien to the objectives
Of the Church.
The papal audi ence iCr the emil
gr3nts' chaplains conceded with
the publication of new Apostolic
Constitution which coor dinates and
regulates the wo-k undertaken by
various institutions Of the Church
tn behalf of Catholic emisrants
from all countries.
The Pontiff reminded the hap
lains that in Their work they will
mainly deal with individuals and
small groups who lack the benefit
o. association with large Ital,an
II. tional communities like th.se ex-
isl hg in other cont nentS. Hence,
he said, the chaplains must daai
cate large part of their activities
to works of corroral mercy. pr
hapS even legal help. In this way,
tie Holy Father added, tie emf
grants will becor.e disposed toward
bentr reception of spiritual aid
which includes the possibility cf
making COO 'ession in Italian.
The Pontiff also counseled the
chaplains to urge their spiritual
charges toward attending local
churches and adapting themselves
to the religious lite of their new
homes. He emphasized the import
ance for the emigfsnts to make
contact with local Catholic labor
and youth organizations.

Reds Arrest
Two Bishops
In Bulgaria

LONDON - (NC) - Two of
Bulgaria's three Catholic Bishops
have been placed under arrest by
the Red regime, according to a
Vatican Radio broadcast heard
here. They are Bishop Cyril Kur-
teff, Ordinary of the Byzantine
Rite Catholics in Bulgaria, and
Bishop John Romanoff, Vicar
Apostolic of Sofia and Plovdiv.
The broadcast gave no indica-
ton as to the status of the third
Catholic Bishop in Bulgaria, Bish-
op Eugene Bossilkoff, C.P., of Nj
copoli, who maintains residence at
RuSe.
Vatican Radio gave as the source
of its information Bulgarian refu-
gees who recently arrived in
Greece.
Bishop Kurteff was consecrated
in 1926 and is 81 years old. Some
1000 EaStern-Rite Catholics are
under his care In Bulgaria. BiSh-
op Romanoff was consecrated in
1912 and is 73 years old. His See
has the largest number of Catho-
lies in the country, 28,230. In all,
there are about $1,000 Catholics
in Bulgaria.
Vatican Radio stated that at
least 80 priests are known to have
been imprisoned and their fate
or whereabouts is now unknown.
These imprisoned priests make up
about 25 per cent of the total of
l20 Catholic clergymen in the
country.
The broadcast said that Bulgar-
ian police raided the residence of
Bishop BoSsilkoff on July is and
conducted search of the premis-
eS.

directed against Catholic laymen
as well as the clergy, Vatican Ra-
dio stated.
