Having almost q year in which
to make our island even more at
tractive to tourists, let us start
now to plan the campaign and to
inspire the work that will result
in a completely delightful picture.
The five senses are the source of
impression for US all. The tourists
five senses are often the only
source Of impression. Almost no
tourist asks How did this island
get to be as it ISL They are not
interested in our past or present
economic problems. They come
for pleasure. The FIVE senses offer
pleasure or displeasure. Let us do
what we can to offer the best so
that we may all become more pros
porous because Of increased tour

and incinerators and buried
garbage are profitable. Clean
illness IS actually cheaper than
doctors bills. Living out Of
doors, at least in the day time,
is of great benefit to children.
Their Fairgrounds must be
free Of rusty tin cans and rat
attracting litter.
To concentrate on the litter
surrounding rural homes is I'm
fair. AS we look out Of our
window, here in town, we see
the yards Of neighbours who
have been educated in DUR ex-
cellent schools but who seem
to have forgotten all the rules
Of hygienic living they ever
learned. Open garbage cans,
scattered corn husks, old bits
Of broken down machinery
clutter the yards round about
US. Cleanup Week might be
an excellent programme for
early spring here as it is on
the continent. Children again
can initiate this work and
carry it through with the
guidance Of their parents. We
wonder if the churches would
not be interested: Cleanliness
being next to Goodness per
haps the Sunday Schools
would be happy to start the
Cleanup Week programme.
This brings US again to the
sense of smell. We have men
toned the jasmine and the other
understanding blossoms. Now let
us open our nostrils and come to
some realistic conclusions about
how we can make the island more
fragrant. The problems that con-
front us here will be left to land
lords and sewage disposal agents,
But if we wait for them to take
the initiative, our sense of smell
may be offended a long time. Why
not call for service when we no
tice sewers that need washing,
Anticipated outhouses especially
in town, and collections of indie
licate thrash that-to our own
nOstrils-call for service? This IS
an adult project. We do not lack
adult organizations that will want
to do something about unsightly

five SENSES
Sense Of Smell

sGNk@4@
After we have said that ours
is one Of the most beautiful is
lands of the world, let us look
closer and ask why it is not
the most beautiful. How can
we make at least a trifle more
beautiful than it is?
The eye Of the tourist and
our own eyes would be pleased
a thousandfold if we could
see a thousand times an many
flamboyant and African Tulip
trees. Why wait for Nature to
throw the seeds about? Why
not plant a thousand more
Towering trees? The rainfall
that nourishes the few we
have now will feed an island
full Of blossoms. School chill
dren might, with great pride
and profit to their self-respect,
take on the duty Of planting
not only trees but lots more
hibiscus and other Towering
bushes throughout the island.
A prize for the most beautiful
corner of the island might be
offered by the Tourist Develop
ment Board to the group of
school children having plant
ed the most artistically. Let us
all plant more.
The only really sore spot
that comes to mind now in our
lovely scene is that that sur
rounds the cottages on our.
Estates. From q distance they.
all look like fairy villages
When we reach the yards,
however, we find thrash and
garbage littering too many
plots that could be cleaned.
Perhaps the residents do not
think that the outdoors is i'm
pQrtant; they live indoors.
Our rural representatives and
agents can teach them, for
their health as well as for
beauty's sake, that trash piles
