Editorial
LAURELS TO MISS MACKAY
FEW MUNICIPAL employees have pill,

FEW MUNICIPAL employees have piled up the envi-
able record Miss Mariel MacKay has piedfup for herself In
fact she is in a class by herself. The nursing profession is one
alternating the suffering of sick and uncomfortable humanity.
1t is one of those professions which is carried on without fan
fare and often under the most critical and s~acrifcial crcum-
stances, yet in many instances without even normal credit.
Not only did Miss MacKay perform her duties well, but with
dedication to service devoted the greater part of her life to
helping others.
THE COUNCIL PROPERLY expressed appreciation on
the part Of the people of St. Croix in the forms of a resolution,
which was beautifully framed and presented to Miss MacKay.
In addition there was a gift of a Coffee Table of native ma
hogany. The Council could not have performed a more appro-
pirate act. As one voice, everyone on this island takes time out
to back the Council in its resolution. Countless are the pa
tients Of all hospitals, as well as the inmates of the Kings Hill
Home who have felt the personal warmth Of Miss MacKays
presence, as she carried out her duties as head of that depart
ment. To win friends and maintain respect as chief Of such a
department speaks highly for the capabilities Of Miss MacKay.
IT'S HOPED that the Council will do more than present
it's resolution accompanied by a gift. Such service to an entire
community as Miss MacKay has given SO consistently high,
for 50 long a period deserves the kind Of compensation which
is best shown through adequate retirement.
TIL AVIS takes pleasure in joining the thousands Of well
wishers, former patients and co-Workers in, expressing appre-
citation to Miss MacKay for a job well done, and to wish that
retirement will bring the contentment and satisfaction so well
deserved.

Largest Chapter

The Loris Chapter of the Young
Farmers of America has received
notice that it is the largest chapter
in the state and thus eligible for
the prize to be given the largest
chapter at the annual meeting in
Columbia the latter part Of the
year, Joe D. Mccormick, LoriS
High School agricultural teacher,
said today.
The Loris Chapter also showed
the greatest percentage of increase
in membership over last years
and thus would be eligible for
that prize also but for the ruling
that one chapter can win only one
prize, he added.
No. meeting at present because
of the pressure from the work on
tobacco, the chapter will hold its
next regular meeting in October.

wounds he received about LAS
o'clock Monday morning in an
encounter with a night proWler
at his home at Bolton.

in the search for a Negro who IS
known to have been the attacker.

was reported in a state of terror
as result of recent visits by the
prowler.

night clothes. He saw a man walk
ing arcoss the street from the yard

game protector. By the time he
realized he had | eft his gun and
automobile keys in his car, the
Negro had reached his garage and
was attempting to get into the car
when Boswell tackled him.
from getting the gun out of the
car pocket and from getting away,
Boswell held on to him with his
arms. The Negro, however, broke
free and stabbed Boswell four
times.
