WHAT WILL 1858 BRING

WILL 1858 BRING
I'll WILL 1858 bring?
THE OPENING OF a new year is the time when people
turn either to making resolutions or representations. This
time Of year somehow brings new hope and inspiration and
fresh desire to make good in those things which did not turn
out 50 well in the past. 1t is the time of year when men take
stock of themselves, both by looking back to see what has
been accomplished, and by looking ahead for even greater
accomplishments
NINETEE HUNDRED and fifty three can be a most
important year in the history of these Islands. It is not too
much to say that this very year may see the opening up Of new
avenues for economic development leading to independence
in that respect. More trade and business could be developed,
the Experiment Station could be well on its way to showing
a new and more vital way to rural life, small industries may
spring up and form the beginning Of a vital element in the
economic development of these Islands
A R MUST BE TAKEN that no traces Of bias, bigory
and discrimination find their way into the life Of these islands,
and as in all other years this one must be free of these
scourges. On the surface it might seem that this should not
be a matter Of concern. But this is only surface. Already traces
Of this menace have shown themselves, subtle though the
methods might be.
ALONG THE STRICTLY material lines, 1858 should see
the completion Of a number Of significant and important pub
lie works projects, including the Jackson Terrace Homes, and
schools, in addition to the Strengthening and perfecting OF the
telephone system which is vital in this day and time.
n PROSPECTS are that these Islands will see a new
Governor bv NAV or June, after the Eisenhower administra-
ton has had time to clear its desk of more important matters.
This could be the most important single move, since the new
chief executive for these Islands could do much to see many
local dreams come. true. He could be a conscientious worker
with vision and understanding, on the one hand, OF he could
merely be satisfying a personal ambition Of being a governor
lust because he knew the right connections, and made a big
enough contribution. Of course, there is also the possibility

most comfortable reading rooms and,
in fact, every luxury which modern
skill can suggest.
The Baldwin House, which is a
new building, has recently been fit

the walls of the bar-room, dining
room and office have been elaborate

hotel has been enlarged, and is now
one of the most elegant and best fur
nished in the State.
