THE ST. CROIX OFFICE

lHE 0I. ChOlA OFFICE
H ST. CRoK branch Of the Virgin Islands Tourist
Development Board now has an Office located in the Govern
ment House Of which it can be proud. Furnishings were made
locally; the theme in the design has been to use l~ocalspro-
ducts. Artistic and still functional, cabinets and chairs made.
Of mahogany and rattan, are designs that were suggested by
Mrs. Lee Karwick, approved by the St. Croix members Of the
Board, and carried out by Mr.. Allan Price. The office,
painted in Danish blue with white trim, picks up the atmos-
phere Of the Island.
MRS. KARWICK, manager of the local Office, who was
offered the position Of Director Of Public Relations for the
Virgin Islands when plans were made for such an office, is
fully qualified and highly experienced in the entire field Of
public relations.
IT SHOULD % be necessary at this late date in our
development to point out the advantages OF having one ex-
perienced in the field of public relations at the head Of our
local office, but since there is still logged adherence to out
NODDED ideas, it seems at least wise to call attention to the fact
that in this day and time our relations with the rest Of the
world and particularly Americans is Of the utmost import
ance. What we will get from Congress; what our %neighbors
and friends on the continent will think Of us; what move
ments can be started and continued will also depend upon the
type Of relations we develop and maintain. Time was when
people at home looked with indifference to a newspaper, and
the mere mention Of ones nam in the local papers would
create dissatisfaction. Thank the good Lord that day IS pass
ing rapidly, for if it did not, we would still be in the horse
and buggy days.
/ LEE KARWICK HAS been with both the United Press.
and the Associated Press, was assistant to the chief of the
Kensley newspapers, one Of the worlds largest chains; has
written numerous articles covering Lord Mountbatten,
former Viceroy Of India, the coverage Of the coronation OF
the King Of Siam, and practically every world event OF mpor=
lance and moment. If anyone is prepared for this task it is

knew his business as far as mixing paint is
concerned, so went and got the jug of turps,

half pint, stirring briskly and lifting the
stick now and then and letting the paint
triclle off of it, like a French chef testing his
cake batter.
