ADDRESS of His ExcellencY NORRIS F. DE CASTRO
Governor Of the Virgin islands. on the occasion
81 Of the Coronation Of Her Majesty.
Queen Elizabeth II
THURSDAY, JUNE A, 1853

On this joyful occasion, rich
in ancient, solemn ceremony
and impressive with modern
merit and meaning, I wish to
extend to all the Queens of
fcers and subjects resident in
the Virgin Islands, and parti-
cularly to those present at this
special worship service, the
heartiest best wishes a n d
warm congratulations of the
Government and People Of
the Virgin Islands of the
United States.
We join with you in the full
some gladness that radiates
from the age-old ceremony
enacted some hours ago at
Westminster Abbey, the very
heartbeat Of the Empire. We
desire to link our thoughts
and hopes with yours in fer
vent prayer to Almighty God
that the glorious reign Of your
new Queen, which begins to-
day, may bless all peoples of
the British Commonwealth Of
Nations with happiness, pros-
perity, and peace.
In the words of Psalm 122:
II was glad when they said
unto me, We will 60 into the
House of the Lord" may | say
here that it was an honor be-
slowed upon me by your good
pastor, the Reverend Ray
mond Warner, that / be pres
ent and address you on this
historic night. 1t is Of deep
significance to me, as I know
it is also to you, that this ser
vice Of the Coronation is being
held at nChrist Church. and
bv its . W n Congregation
whose members have deep
roots sunk ia the very fiber Of
the British VIRGIN Islands: a
circumstance Which.is moreso

for this Church than with the
other congregations on this Isl
land. In I h at vein, dear
friends, ! now speak to you.
Clear, patent tones of like
ness sound out in our gather
ing here, under t h Star
Spangled Banner and the
Union Jack, as we meet to
beseech Gods guidance and
fortitude in His House upon
Elizabeth, His humble hand
maid. For, in itself, this dedi-
Gated assembly bears remark
able witness, notwithstanding
our separate allegiances, to the
ethnic oneness which h a S
bound our peoples Of these
Virgin Islands together from
time i"mmemorial, and which
continues to adorn our mutual
aspirations, particularly j n
socio-economic relationships.
That is why the hopes and
desires Of our British neigh
bors come ever so close to
those Of us who are United
States citizens living in the
seIfsame islandchain. That is
why we are here assembled,
on this outstanding date Of
your Government and within
these hallowed walls, to voice
appreciation of our insular as
ISOLATION as well as to attest to
ever cordial friendships And
that is why our peoples move
together j n spirit tonight
within the Coronation process

day, June 2, 1858, will fly
away, it will have been etched
indelibly within the annals Of
Time, as the day of common
hope and universal prayer
that Queen Elizabeth II, with
the Prince Consort, may long
prosper in the love of an EN-
pire that salutes her proudly
today in homage.
Queen Elizabeth II has in
herited from her father, the
late King George vi, the high
est traditions of English con-
s~titutional monarchy. You will
remember that it was my prl-
vilege just over a year ago to
stand before the congregation
at the Memorial Moravian
Church of this city and pay
deep respect to- his exemplary
memory. AS King, he was ever
conscious of the obligation as
sovereign If a Nation which
through tn e centuries has
been the champion Of personal
liberty and Of those free.insti-
tutions which ruthless dicta-
tors despise. In return, King
George vi received from the
people of the whole Common
wealth a love and devotion
which went beyond the usual
relationship Of a King and his
subjects.
And now his daughter comes
to the throne when the secur-
ity of the whole world hangs
in the balance. We are deeply

That is as it should be; for per.
haps we are unique in these
Islands when viewed from the
distant angle Of compassionate
relaxation Of certain migra-

Of accomplishment because Of

There is good choice OF bolt
action shotguns on the market
this year and they offer the OPP
portunity Of getting off on the
right side of the cash register.
Pete Brown. our arms expert. re-
ports.
II have made a survey Of the
bolt-actions on the market this
year and have done some shoot
ing with them. I am not bolt
action fan where shotgunS are
concerned, but l will say this. If
a better shotgun was going TO
stand between me and the chance
to get out in the field. l would
get a boltactlon. Where balllstic
performance is concerned. the
/ bolt action will shoot just as hard
an dfar as any other shotgun.
When it comes to functioning.
the bolt actions are IN a class
by themselves. AS repeaters. any
Of them are rather clumsy and
not as fast as the other types of
repeaters In the first place. the
bolts are Of necessity long. lar~c
III diameter and heavy. The bolt
handles are far forward shotgun
butt stocks from butt to trigger
are about one inch longer than
rifle stocks and the bolt handles
are pretty we'll forward as it is.
When loading a second shot, it
is necessary unless you are a
! long EARNED guy TO do some
reaching for the bolt handle.
Therefore. you won't get that
second well directed shot off as
quickly as you will with other
types of repeaters. The bolt
action shotguns are not what you
would call smooth operating and
generally speaking, they are not
a beautiful gun.
Still. they're excellent for the
beginner. You get a lot of gun in
one of these bolt actions and
they are guns you can use safely
you can also bag game and en-
10Y shooting them. If l wasn't
going to do a lot of shooting and
wasn't sure that I would stay in
the sport, I would be tempted by
the bolt-actions. They are a good
proposition for young fellow
starting out. He can find out
whether he wants to stick with
the sport and at the same time
/ come to a better decision on
what to get when he decides to
buy a more expensive gun.
If you have the opportunity
/ of looking at various models
before making selection, by all
means do SO. There is no substi-
tote for seeing and feeling.

Canada Fac es Facts

courage of the Canadian Government In
an effort to counter a Soviet cod-Nar of
fensive the administration in OttoWa is
rskng defeat in next years election. This
is the picture.
Stain has frankly announced that
Communist strategy hinges on an atteWpt
to pull Japan and Germany into the Rus
sian orbit with what might be called eco
monte magnets" The plan is to take adj
vantage of the tendency of the anti-Com-
munist nations to raise tariffs against Jap
anese and German goods. Moscow will try
to make trade with the Soviet so attractive
for the two countries that they will be
drawn away from the West
Canada's answer is to send a special
mission to Tokyo to negotiate Il trade agree
mnt designed to give Japan better mar
ket in Canada. This makes a lot of sense.
Such action is vastly more effective than
bushels Of nti-Communist propaganda.
But it can be very unpopular with certain
Canadians. All who feel that japanese I'M
ports would endanger their own business
will react unfavorably. Enough OF tbs
sentiment could tip the balance of AN cleo
ton. Here is the polltlca risk the Otto"a
government is taking 1T lis economic plans
for checking the Reds.
The same problem faces the United
States. American expenditures in Japan for
the Korean war are temporarily hiding the
"impossibe" economic position of Japan,
But this is an artificial arrangement. 1t

placed with longrange' measures to help
japan maintain a healthy economic life

VHIHEN YOU are studying a for

time. one Of the big humps is
learning the vocabulary. It's dull
but necessary You can know the
rules OF grammar down to the last
footnote; you can pronounce the
words like native" but If you
don't know what the words mean,
you are sunk All this is just as
true in trying to understand the
Bible as it is in understanding any

A Chinese Nationalist weather man was

failing to chart properly the course of the
disastrous typhoon.
Instead Of going where the Weatherman
predicted, the typhoon struck Formosa on
November l4th, without warning. The
storm left over $50 dead and missing and
injured about 400. 1t also destroyed almost
10000 homes and damaged an even larger
number.

Nevertheless, there is no evidence that Mr.
Edison wasted his time and we can be fairly
certain that he appropriated it wisely.
OF all the New Years resolutions one
can make, we believe, the most important
is a wise appropriation of ones time. At
the END of the year we will find ourselves
less critical Of the things we have left un-
done"
What applies to the individual also APP
plies to organizations. There are those who
think the nation and the community are
over-organzed. There may be some logic in
the idea but it must be remembered that
the population of the United States has
greatly increased and there must be some
organization in which every one should have
a part One man said to US recently that all
organizations should be dissolved for per-
od of one year and everybody attend to his
own business. Of course, this is an over
statement, but we do agree that commu-
nifty organizations should assess their work
for the past year and examine their pro-
grams for the coming year, set goal
which is "a possibility and bend every effort
toward reaching it.
III some cases, new ideas, new enthuSl-
assn, new faces are needed. Too many of the
same people belong to and assume respon-
Sibilities in community organizations prin-
cipally because they will take the lead
where others hesitate. Development of adj
ditional talent is always helpful. We do
not think the community over-organized, on
the contrary, there are too few people car
rying their part Of the responsibility, or
contributing their ability and enthusiasm
toward reaching the goals set. New hori-
cons, new enthusiasm, new workers
can increase the value of worthwhile COM
munity, social and religious organizations.
Why not make the New Years resolu-
ton one which can be kept and determine
now to appropriate valuable time, to assume
a share Of the responsibility in whatever
organization you choose for the year 1858?
