the figures collected and truly
gratifying interest shown
The first meeting with the al
lied members, MI. Hurd said,
would be called in July, after
t h e amendment governing
tourist development hoard
funds had come before the
legislature. AT that time plans
for the organization will be
crystallized and allied mem-
bers will decide with the ho-
tai association how they wish
to spend the money that has
been raised. Members and all
lied members are confident
that many more will join be-
lore the July meeting and
that the st. Croix voice will
be heard more and more voci-
ferously in the months to
comn.
Heard after the meeting was
a jubilant comment Every
thing said at this meeting was

year round business possible.
He explained that the greater
the cooperation and contribu-
ton made by the businessmen.
and women of the island, the
greater would be the coopera-
ton and contribution of gov
eminent. He told Of t h e
amendment that is to be in-
troduced into the next legis-
lature that will give st. Croix
the right to determine how
the money raised in st. Croix.
for tourist development will
be spent, an amendment me-
cessary because of the wide.
divergence of need between
st. Thomas and st. Croix.
Jack Burgess I h e n ex-
planned that since there were
as yet no other tourist organi-
cations with an active voice
in tourist development the.
st. Croix Hotel Association
had decided to create allied
members Of its group. The re-
Spouse to the idea would de-
termine the next step. Mem
Sbership was set at SIS for the
year ending June first, 1854.
Pledges W e r distributed
while the audience was given
a chance to ask questions. Mr..
Hurd then closed the meeting
by thanking the audience for
turning out in spite of the

Is sad commentary on the situation.
II the junior league could not
adjust their schedule to fit the open

wrong. The Smokers would have
just Is games per month here and
chances are Is 900 people would be
out at the ballpark to watch them.
There are more people sitting on
the bench at junior league Tits
than there are In the stands. The
same goes for the high school.
They didn't draw flies until they
got in the running for the district
championship. But, that is beside
the point : neither club is operated
for financial gain.
But, the point Is, certain people
are willing to sacrifice the chance

fishing a new organization,
KAISER WHY'S Sales Division, to

Mr.. Kaiser made the an

series Of meetings with each
company's distributor and dealer
councils, which, he said, gave
enthusiastic endorsement to the
plan"
Mr.. Kaiser said the two COM

some engineering.
The new Kaiser WHY'S Sales
