Hundreds Undble
TO see Donkey Ruces
Roin. Indirect Cause

Hundreds Of people, here on
the island and from st. Tho
mas, were disappointed be-
cause the were unable to see
the Donkey races yesterday.
The indirect cause Of this was
rainfall on Sunday afternoon
which made it impossible to
play the scheduled baseball
game, which might have end
ed the series or, if not, one
game only on Monday morn
ing would have been the final.
Thus two games had to be
played on Monday in Freder-
iksted, which prevented many
visiting st. Thomians as well
as residents from getting to
Parade Ground in C ristian-
sted on time to see tn races
The st. Thomians wanted an
opportunity to root fer their
own Irene, who, incidental

FINALLY, the local Republican club failed to take g de-
finite stand on whether or not a native should be appointed
Governor Regardless Of the merits or dement's Of such a
situation, the club should quickly, but decisiyely have made
its position known. As a result Of defaulting on this particu-
lar point, official Washington must have decided that some
thing definite must be done to clear the air.
IN ALL THIS, the Islands are bound to suffer, and
therefore the comment here. In the mad scramble for jobs,
and little else, the local Republican club may have missed
the boat to its own and the ldetriment of all the Virgin
Islands.

FUMBLING AWAY THE BALL

VERYLONG ago the idea began to take form that
the local Republican Club was slipping, but there was hope,
somehow, that it would s~traighten out itself and become a
factor to be reckoned with. Alas, that hope has gone, and
even the most AVID optimist must concede that the club has
even the most avid optimist must concede that the club has
AFTER 20 YEARS of Democratic rule on the mainland
and in these Islands, it would seem as if the Republican
Club would be anxious to come forth, assert itself, and be-
come a power in local political affairs, linking these Islands
with the proper powers and connections on the mainland.
That this has not been done is too tragic for words.
THIS CLUB HAS made SO many glaring mistakes that
to repeat them would take pages, yet a few Of the most out
standing ones could bear repeating, just fol-, the record. First,
the local Republican Club, completely misconceiving its pur-
pose, aims and detectives, and the possible power it could
WELD, promptly set out to stage a series Of pitched battles
within the confines of its own baiiwick fg~uratiyely speak
ing. Island to Island issues loomed out Of proportion, and
those who were thought to have a voice found themselves
shouting them out in an effort to calm things. Thus, in the.
very beginning one of the cardinal principles of effective.
politics was totally disregar6ed.
SECOND, H Club, forgetting that there are such
things as courtesy and good graces, promptly proceeded to
find methods of discrediting and embarrassing the de Castro
administration. This was foolish beyond words for many rea-
sons, among which is also the cardinal principle in political
circlesthat words, time and energy are not wasted on an out
going administration Wheny therefore, those who posed as
having knowledgeof things political set OUT to attack the4ocal
administration it produced Just the opposite results.
THIRD, the club, failing to reach the proper contacts
and leads on the. mainland, thereupon failed to convince
official Washington that there was an awareness ofWhat was

PETTICOAT POLITICO

FEIIlCOAI FOL1ICO
IN 1852 Mrs. Anna Brodhurst struck a new note
in the political annals of her homeland, a note that sounded
all over the Virgin Islands ~affording the thinking citizenry
something entirely different to react to. AS the first woman
from Christiansted, St. Croix, to run for a seat in the Munich
pal Council, Anna Brodhurst established herself as a pioneer
on the civic front. Heralded by Struggling shoulders, rolling
eyes and onguesin-cheek this effort was a decided chal-
lenge to the skeptics, provoking controversy and conjecture.
The step had been taken, however, the die was cast. I'm
daunted, the aspirant forged ahead with plans, believing in
herself and her supporters
MRS BRODHURST lost her first political skrmish. It
might be said that her certain victory defeated her, Voters
cannot afford to take chances. They must go to the polls full
strength regardless and give their candidate unbeatable
backing right up to the zero hour. The 81 elections are
looming in the offng and Anna Brodhurst has announced
her candidacy for Senator at Large in the new Virgin Islands
legislature. For a second time she is throwing her hat in the
political ring and incidentally a very beautiful hat styled
with courage, forttude and strength of character. We take
off our hats to her! We commend this woman, who, in spite
of one failure is determined to try again, confident OF her
ability to enact the role of Senator at Large successfully.
A SEASONED ~campaigner now, Madam Candidate
knows all the ropes. She is well aware OF former mistakes
and will not repeat them. She is wise to the tricks and de-
ceptions of the political game and undoubtedly is equipped
to meet any contingency that may arise. A background OF
moral soundness, her humane and philanthropic qualities
together with an indefatigable interest and love Of country
makes this ndsputable leader rate the support especially
Of all the women on all Of the islands. Her altogether fine
characteristics cannot be ignored because it is these same
attributes that will contrive to make her a thoroughly con-
cientious representative of her people, one who will embrace
truth, honesty and a democratic attitude in dealing with all
matters. APPARENTLY there is a tempest seething in
the ssugar boiler. "A PETTICOAT POLTTICO, fearless, yet

Most home movies leave you
with a feeling that, no matter
how good the cinematography
and editing, something is miss
ing and they somehow fail to
stack up well against the pro-
fessional product that we have
taken for granted for so many
years. The trouble? Simply
that most movie fans don't
bother to use titles.
= An untitled film gets of to
an awkward start and finishes
up on the same note. 1t also
denotes a lack of respect for
the film by it's maker, for any
motion picture worth showing
is surely worth giving the final
touch of perfection with a
main title, a few explanatory
subtitles throughout the film
and a firm closing note for the
moment when the protector is
to be shut of.
The usual home product
starts of with a glare of light
on a blank screen, skids into
action as the first scene jumps
into place and often keeps the
audience wondering for some
time what the picture is all
about. But it is so easy to
shoot a few professional look
ing titles that every amateur
cinematographer should use
them to dress up his Aims.
However, let us say here that
titles should not be used as
crutcheS to carry a poorly
planned film along. Each film
should tell a complete story in
itself so that If the titles and
subtitles are taken away it will
still carry along on its own.
In rare instances. where foot
age has to be discarded for
some reason and circumstances
make 1t impossible to reshoot
the scene or scenes, a cleverly
devised subtitle will bridge the
gap But this is not recon-
mended as a general rule.

your films is by the use Of bill
boards or signboards that have
some significant meaning. For
example, If your story Is about
a trip to some distant town you
might simply run enough FOOT
age Of the sign at the railway
station that tells the name OF
the place. The same applica-
ton can be made by using
roadsigns that are usually seen
just before entering a city,
town or resort.
II you feel like doing q fancy
Job Of it. try shooting q NOV
ing scroll title. The title, in this
case, is either lettered or print
ed on a long card. The card is
wound around a drum. Start
your camera with the first part
OF the title stationary-then
slowly turn the drum as the
words unfold before the lens of
your camera. This type of title
job is especially effective where
long messages must be used
and for moving from the main
title through the screen credits
without a break in the scene.
II your camera can be wound
backward you can have a fling
at double-exposed titles. Suf-
f1cient footage is run through
the camera Of some scene
which is intimately tied up in
the story so that ample read
ing time will be allowed for
the title. Then the Aim is
wound backward through the
camera to the point at which
the scene started and the title
double-exposed right on top
OF the scene. In this case the
lettering should be white on q
dead = black background so
that only the lettering records
on top Of the first exposure.
Animoting the Title
Finally, we come to the ami
mated title. This takes a
little doing. Here is how it's
done: For instance, take the
title where a scramble of block
letters rearrange themselves
by seeming magic to form a
title. The camera is mounted
upside down on the tripod and
the finder lined up with your
plan for the final composition.
The title. in perfect order, is
set up and filmed as is. Then.
a block at a time is slightly
disarranged and each change
is filmed by single-framing
until the job Of scrambling the
letters Is complete. When the
film comes back from the
professors, cut out the upside
down strip Of film, turn it
over and splice it back onto
the film at the start of the
picture. When screened, the
letters will seem to unscram-
BILE themselves to form a per-
feet title.
