persistent, indomitable.
Virgin islanders, especially those who are fortunate to
fill high office are subject to much harsh an undeserved ci-
Iticsm and censure. Our Governor has had his full share. In
fact, it seems to be the only way for some people to show
how big they are, or how smart they are to have a fling
at those whose shoes they are not even worthy to loose.
All Of US can recall that sordId and scurrlous barrage
to which he was subjected shortly after the disastrous fire
Of Blackboard Castle in st. Thomas, but under the sting and
irritation of it all he still labored on; he never shirked his
public duty, but labored on with the same unruffled temper,
the same unshakable confidence in the righteousness and
justice Of his cause, and by his conduct throughout that test
ing and trying ordeal after the dust had settled, conferred
not only honor and distinction on himself, but maintained
the dignity and prestige Of his office, and earned the respect
of a not insignificant number Of his feHoW=citizenst
Public life tries character like fire, it tries it in success,
and IN what the world calls failure Men come and men go.
The fortunes of us all fluctuate and occilate in what seems
our poets has said
Wave following wave departs forever
But still flows on eternal river"
Men come and go, but if our principles are right we shall
always survive and. have the solace and satisfaction Of a job
well done, and the advantage Of leaving a memory and an
example, as in this case Of one who has served his country
and people with an unstinted measure of devotion to work,
to duty, and to- service.

berries and happiness of the people Of these islands; I shall
make no attempt to shower indiscriminate praise. His record
is there for all who care to see and to observe. But suffice It
to say he is leaving with us a rich record of achievement and
accomplishment of measures, enhancing the welfare ana al
vancing and promoting the general interest Of a large mass
of his fellow-citizens.
We who have been associated with him, we who have had
the privilege Of sharing his counsel, and Of working with him
in the daily administrative routine and are acquainted with
his broad and sound grasp of our public affairs and his adj
ministrative capacity, know well what we are losing.
1t must be a great solace and satisfaction to him to know
that in all the arduous task of administration in these IS
lands-and the office Of Governor is no sinecure-he has al
ways earned the full confidence Of those with whom the
overall supervision of these islands rests.
We of the staff, Sir, can ~truthfully and honestly say that
1T is with deep and genuine regret, nay more with feelings
of profound sorrow, that we know that you are leaving the

Today marks the Fourth Anniversary Of his Inaugural
ton to the office of the Governor, and we are fortunate and
privileged to. have him and his family with us, to pay this
small tribute of our admiration and esteem and also our ap-
probation for his long & valued services to these our Virgin
Islands. We feel, too, that this toast would be unanimously
and intellectually welcomed on every other anniversary,
but on this occasion it is mingled with a tinge OF sadness;
for it is no secret that this anniversary comes almost on the
eve Of his resignation from the office of Governor ,and per-
haps, too, his retirement from the public service OF our
islands.
Thirty-six wears apo, our Governor entered the public
service of these islands as a Junior Clerk in the Sanitation
Service Of the Department of Health in the Municipality OF
ST. Thomas and st. John:
AT that time a new sovereignty, a new administration,
new men, indeed a new era, had just dawned upon these
islands. Among the newcomers Of those days, there we're
very few if any, Judged by the superficial tests that are COM
monty applied. who would have thought that the junior clerk
as he then was, would have filled the position he ultimately
reached. But bv perseverance and dint of hard work, he rose
successfully through the offices of Asst. Commissioner OF
Finance, Commissioner Of Finance, Asst. Government Sec
rotary, Government Secretary, and finally to the office Of
Governor-the highest place in these Virgin Islands.
There have been men who in the cruel phase Of the an
Gent historian, have been generally judged to have been tit
for the highest place only at such time as they attained and
held it. Our Governor belonged to that rarer class, whose
fitness for the highest place, untlsuch time as he had attain
ed and held it was never adequately understood
1t is true he reached high office much younger than most
of his Predecessors, and though he had too modest an estimate
Of himself to desire, and still less to seek the first place in
these Islands. II fell to him after years Of service by a title
which no one disputed, and he filled it with an ever=growing
recognition in all quarters Of his unique quallficationS-quah-
ties not Of a defiant OF aggressive type but calm, patient,

HEALTH COUNCIL SESSION
 REVIEWS HEALTH ORDINANCE

At the regular session of the Seward Health Council held last week on Friday, it was reported that all organizations in town had been sent copy of the Constitu. tion and Bylaws.
 A report was also given on the existing Health Ordinance of the Town and it was found that the Ordinance was based on a Health Officer being employed by the city. Thus little could now be done in the way of enforcing good health practices which the Health Council desires to see adopted by local citizens and businesses. The Health Council is not an enforce. ing body as defined in it's Consti tuition and Bylaws and therefore could not be a substitute for the Health Officer. Territorial Law also sets forth the qualifications of Health Officer and only a licensed physician can act in this capacity.
 The Council went on record as favoring the appointment and em- ployment of a Health Officer and enforcement of the Health Ordin- ance No. 192.
 Andy Zebrel of the Alaska De- partment of Health was on hand and told the Council members of plans for the x-ray program which is to be undertaken in Seward. The Council president, Mrs. E. w. Hull appointed committee Chair men to take care of all the work connected with the x-ray clinic. (See story elsewhere in this issue. )
 Water samples and the condition and possible contamination of the local water supply was discussed at some length by the group. As there was some belief that per haps the City had some plans for chlorinating the water supply it was decided to make inquiries of the Council and determine what plans if any the City Council had in this connection.
 A report was also heard on the sanitary problem at the Bayside School and it was reported that the School Board had programmed a project to clear up this problem
 The next regular meeting of the Health Council will be held on December 3. The public is invited to attend any of these sessions and participate in the discussion.

Frank Walunga Makes Good Recovery

An accident of birth has made many complications for Frank Wal. unga. St. Lawrence Island native The entire situation was finally cleared up last week when Frank got his final citizenship papers in Seward - 36 years after the ac- cident
 It seems that there are two dis tinct groups of people on St. Law renee Island, thoe whose ances- tors had come from the Siberian Coast and those whose ancestors were Alaska mainland Eskimos - all Eskimos and all knowing the beautiful Island as their home. It happened that Franks parents were of the former group and one day in the early 1900's were sailing far from home in their uniak hunt ing for food possibly walrus or Ookruk - when Mrs. Walunga decided it was time that they find shelter and place for their baby to be born. It happened that the shelter was with far distant re- latives on the Siberian Coast, 40 miles from their onw home at Sevunga on St. Lawrence Island
 And so Frank was born in Sib- eria. An this is where the compli- cation began. He attended school in Gambell on the Island and there he learned the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States and the Declaration of Independence, even the Preamble to the Con- stitution in the Civics classes of

SPECIAL COUNCIL SESSION HEARS EMPLOYEE COMPLAINTS

The City Council chambers were the scene Tuesday evening of heat ed discussion of City policies in many fields, however. most of the controversy seemed to center ar- ound the Street Department and City Manager.
 Due to late arrival at the meet ing your Record reporter is un- able to report in full on the meet ing, however through the good offices of Dick White of KIBH, we have full report on the meeting.
 The meeting was called at the request of Councilman Anthony to discuss several problems which had apparently come to a head during the absence of the Mayor and City Manager who were at- tending the League of Alaskan Cities meeting in Fairbanks They had been sent as official represen- tatives of the City with the Coun- ciPs blessing.
 According to the Councilman a meeting had been held at MT. Pelch's house and at that time numerous complaints were lodged by four City Street Department employees against their Depart ment head, MT. Ross.
 According to Councilman Petro- vich, spokesman for the employees, charged among other things that the department was run by the department head in a "Hitler-like" manner. That an unskilled equip ment operator was used while a skilled man was used as a truck driver. It was also charged that overtime was not paid for work done on Alaska Day. that there was a lack of good judgement in the

is now about a week behind sched- ule. As it now looks, the unit should arrive in Seward sometime Thanksgiving week after spending couple of days at Moose Pass.
 Due to the ever lessening ap- .propriations for this service, it has been necessary to try and recover some of the cost of operation of the unit by accepting a contribu- tion from persons receiving the K ray service. The $1.00 contribution is not mandatory and any person who desires the x-ray can still re- ceive the. service though they feel that they cannot afford to contri- bute.
 The unit has been removed from it's regular Van and it is necessary to set up the equipment in some warm place. In Seward that will be the Civic Center. The team op- erating the mobile x-ray unit in- cludes Dr. John Weinberg, Radio logist; Mrs Weinberg, Clerk; and Ray Kennedy, x-ray technician.
 In order to facilitate the speedy processing of every possible person in town desiring the x-rays the Health Council president Mrs. E. w. Hull appointed a number of committees to do the advance work to get the community ready for the survey. The following are the committee heads named: E. w. Hull, Program; Don Dalberg, Fac ilities; Mrs. Droun, Services and Home canvasers, the home canvas ing will be done by ladies of the Legion Auxiliary; Mrs. Carl Ling, Publicity; Mrs. Carl Stoekle, Host ess; and Mir. William Bonser, Ed ucation.
 It has been pointed out that the purpose of the x-ray program is g. fold first, the most publicized is locating persons who may have either heart trouble or cancer. Any of these three need not be extreme ly serious if caught in their early stages, the x-ray program hopes to do that in many cases. a4
 Findings of the x-ray will not be made public record other than possible statistical data on the number and types of cases found. The findings in case you need med ical attention will be referred to your doctor and you will be advis- ed of the nature of the findings and what course of action is rec commended.
 In addition to the financial aid received from contributions of per sons taking the x-ray the mobile Health Survey is supported by the Alaska Department of Health, AL aska TB Association, Alaska Div ision of the American Cancer Soc- iety, the Heart Associations of Alaska and the U. s. Public Health Service.

UTILITY BOARD REVIEWS TELEPHONE SURVEY RESULTS

The Seward Public Utility Board had it's preview of plans for a city owned telephone system. at their regular meeting Tuesday night.
 The Board met in the building office when they were crowded out of the Council Chambers, where the City Council was holding a special meeting.
 J. w. Bauler, of Alaska Enginee- ing Associates, was present to offer his preliminary report on a city owned telephone system. The Board had previously approved the hiring of MT. Bauler. telephone engineer, in order to conduct a feasibility survey on the economies of a city system.
 The new plans, if approved by the tax payers at bond election to be held at later date, will extend the telephone lines as far north as the junction of the Seward and Kenai roads, and will include Moose Pass and all practical areas on both sides of the highway.
 The new system will expand tel ephone service in this area nearly double, and because of a proposed rate reduction of approximately 20% it is expected that the sub-
