The instrument which forms the basis for the forest de-
lvelopment work formed on private land is q Cooperative
Agreement between the landowner and the Virgin Islands
Corporation. This is an agreement of understanding which
outlines the conditions under which forest management will
be practiced BY VCORP upon the lands of the owner. The
agreement provides for echnicahsupervision, it stipulates
the type Of work to be performed, and described the cost shar
ing. arrangement under whichsthe work is to be accomplished
Your forester is now in the process of contracting landowners,
to explain the program to them in detail, and to obtain CO.
operative agreements.
IT IS proposed that by underplanting with Slips or BY

steep slopes that row support only brush. Conversion Of
these areas from bush to timber will not only provide a flu

have a very beneficial effect upon the water storage capacity
of the soils. This is most important in the Virgin Islands. The
planting of trees for windbreaks and the thinning or improve
ment Of young mahogany stands is also part Of the p-ogran.
The. response from the public to cate has been most en-

that although the work is presently being concentrated on

WRITES LETTER BACK

What took the cake in the in
cident was the fact that within a
week after Collisions sudden de-
parture from Miami, the pro-
prietor received a long, detailed
letter from him, which was post
marked Raleigh, N. c. and in
which Collision confessed every
thing and asked to be forgiven.
He promised to make restitution
for the stolen money and mer-
chandise starting March %.
Collision did not keep his prom
Use. But the climaxing feature of
the letter was Collisions sugges-
ton to the proprietor that ''If you
want me to work again, just send
me the fare, and I'll return to
Miami at once"
Katz learned that Goldcton's
father was in Belview, N. j. and
communicated with the father
concerning young Collision. The
father made several suggestions
in the matter, all of which proved
to be of no avail.
Katz added that Collision in
troduced a woman to him as his
wife when he was first employ
ed; but in the letter received from
Collision he admitted that the
woman was not his wife.
Collision may face a federal
charge when captured for having
crossed a state line with stolen

Poles Are ResourcefuI
AT SwindIine Red Rule

Smuggling is rife. It starts
in the ports Of Danzig and
Gdynia. which are teeming with
visiting ships. Sailors lug ashore
all sorts Of things, including
whisky and American cigarettes.
In almost any tobacco shop one
can find assorted brands OF
American cigarettes. There Is
scarcely any effort on the part
of the government to curb this
trafiic. One official explained:
These things are not pro-
duced here. They don't hurt
our economy. In fact they help
it. Poles get things they other
wise wouldn't and no one Is
being particularly damaged.
The government and the party
often issue appeals on the theme
that the Pole who cheats the
regime is cheating himself be-
cause it is "the peoples govern
ment." The words fall on pretty
deaf ears.

Shops cheat on taxes and Of
