Of his methods than what his program involves. 1t is no
secret that the Governor insults people at will. ~disregards
advice, leaves the impression that he completely disregards
serious consideration Of qualified natives, and in general
seems to work hardest at violating even the simple rules
which people in such positions follow closely
IN HI FINAL analysis, the Governors resignation
which was carried in yesterdays issuse, might well be that
he he o~verplayed his hand to the displeasure and embarrass-
ment of his immediate superiors in the Department Of the
Interior, and not because Of what the people Of the Virgin
Islands think Of him, Or whether OF not they are easy or diff
ficult to govern.

UNFAIR IMPRESSION

ONFkI6 IMf1EO0ICN
ONE MORE WoRD has to be said in defense Of the
people Of the Virgin Islands,
IN THE JANE column Drew Pearson, in speaking Of
the first civilian Governor, said:
1t took them tDo decades to appreciate
mu father, the first cipiidn Gooernor in their
history lDho started the National Bank, the Vir-
gin Islands Corp, natoe handicraft. and the
toSrist trade noD responsible for the Virgins,
economy.
OUTSIDE WRITERS continually fail to recognize two
highly important factors. They are that % the people Of the
Virgin Islands, like every other group in the world, especial
" in a democracy, have the natural urge to govern them
selves, and that much of their dissatisfaction stems from that
fact. In much of what is said and done, therefore, other mat
tiers seem to loom large and the blame is misplaced; and ~
that in the behind-thescenes shuttle, the people Of these
Islands are entirely powerless, yet they are given blanket
blame for matters over which they have no control.
AT H TINE when dignfied, kindly Quaker Paul NJ.
Pearson was Governor his problems stemmed not 50 much
from the masses as from the constant pickering among some,
Of his own appontees. But even more important was the
work of a small but highly Influential. group which looked
with much misgiving, and even fear, upon the progressive.
program and tendencies of d.. Pearson-fear that any social
and economic reform might disturb the settled order of
things to the disadvantage Of this minority.
FINALLY, DR.. Parsons removal came because Of
politics played in Washington, where a Fedarally appointed
District Judge for one reason or another might have used his
influence to the Governors disadvantage. All the people Of
the Islands knew at that time was that one fine day both
Governor Pearson and the judge were reassigned to positions
in Washington.
IN H PRESENT situation, if the masses of the people
do not take kindly to Governor Alexander it is more because

Here's an Easy Method
To Build Brick Potio

thick, you can use these as
ispacers to obtain a perfect align
Iment.
The final step is to sweep sand
into the spaces between the
brick and wet it down slightly
with a fine water spray. The
sand will hold the brick almost
as firmly as concrete and it has
the big advantage that it per-
mits you to add all your after
thoughts with little effort.
Construction of Driveway
"Our house is set back from
the road and We have a gravel
drive leading up to- it. This is
built on slight grade. Rains
wash the gravel down so that in
the spring it becomes very
muddy. What is the best and
cheapest way to Ak this road?"
Mrs. A. J.C. wants to know.
Answer Il assume that your
drive consists of a thin layer of
relatively fine gravel over a clay
base. If so, you cannot expect
it to give service. If you want
Ia drive that will give service you
must remove about S inches of
earth from the drive and then
fill this area with gravel, Gin
|ders or crushed stone having a
high percentage of particles
about the size of a chestnut.
The finer material serves only to
fill in the voids and provide a
smooth top surface.
Painting Galvanized Metal
please tell me how to paint
galvanized downspouts and gut
ters on my house." C. K. asks.
Answer = Galvanized metal
does not ordinarily require paint
ing unless it has started to show
signs of rusting or unless you
wish to change the color. All
rust must be removed down to-
bright metal. It should then be
primed with a special primer
available at paint stores or you
can use vinegar, which some
painters think Is even better.
Allow this to remain on the
surface for "a hours and then

Every summer we plan tc
build q patio in our yard and
then we never do it because il
requires masonry skills that we
are afraid we do not have. Can
you explain some simple method
of doing this work that viii moi
be beyond the ability of the
novice?" L.G.F. asks.
Answer - We have just the
right design for you and all
those other people who are
faced with the same problem
A brick patio is simple enough
for anyone to build. and since
no concrete or mortar is used,
you do not have to be a brick
layer to do a good job. Even
the excavation that is necessary
does not require a furniture
movers back as you only dig
to a depth of inches and that
is usually soft topSoil.
The materials you will need
are one cubic yard of sand and
670 bricks for each $50 square
feet Of area to be paved. You
also will need enough strips of
redwood lumber, A"x212" dressed
dimensions, to form a border
around the area.
Start the project by laying
out the area. Drive a stake at
each corner and stretch a string
around the stakes to form a
guide for removing the earth.
Then remove the earth within
the inclosure to a uniform
depth of 4 inches. Be sure to
keep the edges straight.
The. next step is to place the
sand to a depth of three inches.
This is really the most impor-
tant part of the job as the sand
must be perfectly level and
firmly packed. A board about
4 feet long, bolted to the
garden rake makes a good tool
for leveling the sand. Use string
to locate any high or low spots
and level these out. A lawn
roller will be big help in COM
pacting the sand.
The redwood strips are then
placed on edge on top of the
sand. You now are ready to lay
the bricks which are placed fiat
on the sand in any pattern that
you select. Here, uniformity of
spacing is very important for
pleasing appearance. If you will
get few pieces of lumber
dressed down to one-half inch
