H ADMINISTRATION SHOULD CLEAR THE AIR
o MAN MONTHS now, this paper has been serious
" concerned about a situation brewing in St. Thomas be-
tween the Administration and one paper over there, and the
consequent danger that might result therefrom.
TO H ADMINISTRATION, especially since ii is
headed by a man Of Governor Alexanders temperament the
whole matter no doubt being dismissed a sthe work of
crankS and malcontents, and since, further, the Governor is
backed BY the Department of Interior and the President, this
attitude may be even more fortified. However, it is time to
call attention to it with the hope that the air be clarified.
ACCORDING TO THE paper the Governor and his adj
ministration are being made to appear indifferent, without a
proper sense Of direction, bunglng, and even vicious in its
attitude to the welfare and progress Of the people Of the
Virgin Islands. The Administration is accused Of ~by-passing
natives in order to give full play to political patronage with
out regard either to ability or qualification. The Administra-
ton IS being accused Of hardheadedness which could only
result in total prostration Of vital activities, and of proceed
ing with the type Of reorganization which is more fictional
than real
IN TIE INTEREST Of self respect, good will and even
fair public relations, the Administration should stir itself to
set the record straight Il is one thing to dismiss, or even
soft 1t a situation, it is another to recognize when it can
no longer he ignored in the best interest OF all concerned.
EVIDENTLY THERE is a caustic tone in the criticism
which pours forth from this one paper. Yeti the situations to
which it points have considerable truth, and can therefore
not be dismissed with impunity. And the paper takes time
out to call names give examples, and generally to support
its contentious.
BUT EVEN GREATER than the need to set the record
straight is the even more overriding need to maintain that
sense Of harmony and mutual sefrespect without which no
government can operate effectively. If the Government las it
evidently must) considers that it is on safe ground because

fulfilment of that end Just how many in these islands share
that thought is difficult to say at the moment, but it would
be a serious indictment to say that the Administration does
not know where it is going, or why. But it is equally impor-
tant that the people know that this plan, this sense Of direc-

tant part of the good it expects to accomplish is in sharing
its plan with the people and thus winning their confidence at
the very outset.

MONSTER iguanas peeked over their

the camera eye, sea lions held on to the
camera box with their fippers. The biggest
trouble the Walt Disney photographers had
when they were filming on Santa Re Island
in the Galapagos was getting far enough
away from the curious and comic animal
life TO be able to photograph it.
The island animals and birds were utterly
unafraid. Al night, owls formed a circle
around the crews camp fire, and viewed
them solemnly.
Giant turtles refused to move at their
approach. permitted themselves to be used
as camp chairs. Doves fiuttered so close that
the photographer-naturalist could have
caught them in their hands.
The cameramen were Conrad Hall, son Of
James Norman Hall, who was co-author
with Charles B. Nordhoff of ''Mutiny On
The Bounty" and Jack Coulter, biologist
at the Los Angeles Memorial Museum and
nature photographer. They have worked

Of animal life, was the paradox involving

Earns POntiff's Praise
Apostolic
Blessing
To Diocese

His Holiness, Pope Plus XII,
expresses his heartfelt graft
tude to the people of the Dio-
cese of Columbus, in q letter
received this week by Bishop
Ready.
The letter, written at the direc-
ton of the Holy Father by his sub
stitute Secretary of State Monsignor
Angelo Dell 'Acqua, is in acknowl-
edgement of the annual Peters
Pence offerings of the diocese
which this year totalled S32 .240.5
The 1855 donation is called a
'magnanimous gesture" by Monsig-
nor Dell 'Acqua. In testimony of
his warm gratitude the Holy Fa-
ther imparts his paternal Apostolic
Benediction upon Bishop Ready.
the clergy and laity of the Diocese
Of Columbus.
Ponfiff Grateful
Mindful of the multiple bless
ings which Divine Providence has
bestowed upon the Diocese of Co
lumbus," the letter reads, and
faithful to the tradition of gener-
osity which is its proud heritage,
Your Excellency and your priests
and flock have wished, by this mag
unanimous gesture. to give express
sion to your gratitude to Our Di-
vine Lord and to your devotion
and attachment to His Vicar on
earth.
His Holiness, deeply conscious
of the loving sacrifices that this
offering has entailed, would have
me assure Your Excellency of His
sincere appreciation and heartfelt
thankfulness for this very liberal
donation, in which He sees a wit
ness TO the faith of your people
snd renewed manifestation of
that fraternal charity which will
undoubtedly bring down upon them
ever-increasing blessings from Al
mighty God"
Each year on the third Sunday
of Lent the offerings of the faith
full in all parishes of the Diocese
are received for the Holy Father.
The collection is known as Peters
Pence.
Originally, it was a tax of a
penny on each house, and was col
lected on St. Peters day, from
which the name was derived. The
collection originated in England in
the eighth century.

this virtue is often corrupted
among modern day men.
We are prone to be prudent with
the prudence of the flesh, the Co
lumbus prelate declared, giving as
examples the parent who reasons
that It is unwise to send his chill
dren to parochial school, or the
businessman who believes that the
manipulation of certain stocks to
the ruination of his fellOwman is
perfectly justified because "busi-
ness is business" or the Catholic
who concludes that fasting and
abstinence are very inconvenient
and cut down on their efficiency.
"And how sadly often in our
day." Msgr. Glenn continued, do
we hear the whine of even young
people about security Caution,
foresight, shrewdness, reason, un-
derstanding are debased to the
single service of material wealth.

Old Take in Traditional Ceremony Honong Mary

This is May - the month of mothers -
the month of Mary
Throughout the diocese the Faithful -
young and old, gather to join the rest of the
world in paying homage to Mary - the Mo-
ther of God.
The devotion of Catholics to Mary is not
foolish nor is it unreasonable. Nor is it
sort of superstition. Further, it is not be-
stowal of alteration due to God alone upon
one of HIS creatures. Our love and venera-
ton of the Mother of Our Redeemer has just
as much to justify it as does the love and re-
spect we pay our parents, the Father of Our
Country, and other men and women who
mean much to us.
Since the Blessed Virgin gave birth to Our
Savior, to Him who is the Son of God, she is
deserving of our highest praise. Because of
this position which she has in the Redemption
of mankind she merits our special love and
devotion
If we consider this one aspect alone -
that she is the mother of Jesus Christ - this
is sufficient to elicit our love and reverence
for one so highly honored.
Mary is above all the saints; she is most
powerful before the throne of her Divine
Son It is no wonder, then, that we love her,
that we 90 to her continually to intercede
for us.

Present MissaIs
Not affected BY


VATICAN CITY Radio, NC)-
The recent simplification of the
rules governing recitation of the
Divine Office and use of the Ro-
man missal for Mass do not affect
the practical value of existing mis-
sails and breviaries.
A statement to this effect has
been made here by the Sacred
Congregation of Rites, which issued
the decree simplifying the rules.
The statement declared:
'It must be noted that such a
reform will still require several
years. Consequently, not only pres
ent breviaries and missals will
keep their practical value, but also
those which eventually may have
to be printed in the meantime. AS
prescribed in the decree, the latter
must conform in every respect to
the present texts"
