NATIVE JEWELRY

va
THIS PAPER has for years been warning our readers
that opportunities we're being fritted away daily, and that.
unless something were done the time to retrieve anything
whatever would be lost. Mention has been made of preserves
from local fruits, the use of certain foods prepared to local
taste. drinks, soft and hard, of one kind or another, and
others.
THE WELCOME sight of a new jewery store in St.
Croix. which is an addition to the overall business picture OF
the place, brings to mind the wonderful opportunity which
MANY have to use native skill and ability in the jewelry bust
ness. Where are the goldsmiths of old? Where are the men
who made those wonderful bangles and bracelets OF twisted
design, many Of which are among the heirlooms OF many
outstanding local families? Is a native art being lost?
H NEW JEWELRY store will no doubt otter every
possible kind and type of machine made jeWelry and from
all over the world. Yet, to a place moving at the local pace,
there ought to be a place for the individual, personal skils
handed down from generation to generation. Nor is it nee
essary. that a new store supplant all this. 4 little understand
ing, coupled with good, sound business could solve all this.
For example, a feature which could bring much wholesome
publicity to this iewely store is the featuring OF handmade
articles Of iewelry such as was known to old ST Crolx, and
to many who visited these parts in years gone by. We see
no reason why the combination of the old and the new could
not be used to the greatest advantage OF all
THE DETAILS may not be recited here, nor are they
of immediate concern. What matters is that another oppor-
t,mitv be not lost to use native skill and ability, and thus
lose economic advantage to all

Interior Pushes Plan
To Turn 7 Pathways
Over 10 Maryland

The Interior Department is
stepping up efforts to transfer
the Baltimore Washington Park
way and the Suitland Parkway
to the State of Maryland.
In the event such a State
transfer falls through. the de-
partment wants the two Federal
roads to be transferred immedi-
ately from the National Park
Service to the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads.
These firm positions on two
major parkways were made clear
in testimony released today by
Federal park officials before a
House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee.
1t has been known for many
months that Interior officials are
anxious to dispose of the Federal
~ buiit roads on the ground
they are not a proper activity
for park officials. However, no
direct proposition has been made
to Maryland and State officials
repeatedly are cool to the idea.
Interior officials told the House
subcommittee:
Roads such as the Washing
ton-Baltimore Parkway and the
Suitland Parkway are distinctly
in the nature of highways re-
quiring none of the specialized
services inherent in the National
Park Service organization"
At the same time, the Interior
Department recommended, "as
expeditiously as is possible" the
transfer of responsibility for
building the proposed Jones
Point Alexandria bridge from
the Park Service to the Bureau
of Public Roads. President Eisen-
hover, when he signed a bill
authorizing the bridge, also sug-
gested this transfer.
The matter of getting the Park
Service out of the bodybuilding
and maintenance business was
brought up in a report filed by
Interior with the subcommittee
on future policy for all park
roads and parkways.
The report urged that roads
within national parks be retained
under Park Service control. AS
for Federal parkways other than
the Suitland and Baltimore
Washington. the report said ad-
ditional study is needed before
specific recommendations can be
made. In this latter category is
the George Washington Memo
rial parkway, planned along both
sides Of the Potomac as far up
river as Great Falls.
In the testimony, Park Direc-
tor Conrad L. Wirth also told
Congress comparative cost
studies are being made as be-
tween a bridge and a Potomac
traffic tunnel in the vicinity of
Lincoln Memorial.
Congress has authorized Dis
trict construction of the bridge.
extending from Constitution ave-
nue.. but many Federal officials
favor tunnel which would not
mar the historic landscape.
Maybe it might be considered
a possibility that the Federal
Government would put up some
money" to make up the differ
ence in cost between a bridge
and tunnel, Mr.. With told the
committee. He stressed he was
making no such request at the
present time. however.

three-hour meeting. He did not
disclose his groups specific rec
ommendation. Col. Fondahl is
an ex-ofiicio member Of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Cleveland said the rec
ommendation would serve as q
budapest for the Commissioners
and did not represent a detailed
plan. He said he was seeking
a meeting with the Commission
ers today.
Col. Fondahl favors execution
outside a four-mile radius OF
the center target area to shell
tiers, rather than long distance
evacuation from the center OF
the city. where there would be
no protection against radioac-
tive fallout.
