Virgin Islunds Ndt'l
Site in C'sted Posses
4th Anniversary

Sunday, March 18th, last was
the fourth anniversary of the
designation of the Virgin IS
lands National Historic Site in
Christiansted, ST. Croix, by
the Secretary of the Interior,
Park Historian Herbert Olsen,
announced.
The movement to preserve
the Wharf area and its build
ings and Government House
began almost eight years ago
when a number of interested
citizens banded themselves to-
gether to form the st. Croix
Landmarks League. AS a re-
suit Of the efforts of the Land
marks League and other inter
ested persons, the Municipal
Council passed an ordinance
on December 20, 1851, author
izing the Governor of the Vir-
gin Islands to enter into a CO.
operative agreement with the
Secretary Of the Interior, act
ing on behalf of the United
States Of America, for the pre-
servation Of this historic area
and its buildings.
On February II, 1852, the
Secretary of the Interior and
the Governor of the Virgin
Islands signed the cooperative
agreement; and on March 4,
1852, the Secretary of the In
terror designated the Wharf
area and its buildings and
Government House in Chris
tiansted as the Virgin Islands
National Historic Site.
The principal aims Of the
cooperative agreement are to
preserve and maintain the
Wharf area and its buildings

IT'S STEVENSON AGAIN

#M# M##
AS ALL POLLS had indicated even before the Demo
cratic National Convention, AdIai F. Stevenson won the nomi
nation for the Presidency. There was a fight, however. on
the floor Of the Convention, and much ehind-thescene
poIticking after former President Truman came out for Gov
ernor Hartman Of New York.
FEW EXPECTED Hartman to win the nomination, as
indeed he, himself, could not have taken his chances serious
y. From the very beginning he seemed dsnterested, only
later claiming himself an ~uncommitted candidate. Then as
the convention time neared, he set himself abaze as he ueked
across country seeking convention votes.
FORMER PRESIDENT Truman's advocacy Of Harri
man seemed to throw a monkey wrench in the works. Most
experienced observers admitted that Halrman did not have
a chance, and that the most Truman could do was to conduct
a stop7Stevenson drive, which was almost successful. With
this stop5Stevenson drive. dark horses doomed large and fa
vorite son candidates seemed to come to the fore.
BUT STEVENSON went to the Convention too strong
and well entrenched. He proved that he could be a good
loser, as evidenced by his defeat IN the Minnesota primary
that he could get off the floor and fight and win, as many
primaries proved, chiefly Florida and California. Then, too
he had many. influential Democrats in his corner, including
such stalwarts as Mrs. Roosevelt, the Governors Of Pennsyl
vania, Michigan, and Minnesota, to say nothing Of many in
dependent delegates.
WHEN TRUMAN came out for Hartman Stevenson
got e further boost in that he then became the lesser Of two
evils, so far as the South was concerned because that section
definitely did not want Hartman.
TWAS CLEAR that in 1856, moderation would set the
tone, and Stevenson had al along expressed himself il terms
Of moderation. Since bis 1852 Try at the nomination he has
learned much, and worked hard to create party unity, remain-
ing the titular head Of the party, and an active one.
WHETHER HE wins the election is something else

again, because he Is pitted against the one and only man
who could beat him, but 50 far as the Democrats are con
cerned il was clear from the outset that AdIai Stevenson

FAMOUS FABLES
BY Z. E. EDGAR

ARRANGEMENTS. In 1892
when Stanford University and
the University of California were
to play their first football game,
a young Stanford undergraduate
was chosen by his fellow students
to make the arrangements at
their end.
After arranging for uniforms,
on credit. he and his California
counterpart rented a baseball
field in San Francisco. With
some misgivings, he ordered
5000 tickets. This he felt was
a wildly optimistic estimate.
The night before the game,
however. the streets Of San
Francisco we're turned into a
bedlam. Students from both
schools led noisy partisan pa
rades up and down. The follow
ing morning. there was a long
line in front Of the box office
The 5000 tickets were quickly
sold, and still the demand con-
tinued.

A Few Simple Rules
Here are a few simple rules
that help overcome unnatural
fatigue:
Slow down. Live within the
limits Of your physical. mental
and emotional capabilities. To
be specific, getting into the
snooze habit will help-the Sun
day-afternoon snooze; the after
lunch snooze: the snooze before
going out at night that viii make
you the life Of the party. So will
cutting down on the amount of
your work and taking part in
fewer extra-curricular activities.
Be jealous of your vacations.
Eat q well-balanced diet-but
don't overeat.
Find your essential sleep
rhythm. Some people require
only six hours of sleep-others
a minimum Of nine.
II you have tried these meas
ures and still feel tired. better
consult your doctor for q check
up. There may be physical
causes undernutrition, anemia or
underactive thyroid. Also. a.
checkup may uncover and hence
help eradicate serious organic
disease at its very beginning.
Whatever the cause Of your
lack of bounce and vitality, ac-I
cept the fact that bounce neces-
sariJy lessons with increasing
age. There Is no need for NOR
bid depression when we realize
that youthful recuperative pow
ers are only for the youthful
and not for the old. Things
aren't so bad as they seem.
AS Earnest Elmo Calkins once
said: 'Given three requisites
means Of existence. reasonable
health and an absorbing interest
those years beyond so can be
the happiest and most satisfying
of a lifetime"
Remember that no formula
can be made that will fit every
one. Age is relative. The man
of so says to the 4o-year-old:
Listen. young Teller" And the
teen-ager says TO the 30-year-
old: Listen. old mani"
Your calendar won't help you,
but a good workaday philosophy
of acceptance will.

for 1t, because it's with Raymond
Massey"
Grace had spent the summer
after her graduation from the
American Academy of Dramatic
Art with US in Ocean City,
N. j., then had returned to New
York to continue her career as
O model and to make the rounds
Of the managers Offices, looking
for parts on Broadway.
Too Tall for Parts
Everywhere she went. they told
Der the same thing:
You're very good. dear, but
you're too tall"
Grace is feet ~ inches. but
seems taller because of her erect
carriage (she is even a bit taller
than the Prince, who calls him
self "Shorty'). In those early
days, her height was a real
handicap. I remember many
times when she was close to
tears because her height had
kept her from getting jobs.
Thus the opportunity to ap-
pear with Massey, who is taller
than she. was the first break in
the theater. The play was
Strindberg's 1.-THE Father; it
starred Massey and Mady Chris
tianS, with Grace as the ingenue.
Her notices were good. and we
were all pleased.
That performance led to q
number Of acting jobs in tele-
vision plays. So much has been
written about Grace's career I
am not going to describe it
chronologically here. 1t is suf-
ficient to say that the TV per-
formances-on such programs as
Studio One, Robert Montgomery
Presents. etc.-led to her first
movie part, in Fourteen Hours, J"
and that in turn led her to
"High Noon" and that was the
beginning Of everything.
Quick Success
One year she was trudging
around New York, supporting
herself with modelling jobs and
the small parts she could get In
TV plays. One year later she
was the most sought-after in
dependent actress in the country
Every studio was after her to
sign a long-term contract.

that did it, and 1t was High
