ing your children slime con-
scious" by getting them to get up

is sleepy, he cannot do his best
work, so please, parents, get your
children to bed. early.

On Friday, Jan. q, Mrs. N. S.
Dawkins' fifth grade class went
on a field trip TO the Commercial
Bank in Edison Center to end

Editorial
IT CAN BE DONE

EVEN AFTER FOUR weeks people are still talking
about the Christmas Festival And the reason is obvious. In
deed, this past Festival was the best ever. AS if to put the
lie to the theory that cooperation and effective work are
scarce or unknown, the Festival was planned, organized and
carried out in grand style.
FROM THIS DIN forward there should be two
great festivals in these Islands, and this is a distinct possibil-
ity-in fact, it is desirable. Christmas is the time of year when
there is gaiety everywhere, when people put off their cares
and worries and attempt to join in and contribute to the
spirit Of the season, What time, therefore, could be more APP
propriate to help keep alive some Of our old customs and
manners relating specifically to our pasttime.
NOW THAT A new-and real-begnning has been made,
the way should be clear for even bigger and better things.
All sorts of lines were cut across in trying to get this past
years festival to its high point, and no doubt a refinement
and development Of what has already been accomplished
will come about in the future.
THE FOR GOING into the Festival the coopera-
ton, the sheer, hard work, the planning, are all essential
qualities which should 90 into community development, and
that is why there is SO much comment from this corner about
the Festival and its success. Put tersely, if this place can put
on a festival of the magnitude Of the last one, then what is to
prevent us from putting on such projects as a community
center, a fine race track, real scholarships in many fields, a
comprehensive island-wide home improvement and beauti-
fication program, and many, many more.
WHAT NEEDS TO be done may be done rather easily,
provided there is the willingness. That there is the ability
there can be no question. There was, however, some ques-
ton as to whether the requisite cooperation could be OBJ
tanned. The question is now resolved. Our people, if and when
they want. can come up with what is needed to make any
community. project a success. The proof The 1855 Christ

PUBLIC NOTICE

A little over a year ago the Virgin Islands Housing and
Redevelopment Authority advised the families living in the
Marley Homes housing project in Frederiksted, st Croix, that
they should attempt as soon as possible to find housing else
where, in order to make way for the proposed renovation of
the project.
While more than half the number of families that were
residing in the project at the time the advice was given have
vacated the premises, we find that there are still many IA
miles who have not yet left the project because they have
been unable to find housing elsewhere.
The Housing Authority has awarded a contract for the
renovation of this project to L. O. & Associates of Puerto
Rico, and this firm is now ready to proceed with the renova-
ton work. This cannot be done however, until ALL of the
families have left the project.
The Housing Authority recognizes that a serious hous-
ing shortage exists in the Frederiksted community and has
therefore, been very reluctant to evict the families living
in Marley Homes. Nevertheless, their continued occupancy
in the project. is causing a serious delay.
The Housing Authority therefore politely recommends
that landlords who may have houses available for rent in
the Frederiksted area, give preference to the families now
residing in the Marley Homes, who are all seeking places
to which they may move.
The Contractor has advised the Housing Authority that
practically all of the construction force will be recruited To-
cally. We therefore deem it advisable to point out that the
renovation of the Marley Homes, in addition to providing
modern housing facilities, will also be a source of employ
ment for a considerable number of persons in the Frederik-
sted community.
The Virgin Islands Housing and Redevelopment Author
ity soicts and will deeply appreciate the cooperation Of the
public in this connection.
