youngsters could look forward
to competition with other stu
dents across the channel. The
inter-island meet not only gives
students an opportunity to
play baseball, basketball and
other sport events, but to
meet socially as well. We have
always felt that it should be
expanded to include other
events such as debating.
We believe that the event
is important enough to the

full that the legislature, when
it convenes in April, will
adopt the necessary legisla-

Journul Urges Inter
Isldnd Athletic Meets
Be Resumed

A few years ago the inter
island athletic meet between
the high schools of St. Croix
and St. Thomas was resumed,
after a lapse of many years. 1t
was believed that the event
would continue without inter-
ruption. But after one series
of games in st. Croix the
meet again folded.
We believe that everything
possible should be done to re-
sumo the athletic meet be-
tween the islands high schools
and to make sure that it con-
tinues year after year with
out interruption.
The games are important
for a number of reasons. 1t
helps to bring the islands
together, promoting inter-is-
land goodwill & formulating
friendships which barriers,
fears, distrust and jealousies
which have kept the islands
too far apart are obliterated
when Crucians and st. Tho
mians get to know each other
by forming warm friendships
come to realize that the other
fellow does not have horns
after all.
1t is disappointing to note
the serious decline in sports
in our schools. Time was when
the high schools produced the
islands brightest sport stars
and completely dominated the
local sports scene. Today, it is
seldom that the schools pro-
duee teams to participate in
any league.
We believe that there will
be a great upsurge in sports

County Charter
Amendment Is
November 5 Issue
BY J. r. Conway

House Resolution No. 18, a pro-
posed amendment to the Ohio
constitution, will appear on a spe-
cial ballot in the coming November
election. The residents of Madi-
son County will have the oppor-
tunity to vote on the measure
which would make "county-char-
ter" government possible all over
Ohio.
The amendment would remove
a single requirement in the present
law which has proven to be too
complicated, proponents of the am
mendment have stated. The present
requirement states that majority
vote in each of the combined total
of municipalities and townships in
a county be required before a coun-
ty charter can be approved.
While the proposed amendment
does not directly affect any but
Franklin, Cuyahoga and Hamilton
Counties, it needs the support of all
voters in Ohio if the change is to be
made. In any event, local county
charter government must still be
put to vote of the people at a
regular election, it was said.
Roger Cloud, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, has stat
ed that the huge expansion of pop
ulation and industry in Ohio has
caused severe governmental prob
lens and that these problems
should be met through local legis-
lation instead of top down" state
legislation. "The Ohio Legislature
felt that it was much to be prefer
red that ways be found to enable
local governments, by a vote of
their own people, to meet public
needs and thus reduce the demand
that state government intervene.
Speaker Cloud said.
1t was further pointed out that a
Yes vote on the issue, while af-
fecting only those counties men
toned at the present time, would
make county charter" government
more easily obtainable in the fu-
ture for all of the remaining eigh-
ty-five counties.
