Probationary Period
For Policemen
Now Six Months

The probationary period for
recruit" policemen has been re-
duced to six months, instead OF
one year. This action was taken
by the Director of Personnel at
the request of Commissioner of
Public Safety Leon MaWson.
The foregoing means that new
policemen will only have to serve
a working test period of six
months before becoming eligible
for permanent status. But more
important, says Personnel, 1t
means, that new policemen will
only have to wait six months be-
fore receiving a pay raise from
$1,000 per annum to $4,000, provid-
ed that the probationary period
IS completed satisfactorily.

Boy Scouts In
Campaign to Rdise
Funds. Build Org.

The local Boy Scout troops
have started a campaign to raise
funds and also to enlist eligible
boys into the several troops al
ready organized and additional
ones.
The. recent visit of Scouting Di-
rector Tadrowski spanked the
start of the campaign. Scouting is
for all boys, rich or poor, small
and large, white and colored,
Catholic, Protestant and Jew, for
all boys, between the ages of 8
through II.
This years goal for Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands, the latter
operates under Puerto Rico, is
SIPS, 900. According to a release
received f o headquarters,
scouting has a total membership
of over 900, 900 with over 1,000,-
600 Cub Scouts, Packs, Boy Scout
Troops and Explorer Posts. Of
this number Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands has an estimated
5000 enrolled in 200 troops.
In the United States one boy
in every five on the average, is a
Scout. This is twenty per cent of
all boys available. In some areas
four out of five boys are Scouts.
This year st. Croix sent two
Scouts, one leader and a liaison
officer to the fourth National Jam
boree at Valley Forge, Pennsyl-
vania.

Paper
Predicts End of
Curib. Commission

The Sunday Cleaner of Kings
ton, Jamaica, predicts the end OF
the Caribbean Commission, due
to the failure of the newly Great
ed Federation of the British West
Indies to support it. The article
states:
Zone of the important political
questions facing the West Indies
todayis whether or not the Ca
ribbean Commission should be
continued. This is dependent on
the decision of the British West
Indies. Towards the end of 1856
the four metropolitan govern
ments stated the intention of re-
constituting the Commission in
the light of the new constitutional
relationships in the Caribbean
area.
The views of Puerto Rico and
the French and Netherland terri
tories seem to be that the Com
mission should continue. The
United Kingdom, on the other
hand, has indicated that after
1858 it will not be able to finance
the Commission and that the
West Indies with their increasing
constitutional status must assume
the responsibility.
Except for Trinidad, the Com
mission does not mean much to
the British West Indies, and West
Indian leaders are wondering
whether it is worth the cost to
pay for the continuation of the
Commission. If many politicians
have their way, no attempt will
be made to provide the funds
from the already hardpressed and

Governments Invited
To Study Organized
Emigration

PORT OF SPAIN : Govern
ments of the countries served by
the Caribbean Commission are in
vited to study the possibilities OF
organized emigration in a recon-
mendation made by the recent
Conference on Population Prob
lens.
In discussing the whole ques-
ton of migration the Demo-
graphic Conference which was
called by the Caribbean Commits
sion in Trinidad recently, stated:
no amount of push will
result in migratory movements
unless there is an area which
exerts pull There must be either
jobs in industry, trade, services,
farms etc., or there must be land
available which will allow of set
Element under conditions which
app to the prospective
emigrant."
Enlarging on this view the con-
ference agreed that even slight
fluctuations in employment oppor
tunities in the receiving country
is dramatically reflected in the
reduce flow of emigrants to that
country. 1t gave as an example
the fact that emigration from
Puerto Rico to the United States
declined by nearly SO per cent be-
tween 1853 and 1854 as a result
of a slight business recession in
the United States.
With regard to settlement in
the mainland countries of British,
French and Dutch Guiana, the
conference considered that CAPT
tai was a major regulating factor
in emigration from other Carib-
bean countries. Capital was need
ed not only to develop the former
countries SO that employment
could be found for new settlers
there, but also to develop the So
cial services that would be need
ed for a population being
increased by immigration.
After these and other factors
were discussed, the conference
concluded:
Recognizing that there are
serious human, political and eco
nomic difficulties in planning
large-scale emigration to areas in
the Caribbean and outside the
region, but being of the opinion
that there are solution to the
problem, the conference feels
that these should be studied. The
conference therefore recommends
that "the Governments of the area
served by the Caribbean Commits
sion study the conditions under
w h i C h emigration a be
organized"

 There is nothing particularly new about tree farms, as such. for they are big business across the land. But the choose and cut" marketing system is something else again.
 It wasn't until 1856, when about 14 farms in the Santa Cruz Noun tains sold around 5000 trees, that the project started to pay off.
