From high aloft, the "bullhorn"

Jet engines start They whine
first, then scream as the planes

powered launching catapults.
No Mistakes
Flight deck men, with the eyes
and nimbleness of cats, scurry in
the black night, lodging jet blasts,
crawling under fuselages, hooking
up the plane to the catapult.
Up near the top of the island"
structure, the men in the control
room watch, give the signal.
The minute for launching is at
hand. Down on the right hand side
of the waiting jet an officer waves
an electrically illuminated wand in
a tight circle, telling the pilot to
run up his engine to full power.
The jets scream grows deafening.
The aircraft, still held in leash,
shakes even the stout steel flight
deck. Hot, blue flame streaks from
the tailpipe. Suddenly, the officer
crouches, points his wand to the
end of the flight deck. The catapult
snaps the multi-ton plane into fly
ing speed in three hundred feet of
run, hurling it out beyond the end
of the deck. Almost instantly, the
aircraft flashes from sight into the
night. And another follows hard
on it's heels. The mission is Off

DECEMBER 1857

Shout noa0! the mouths aoith loud acclaim
Take up the cry and send 1T forth;
May, breaking sa0eet her spring perfumes,
November, laundering from the North.
With hands appraised, as aOith one vodce,
They joined their notes IN grand accord;
Hail to December! sag they all.
1t gaze to earth Our Christ, the Lord!
j. K. Hoyt.
December, the last month of the year, al
ways comes in on a nostalgia note. The
name itself is derived from the Roman ten,
because December was the tenth month in
the ancient Roman calendar.
December brings with it many things
the end of long year, the shortest day in
the year, the beginning of Winter, Christmas
Eve, New Years Eve and, of course, Christ
mas Day itself
December has become an important COM
mercial month, and the over-commercialiZa-
ton of Christmas has made it a month many
business men depend upon to balance their
books, or bring in the profits for the year.
There are relatively few memorable histor-
ical dates in this month.
George Washington died on December IA,
1899. The Boston Tea Party took place on
December 16, 1773. The first successful
flight in an heavier-than-air machine, by the
Wright brothers, took place in North Caro-
lima on December II, 1908 Washington en-
1777, twenty-four miles northwest of Phila-
delphia.
Woodrow Wilson was born December %,
1856, at Staunton, Va. Andrew Johnson, the
seventeenth President of the United States,
was born in Raleigh, N. c., on December 29,
1903. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor,
bringing the United States into World War
ii, on December Z, 1941.
Winter will begin this year on December
21, at 1912 in the morning. A new moon
occurs on the same night, which means that
a crescent moon will be visible in the sky
on Christmas Eve and Christmas nights The
first quarter is reached on the 18th.
1t is always an impressive event when
December rolls around each year, because of
the furry of activity of the holiday season
anu the spirit which emerges, and because
this is the last month of the year. For those
who have left things undone in 1857 and
who would achieve them this year, and for
those who look back over the year and evalu-
ate their performance in life, the time is at
hand.

EATING HIGH ON THE HOG

The latest discoveries in the field of diet
and nutrition show conclusively that the diet
of the average American is poor excuse for
adequate fuel to run our bodies. Americans,
the richest people on earth, are one of the
worst fed.
BY that, we do not mean Americans fail
to consume enough calories or perhaps
enough vitamins. But they are prone to con-
sumo far too many carbohydrates, sweets
and fats.
Studies which have been made public in
recent years show that, during World War
III, when the percentage of fat was decreased
in the diets of various peoples, the ratio of
heart attack also was reduced. 1t has long
been known that refined sweets, such as
white sugar, are consumed in excessive guam
titles by most Americans. Likewise, we are
inclined to eat too much bread and too many
starches.
Many experts believe that if one would
refuse to eat any of the artificial sweets, such
as candy, refined sugar and so on, and make
his diet one of natural sweets (when sweets
are consumed), they would live longer and
be far more healthy. Natural sweets which
are good for ones health include molasses,
honey, fruits and other readily-available
items.

A MATTER OF CHOICE

Never in all history has there been an
other era which offered so many means of
escape from the troubling problems of daily
living. Never before has it been as easy as
it is now for men and women to seek relief
from their problems in the varied stimuli
of entertainpent and diversion.
Music is available in profusion. Reading
material of all sorts floods in upon us. That
miraculous and disturbing little box called
teevision stands ready to entertain at the
flick of switch. If that does not please us
we can go out to the movies. Our technology
provides an astonishing variety of games and
sports equipment.
1t is not suggested, by any means, that
this is bad thing. On the contrary, we who
live in this era should be grateful for the
unprecedented wealth of entertainment and
stimulation that surrounds us. AS is the
case with many other benefits, however,
there are attendant responsibilities.
The responsibility, here, is that of selec-
ton. What we choose to do with our leisure
time - what, in truth, we feed mind and
heart will eventually determine to large
extent the sort of people we become.
The man who fills his mind with froth
and trivia, who shies away from books and
music and drama with any depth of meaning,
cannot expect to develop understanding. To
the degree that he confines himself to what
is frivolous and cheap, or merely entertain
ing, he reduces his stature as human being
What it boils down to is that when we open
the treasure chest, we should choose from it
with care.

BETTER TRADE PROMOTION

BETTER TRADE PROMOTION
THERE IS MUCH that can be done to develop the tour
ist trade to the place where it brings even bigger returns and
thus help us along the road to economic self-sufGciency Much
has been said through the years, but little done. The time is
here to do something.
TON CUNNING, the Governors Executive Assistant
set out some cardinal principles in his talk some time ago
before the St Croix Chamber of Commerce. What he said
was not new, but is was revealing and most valuable. Just
how well local business, especially in st. Croix, has taken it
to heart is Just problematical.
BUT WEHRE DO we 60 from here? What do we do
to get rolling and take the greatest possible advantage of our
opportunities in this area? First, the ideas set out by MI. Gun
ming should be observed. Local businesses and hostehies
should sit down and work out plans for increasing and improv-
ing the type Of advertising which would sell these Islands,
and St. Croix, to the American public, The reading public
on the mainland, especially west of the Atlantic seaboard
should actually want to come to these Islands.
SECONDLY, THIS business group might work through
the local Chamber of Commerce. That body has a capable.
executive secretary whose duties might be increased in given
areas to serve certain ends. He might even be given addi-
tional clerical and other help, and be compensated for his
extra efforts.
ANY MENTION OF added expenditure always brings
raised eyebrows and cries of despair, but there IS no way in
the world to make money without spending money, and the
situation in the Virgin Islands is no exception. Instead OF go
ing out and employing someone to do the job why not utilize
the services Of someone already performing services along
those lines?
~HEeDETAIL of service and the like must be worked
ont bv those directly concerned. But it would seem that some
central core of activity must first be created, then all the
businesses directly concerned could give of their fullest sup
