Campaign Underway
to Make St. Croix's
Candidate the Queen

Votes for Miss Melba Cane
gaia were delivered from St.
Thomas recently thus the
campaign to win votes for her
has begun. Of the nine candi-
dates for queen of the Virgin
Islands Carnival there is only
che contestant from this Is
land. Thus she is a truly "St.
Croix Candidate" and hope
has been expressed that her
support will be i~sland-wide.
Miss Canegata's candidacy
is being sponsored by the
Gentlemen of Jones', a group
noted for its philantropic ac-
tivities. In a message to every
one in st. Croix, through the
paper and by radio, Minnard
Jones, head of the group said
in part: "She is the only can
didate from st. Croix, l am
more than sure you will kindly
help us in making Miss Cane
gaia the Queen of Carnival"
Votes are being placed
where it would be convenient
for those who wish to pur-
chase them. Votes can be had
from Miss Canegata or Mrs.
Anna Brodhurst at the Avis
Office or telephone 40.

100 Year Old Coin
Found in Ruins ut
Hope

Two coins that are probab-
ly rare, were found in the
ruins of a foundation at Hol-
gers Hope, in Christiansted.
One is a U. S. "Half Dime"
dated 1857; a second coin is a
Danish five cent piece with
the profile of King Frederik
of Denmark on one side and
a Frigate under full sails,
dated 1859.
