 Asked as to the main difficulties encountered in an operation of this kind, Art stated unhesitat- ingly Man. Most of his crew as stated have been with the firm for several years. As one instance of the value of "know-how''. those islands you have possib4y noticed at low tide, were caused by crewrnan allowing the discharge to remain in one place too long practice not loEg tolerated from an experienced crew member. The pipe float is held in position by two anchors and all that's neces- Sary is to adjust them for position desired.
 And now for word about the project itself. Dredging is now complete in the area adjacent to Kraft's store, as the depth dredged was s feet below mean low low water, compared to a minimum of 12 over most of the basin. The work is progressing very rapidly and it is estimated will be about 85 per cent completed by Decem- Der 21.

Fifty five Men from

For Armed Forces

On January 10th, 28 men
from st. Thomas and q men
from ST. Croix will be forward
ed for physical examination to
the Armed Forces Examining
a n d Induction Station in
Puerto Rico. OF these 55 men,
5 will be offered immediate
induction, in addition to lno-
cencio Ortiz-C amacho who is
also leaving ST. Croix on the
same day, and is already
examined and found accept
able for induction.
In making this announce
ment, the Director of Selec-
tive Service for the Virgin
Islands said that as of the end
of 1856, registration figures
were considerably below nor
NAL. Against a normal annual
increase of 40, the ST Thomas
and st. John board tailed
only 100. The St. Croix board
did. slightly better, with 1O4
registrants of 10 year olds
against a normal of 100.

The lack of large examina-
tons and inductions at the
present time in no way relieve
citizens reaching Is years of
age or aliens having residence

EDITO RIAL
HAMILTON

IT IS MOST FITTING that we observe the bicentennial
Of the birth Of Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary Of the
Treasury of the United States in George Washington'S cabi-
net. While St. Croix was not the place OF HamitonS birth
he was born in Nevis, January II, l757 it was here that he
spent his boyhood, received his early training and showed
the first signs of having the genius Of figures and things
financial.
HAMILTONS BIOGRAPHIES have devoted much
time and attention to the circumstances Of his birth, but that
does not seem to detract very much from his contributions
to the solidarity of the financial structure of the new nation.
What we here are concerned with is the fact that these Is
lands should have played a rather significant part in the early
life of SO great a figure on the American scene.
SUI HAT ARE WE doing about it? Is there a monu-
ment to Alexander Hamilton anywhere in ST. Croix? Is his
early training ground, the store of Nicolas Cruger (he count
ing house as it was known) being considered as a permanent
museum, or even a part of it? Has a commemorative stamp
being issued showing this place of business?
NO DOUBT DURIN this week set aside for obser-
vance many words will be spoken about Alexander Hamilton
and his connection with this place, but what about after?
1t would be nice if somehow the local library could have Sc
cured an early copy of the Federalist essays for which Hamil-
ton was SO largely responsible. These papers, it will be
recalled, are considered a classic commentary on American
constitutional law.
THERE IS R to be done than ~proclaiming a week.
But it must be done here and by the people of this Island.
During the week much thought can be given, and perhaps
something concrete will come forth.
TITS TO THE credit of these Islands that a significant
role was played in the life Of SO distinguished an American.
The impact Of history should make itself felt upon us to the
point where definite action is taken.
