WE ARE BLEST

AS A GENERAL rule people everywhere take their own
good fortune for granted, thus often forgetting of even dis
regarding the very values which are constantly present. A
case in point for these Islands is the glorious climate.
BETWEEN NOW the early days Of June many
parts of the United States are, and will. be suffering from
floods. AS the SHOWS melt, the rivers SWELL OVERLOOKING their
banks and w~reaking destruction in their roaring paths. Al
most every day readers are reminded Of these conditions,
and some Of these conditions even reach the point Of disaster.
DURING H PAST week certain areas of West Vr-
ginia, Virginia, Tennessee and Pennsylvania were declared
disaster areas by President Eisenhower emitting them to fed
eral relief. Damage was estimated in the millions.
AND EARLIER this month the President made a flying
trip to sections of the Southwest to inspect drought areas
great portions of the land of the states in that section reduced
to dust. Congress was asked for funds to initiate a program
for relief to the distressed farmers.
WEATHERWISE, WE IN this part Of the world are
blessed. Of course there is the dry season and the rainy
season. but neither is such as to subject us to disaster. OF the
two seasons, the dry one is perhaps the more serious since
it comes at a time when early planting would insure good
CROP returns. The rainy season is also one in which no real
danger is seen, for while showers come frequently, and in
some instances more than may be necessary, yet slight in
convenience may be all that can be chalked up to this season.
RETURNING TO THE dry season, attempts to ease the
situation have been made, but not enough, nor over long
enouoh a period. 1t has been said that proper soil conserva-
ton methods and farming practices could have helped
considerably.
SEAL THAT as it might, we il. this part are blessed
when if comes to climate. In fact, there is such uniformity
that one hotel even nsures the weather with a famed nsur-

i PUBLICATION
LATE LAST N a new D,

LATE LAST MONTH a new publication made its
appearance in these parts. The event went by practical
~ u%nnoticed, except for word or two here and there
in the press, and even then the public did not seem to
be too concerned about it The publication was The
Sentinel" official organ of the Department of Safety,
or what is known elsewhere as the Police Department.
THIS PAPER IS an excellent idea and commenda-
ton is in order for Commissioner MaWson and those
closely allied with him in not only the idea, but the
preparation and final publication. After all, in a demo-
cracy the most important single factor is education =
a well informed public.
THE SENTINEL could go a long way in clarifying
many matters and in putting not only the Police Depart
ment, but many of its activities in their proper per-
spective. Unfortunately, there will be those who regard
any law-enforcement body with suspicion, and the term
"dirty "copper" used SO frequently in the movies, radio
and television indicates that a frustrated criminal is
giving expression to his feeling. But to the great major
ity of citizens, the officers Of the law are a vital part
of any government.
IN THESE PARTS there is much work to be done.
j. Antonio Jarvis, in one of his many books, noted that.
our people carry their feeling high on their shoulders,
or words to that effect. We are forced to agree. No doubt,
an official, and the Safety Department is no exception,
may nurture far too long even the kindest word OF dis
agreement, regardless of how well intentioned. Time
has come to move on. Whenever there has been an ex-
preston of difference with the Department it has been
in the best spirit. In that spirit, too, congratulations are
in order for a job well done.
THE SAFETY Department can take many other
steps, as it no doubt will. Among its many programs
could be the local counterpart of the Police Athletic

The influential Cupboard Boat
ing Club of America which
speaks for both manufacturers
and cupboard owners is prepared
to support federal legislation
that would require all outboards
under is feet to be numbered
for Identification. However, it
differs from the Bonner Com
mittee recommendation that the
job of numbering be handled ex-
clusively by the Coast Guard.
The latter has the responsibility
under present law for outboards
Is feet and over and all IN
board-powered craft.
OBC instead would like to see
the Coast Guard assign a series
of federal numbers to the States
and the States handle the issu-
ance to boat owners and collec-
ton Of fees.
No mention Is made by the
OBC Of an important recon-
mendation of the House commit
tee-the reregistration of all
powered craft at least every three
years. Vice Admiral Alfred Rich
mond. Coast Guard commandment.
stressed the need for periodic
renewal of numbering in order
TO keep records up to date. The
present one-shot system. he told
the committee last July. is not
working out.
OBC also makes no mention
in its policy statement Of the
recommendation that operators
of boats involved in serious ac-
cidents report to the nearest
Coast Guard office. And on the
proposal for giving the Coast
Guard authority to assess civil
penalties for reckless and neg
ligent boat operation. OBC pre-
fers to wait until the bill is
introduced.
The trade groups stand on
numbering came as somewhat OF
a surprise in the light of a recent
press release which told of a
48-State survey made some
months ago on various regula-
tory proposals. The survey found
that nearly 20 per cent OF those
responding opposed extension of
the numbering act to outboards.
The committee headed by
Representative Herbert Bonner
of North Carolina is praised by
