mind the close Of the Transfer Day festivities, and with that
come thoughts Of what the next decade might bring for
these Islands.
WHILE THE first 40 years have not been bad ones,
and while considerable Improvement has been noted
there can be no denying that we could have been much further
along the-way to economic, social and political self sufficiency
BUT THE QUESTION remains, how are these to be ac-
compished for example, within the next 10 years? There may
be no clear-cut answer. However, serious effort should be
made to bring about these accomplishments and the first
step in this direction is careful and thoughtful planning.
MOR THAN once the idea has come from this corner
for a master plan Of economic development with attention to
its many facets. Within the next 10 years, for example, broad
detectives should be for the. development of the tourist trade
TO the point where it brings in twice or three times as much
income, Agriculture should be 50 far along as to provide
employment for many and at the same time become the source
of much Of The. food we consume. That certainly is not too
much to ask. or expect.
AND EVERY phase Of our life, steps could be taken
to bring about Just what we want. But again. careful planning
NAV be the KEY to it all. With such plans, a timetable
should be set up, with intermediate points for accomplish
ments all along the way. Such a system would avoid the
temptation of putting off everything for the last minute.
IN FAITH and understanding we look towards the fu-
tme, proud and happy and grateful that we belong to, and
are a part of the greatest democracy on earth. That in Itself
makes life worth living.
