ARMED FORCES DAY 1857

On May Is, 1857, the States, Territories, and Island Pos
sessions of the United States will join in the eighth annual
observance of Armed Forces Day. On that day our Nation
will direct public attention, through all available means, to
the occasion as a tribute to the teamwork of the Armed
Forces, and to the unity Of the American people"
There is a strong, historic significance in our merging
with the Nations appreciation our own deep respect for the
strength and continuing advancement of our Countrys forces.
For the Virgin Islands of the United States, essentially a
wavewashed outpost prominent in the national defense pat
tern, know intimately the power of the Armed Forces of the
United States as well as "the principle sfor which they stand
in the worldwide struggle for peace"
There is a day-today awareness in these Islands of the
courage, resourcefulness and physical proves Of the soldiers,
sailors, and airnen of the Nations forces. And this cognition
has been made even more urgent over the past decade, with
the welding Of Virgin Islands youth into the Armed Forces.
WHEREFORE, l. WALTER A. GORDON, Governor of
the Virgin Islands of the United States, do hereby proclaim
Saturday, May Is, 1857, as Armed Forces Day within the
Virgin Islands of the United States; and l call upon the peo-
pie of these Islands, by appropriate observances on that day,
to reflect upon the rich traditions of our Country's Forces
and to reconsecrate their appreciation of the Nations achieve
.n1ents in peace and in war.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set nv hand
caused the Seal Of the Government of the Virgin Islands to
be affixed at Charlotte Amalie, ST. Thomas, Virgin Islands of
the United States, this 9Th day of May, AID, 1857.

GOOD MATERIAL FOR THE FUTURE

T is GOOD to stop every now and again to take stock
Of what is happening in the several fields Of human endeavor
in these parts. Often we become so engrossed in what ought
to be done that there is the tendency to forget, or overlook,
what is being made.
SLOWLY, BUT STEADILY real progress is being made
pie are going to college after high school, and more boys and
girls are entering-and finishng-high school. This is a
healthy sign, and one which is most encouraging, to say the
least.
AS PROGRESS IS being made in this entire area, it has
become clear that our young people are branching out in
many fields and making their mark, For an area as small as
the Virgin Islands, there has been a most remarkable repre-
sentation in the colleges and universities of America.
AND THE OUTLOOK is even brighter. The recent win
ming Of an alI-Islands essay contest by young Winston An
thony BENJAMIN Hodge, son of MI. and Mrs. Rex Hodge OF
St. Croix, is not only remarkable, but most encouraging. This
kind of clear, alert, mind, put in the atmosphere OF a college
campus can be counted upon to do credit to itself, and all
connected with its fortunate owner.
TINE WAS WHEN official Washington could make the
claim, and with some justification, that there were not enough
trained natives to fill positions Of responsibility. Such claims
lack merit today, and within the very near future such a Sug-
pestion would lack any basis in fact.
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE being trained, and they are
bringing their training and influence to bear upon. the social
economic and political life of these Islands. And out OF all
This will likewise come the leadership which will certainly
point to a fuller and better Life.

BY DICK SLAY

The new road course at Mari.
boro Motor Raceway is said to
cost about $4,000 and-figura-
tively-it may have been built
just to suit the capabilities Of
the Porsche Spyder driven by
Charlie Wallace.
Wallace has gained his racing
reputation at Sebring and at ma
tional events of the Sports Car
Club Of America, not at MARI
boro. But the combination Of
this hot car, q course more than
doubled to a length of about 2
miles and Wallace's familiarity
with both make him a solid
favorite for the big prize Sunday.
So much so that even he admits
it.
At the SEGA meeting Tuesday
night someone drew UP a list of
drivers who should give Wallace
the most trouble in the inau-
gural event on the new layout
Sunday.
Dick Thompson's name was on
there. Of course. along with other
members Of this region like Paul
Norair. Duncan Black and Nick
Ryder. Thompson. national point

Corvette. will drive both produce

Ferrari, Black in his 4.5-litre

Cooper. All are excellent par
lays of man and machinery and
they know the course at least as
well as Wallace.
Drivers from outside the area
will familiarize themselves with
the course during practice Satur-
day. and in that category are
