The new First Lady OF the Virgin Islands, Mrs. John David Mer-
win, is indeed an extremely charming person. Modest and unassum-
ing-she IS beautiful too.
Once again, it seems that His Excellency, the GovernorS has
everything in his favor.
The Virgin Islands row has two Rotary clubs-one in ST. Tho
mas and one in. st. Croix
1t is not generally known, but Rotary Clubs were permitted to
name their clubs only after Post Ohces-that is: Christiansted,
Frederiksted or Charlotte Amaie, etc.
The ST. Thomas group, / am told, argued for a change; SO did
the st. Croix group, which sent their president, the distinguished
Van B. Hooper to talk to the Rotary brass" in person. Now the rule
has been changed-We now have the Rotary Club of St. Thomas and
the Rotary Club of st. Croix.

Every effort should be made to make the ST Croix Christmas
Festival a tremendous success. It. is hoped that there viii be no RI
valry between the committees of the two towns. In such an event,
we'll all look ridiculous.
Why not a laison between the committees-thoso who lva IA
Christiansed and the visitors will want to see and eniov everything
that goes on in Frederiksted, in addition to enjoying the ffteen-mile
ride. And those in Frederiksted will want to 60 to Christiansted to
see and enjoy the programs there too.
