Judge Gordon, distinguished
guests, fellow Virgin Islanders:
IN ancient Greece the marathon
was a relay race Of tremendous
Importance. In the marathon each
runner would carry a torch a GER
tain distance and then turn it
over to him whose responsibility
it was to carry it the next lap.
Yet, it is significant to note that.
the outcome Of the marathon de-
pended on the performance not
of one but rather on the cumula-
tive accomplishment of all who
participated.
So it. is with the affairs of a
nation or of a community. VIZ
eseh have the responsibility for
taking up where someone has left
off and of carrying the torch IN
til it is time to turn it over to
another. What we do in our time
will, OF course determine what
those who follow us will have to
face. It is my earnest prayer that
my efforts may contribute credit
ably to the overall progress Of
the Islands ii the years that lie
aheal.

this distinguished gathering, I
feel that it is fitting first to pay
tribute to the great American

AS he moves on to service as

CHICAGO = Up = Adolph Kie-
fer, the 1896 Olymic 1OO-meter
backstroke champion, still is in
the swim.
In fact, in or out of the water,
Kiefer is doing his bit to advance
swimming as a sport and recrea-
ton.
A member of the 1853. Pan Am
erican Games swimming commit
tee, Kiefer says Chicago is plan
ming big things for the games and
will try to make its Latin Ameri-
can guests at home just as his own
family is, in the water.
The swimming Kiefers include
Dale, IA, high school freshman
and top swim competitor; Jack,
IL; Kathy. 9, and Gail, 6. Mrs.
Kiefer formerly performed in wa
ter ballet.
"We want to do as well as Mex
leo City where the terrific Pan
American games were held in
1885," Kiefer said between dips in
pool with his children.
Both Dale and Jack already are
breaking records as they prove
themselves chips off the old block.
In age group competition, Dale
has accomplished the breaststroke,
backstroke, free style, butterfly
and individual medley-a combina-
tion of several strokes.

Quality Controls
Intake OF Forage

The quantity of forage you can
get. into COW is controlled largely
by the quality of the forage accord
ing to William H. Henderson, Sus-
sex County Agricultural Agent.
On excellent pasture. an average
COW will eat IL percent of her own
weight in forage in a day. If the
pasture is suffering from over
grazing or is too mature from lack
of grazing, the same COW will only
eat about five percent of her own
weight in forage.
If COW weighs 1900 pounds, the
difference in her intake on excel
lent and poor pasture will be about
IS pounds of roughage. Intake on
top quality grazing will be around
145 pounds and only go pounds OH
poor pasture.
Mr.. Henderson says this gives
some indication of the need for
supplementary feeding when your
cows are on medium and lower
grades of pasture

lent, Kiefer plans to install new
25 by 60-foot pool in the back
yard of his Northfeld, ILL.,, home
I'VE expect to have all the
swimmers over to utilize it. 1t
will be strictly a training pool,
says Mrs. Kiefer. "Then we'll have
an hour just for bathers."
Kiefer says the secret in teach
ing swimming is to start child
early, at age 6 or Z.
"Once you've overcome fear, you
can teach them anything; that's
the reason we'd like to get par
ents interested. With 10 million
boats, our vacations are going to
be more and more on the water, "
he says.
Kiefer's interest in swimming
includes a going firm which dis
tributes 5000 items such as life
Jackets, race lanes and diving
boards. His plant at Minnapolis,
Mimi, also produces water skis,
surf boards and small sailboats.
Adolph started swimming in 1894
in Texas at age Is. He broke his
first world record as a sophomore
at Roosevelt High in Chicago. II
was the 150-yard backstroke.
He swan for II years in national
competition and lost only one race
in 1945 to backstroker Harry Holi-

While serving with the Navy
