approached our state legislature
with a bin which sought 10 bring

segregation in housing The bill
which we presented had as It's

THINK TT OVER, DR.. HALL

HMM IL OVER,H LIN. HALL
THE LIKES OF DR.. Fairfax Hall, Municipal physi-
clan for St. Croix, should never have come to these
shores.
EVEN AFTER MANY days of reflection on the part
of many, the behavior OF Dr.. Hall is still bringing un-
favorable comments, many coupled with the hope that
somehow this public servant might find it in his heart
to retire to the comforts and complacency of his adopted
tropical home.
THE CONCEN HERR is not with DR.. Halls profess
sional services. Let that be made clear at the outset.
What disturbs is his attitude, which is puzzling to I'M
derstand. Ordinarily, people do not get on the telephone
and call a doctor just for the fun Of il. Of course, the de-
gree of seriousness will vary with the individual patient
involved. Some will naturally call more readily than
others, but that is due in large measure to the desire to
take the necessary p~recaution rather than to wait until
it is too late.
1T is OUR BELIEF that DR.. Hall has found condi-
lions favorable enough, both in and out OF the hospital.
His problems as a professional are no more difficult here
than elsewhere, in fact, they might be easier to cope
with. At least he has a ~hospitable people with which to
deal.
BUT OVER AND above what ought or ought not to
be is the deep, almost insatisable desire to help suffering
humanity. That is always the first of physicians con-
siderations. Of course there will be annoying circum-
stances, and OF course people will be unnecessarily
difficult to deal with at times, but, it seems to us, the
handling of these conditions is largely within the doc
tors control.
IT MAY NOT be too late for DR.. Hall to respond to
the still small voice which must have whispered within
His duty is to relieve the suffering Of humanity, and this

The way to make money is TO
invest in corporations in some new
industry Of permanent value. When
! was a boy, it was the railroads
that held the glamour: later, water
power and the development of
electricity. Recently it has been the
automobile; but the future will deal
with the discovery Of unknown
wealth under lakes. rivers, and
oceans. Thus far this has been done
by haphazard dredging. but in the
future 1t will be done by under
water diving.
Therefore. if you are buying
property today, try to get some
waterfront. If you own waterfront,
do not sell it, To make money in
any investment. buy into some
thing for which the demand will
increase and where the supply is
more or less limited. The reason
our dollars will gradually become
OF less value is because they can
be printed in unlimited supply. The
reverse is true of good waterfront
property.

While declines have taken place

advance has taken place in motor
