TOURISM STUDY

1OOTCOm O1OD
EARLY LAST MONTH the ST. Thomas Chamber
Of Commerce set out to poll it's members for information
with respect to tourist conditions in that Island and
whether it was a tourist trap SO far as members could
ascertain.
AS OF NOW NO word has been received as to the
findings of this study. But it would be a good thing to
analyze the results with a view to making whatever
changes may be necessary to correct and improve con-
ditions. Only in this way can tourist produce the most
for these Islands.
NHOSPITALITY AMI high prices seem to be the
two most delicate, and dangerous conditions affecting
the tourist trade, and the Chamber of Commerce is con-
cerned, as it should be. That is why a chamber of COM
merce exists, to look into these matters as elements of
self-preservation, and at the same time to move forward
for greater benefits and advantages for the business
community and the community as a whole.
HER IS A VERY real problem to be faced, and
the sooner the better. It is good, therefore, that the St.
Thomas Chamber of Commerce is tackling the problem,
and doing it in a commendable manner. This whole
thing could have been put on the wrong track, with
emotions and personal feeling running wild in all
directions.
TO ENJOY AND develop a real tourist trade care
must be taken to offer the greatest and Warmest possible
hospitality. A long, tedious process of education might
have to be gone into for best results. However, the
greater problem is that of offering acceptable accommo-
dations, including food and drink, at reasonable prices.
Since most of what we consume is imported, and since
freight rates are high, the merchant is then faced with
the problem Of Offering needed consumer goods at at
tractive prices, and vet make a reasonable profit on his
venture. r~~~4~ >

The Arlington League Of

crisis.

the league said: $
I'VE have not studied ana

ment OF yourself and our other
governing officials.
I'VE are convinced that our
governing ofhcials, whether
county. state or Federal. can
and must solve this problem by
methods other than the aban-
donment OF our public schools"
After pointing out that the
Arlington County Board has
taken a similar position on
the issue, the league went on to
urge Gov. Almond TO use every
honorable means at your dis
posal 10 support this effort Of
our local authorities TO preserve
public education as a Virginia
institution"
In the letter the league said
that the school system was
built by the labor Of many Viz
ginians for many years. II de-

Flee BIuze
In Hotel

A small fire in a fifth-fioor
storage room Of the Hamilton
Hotel sent about 400 guests
scurrying from their rooms
early today, many fleeing to
the street in night clothing.
No one was injured, but at
one point Deputy Police Chief
George r. Wallrodt said there
was concern lest the heavy
smoke filling rooms and cor
ridors would induce some To
leap from windows.
The first alarm from the
Fourteenth and K streets hotel
was turned In at 1859 am.
Twelve minutes later firemen
called for q second alarm.
Investigator Kermit Mullins
said the fire broke out in some
furniture, but il had not been
determined how. Damage from
fire, smoke and water in the
area was estimated at about
$4,000.
Firemen hurried through
the building knocking on rooms
to arouse guests who had not
heard the alarm bells. AS
smoke began pouring from the
windows, guests were seen
signaling from a high win
dow. All were able to reach
the ground floor through the
building, however.
Frank Mackler. 81. of
North Bellmore, Long Island,
was credited with turning in
the alarm. Mr.. Mackler. his
wife and children, David, IL,

just before the fire started.
Among those forced TO flee

pie Tree were entertained by
