TO do this will mean a departure from what we have
fdoneSn the past. But we must do il because the period that we
are living in calls for this drastic change if we arctic survive
as a Free People. ss
When we read the daily newspapers it is not uncommon
to find articles about planned trip into o~uterspace or q probe
TO the moon &c a Planet. We also see the Federal Government
setting up a space agency and huge sums appropriated for this
development. It is highly possible that within the life span
of most Of you graduates that.this inter-pIanetary travel will
be a reality. We have already seen pictures and read about
rockets shot into outer space and about artificial satellites or
biting the earth. Sufficient scientific data has already been
gathered to permit living animals to be shot into space and
be recovered alive. Therefore we know that we may be on the,
threshold Of one Of the greatest scientific eras the world has
ever experienced. Wet here in the Virgin Islands should GER
tainly try and qualify our youths, SO that those who show
ability will not be denied the opportunity to become an out
standing scientist, or engineer. AS have stated before many
new words are today very common even though they were.
unheard Of q few years ago. Tonight. as you stand here to re-
ceive your diplomas you are standing on the so called launch
ing pad" Some of you may go on to higher education in Col
leges and ascend to much greater heights and bring fame and
honor to our Virgin Island home. Others may escape a bit.
above the launching pad. My advice to you tonight is that you
make tvery attempt to get off the Launching pad" don't let
il be yohr permanent resting place. Compare yourself to the.
various rockets that you have seen in the moving pictures or
read about. Due to technica difficulties some. have not been
able to get eli. others failed after getting off, while those that
did function properly left the Launching pad and assembled
to great heights. Your teachers may be compared to the tech
nicians who handle the launching Of these rockets, and to the
scientists who design and build these rockets.
If there is a malfunction or a technical failure, then the
also fails The technicians play animportant part in the
successful launching OF the rocket. The technician and scien-
lmeaning the teachers in our school system handling they
launching Of these rockets (neaning our stndents) must be
properly trained and be proficient in their Jobs
Tonight we are witnessing the acountdown.' The future
will reveal how many Of you will leave the sIaunchingP PAD

Miller Calls For
More Individual
Responsibility

BOZEMAN-Speaking at a Girls
State banquet, Wednesday, Supt. ot
Public Instruction Harriet Miller
called for increased individual re-
sponsibility for government.
THE popular trend toward re-
garding The Government as a super
being apart from the people is in
creasingly endangering our American
system and even our basic freedoms -
Miss Miller warned.
"The something for nothing myth
which fosters constantly-growing de-
mands for expanded government serv-
ices without increased taxes also fost-
ers responsibility and apathy" she
stated.
"Individuals must keep aware of
the fact that The Government is not
the officials or the legislature or the
Congress, but is merely a system re-
flecting the will of the people and
financed by the taxpayers. No gov
ernment services, whether it is local.
state or federal, is free of charge"
the state superintendent pointed out.

Presidential Politics-Vice Presi
dent Nixon has revamped his entire
1860 campaign strategy. Once he as
sumed the Republican presidential
nomination was all sewed up. Now he
assumes he is in for hot political
fight and one that he might lose.
The obvious cause for alarm: Mel
son Rockefeller's 1853 election vic
tory in New York. More immediate
cause for alarm: Judson Morhouse,
the New York Republican chairman,
has just had himself released" from
state affairs by designating an as
sistant to handle local patronage.
Morhouse is getting ready to travel
around the country.
These are all part of Rockefeller
campaign which causes nightmares in
the Nixon camp.
The Vice President is swallowing
hard these days, but still keeping
quiet about internal disagreements
with other big-wigs in the Eisen-
hover Administration. He was dis
pleased by the decision to send DIR.
Milton Eisenhower along with him on
his trip to Russia. He not only has

he favored Rockefeller for President.
He left that to the imagination of
his listeners.
The Defeatist In Nixon-There will
be new biography of Nixon out in
few days by Earl Mazo, national
political correspondent of The New
York Herald Tribune (Harper, $3.95).
On the whole it is quite friendly and
the author forgives Nixon his "sins'.
At the end of the book there is an
appendix of off-the-record" remarks
Nixon has made in the last two years.
Some of these comments are more
revealing of the Nixon character than
anything his friends or critics have
said about him. The following ex-
cerpts gives you some idea how wor-
ried Nixon is about being tagged a
"loser''

important" he said, 4 always have

individual with only a superficial

and international issues, could get

The Democratic Dilemma-Among
he Democrats, the big puzzler still
seems to be Lyndon B. Johnson. the
Senate Majority Leader. Is he really
serious about running? 1t seems un-
'elievable in view of the record the
urrent Congress is making-or not
making. Democratic National Chair

Southwesterner, is likely to be NOM

Butler is by no means alone in

Northern civic and welfare organiza-
ions have virtually challenged John
on not to stand in the way of a
trong civil rights bill, or simply
oncede that he is too sectional in his
iewpoint to run for national office.
Johnson, of course, does not reply

FRANKLY SPEAKING

This column is a plot to try and ge
straighter news stories from me ii
the other-FS space. The Editor OF
this paper is very serious minded
about his work and is of the old schoo
that thinks newspaper is something
more than sanitary product to wrap
garbage in.
Henceforth all my garbage will be
collected under this heading.
The garbage in the first column
last week came a little late. Richard
Little has left the Children's Center
in Twin Bridges to take over the
Orphans home in Arizona. My feel
ings about the matter were pretty
well covered last week but l guess
some of the other stuff I've been
holding back, because it didn't seem
to fit into even the stories I've been
writing, is to the detriment of Mon
tana.
For example, the Ebasco boys. The
information that they were hired
after the legislature was out of ses-
sion was not originally a move to
white wash the Highway Department
following revelations by the Brad
ford Investigating Committee. The
Highway Commission had interviewed
them several times before the legis-
lature began but kept mum about the
plan to hire them until the Chicks
had gone home.
Ebasco teams work very we'll in

have to do is figure what irritates the

ernor, and responsible for the appoint
ment of Mr.. Burns and the others
on the commission, must take a stand
to protect the people of the State of
Montana from the reckless and ex-
travagant wasting of the taxpayers
money, as we'll as from disregard for
human rights and destruction of the
resources of this state, all of which
was pointed out by the legislative
Highway Investigating Committee. 1t
would seem you should demand the
resignation of the highway commits
sion. To remain silent while such high
handed tactics are being employed
by this commission as announced by
its Chairman would lead to no other
conclusion than that you endorse this
waste of the taxpayers money and
reckless disregard for the rights of
the people involved.
81 note further that Mr.. Burns
told Billings audience that the in
vestigating committee of the last
legislature was an attempt by forces
of the commission. If this charge
is true, you, as Governor, should
warn the people as to who these
outside forces are that are trying
to take over our highway commits
sion, and use every means at your
command to stamp them out. know
of no such influences, and Mr..
Burns in his testimony before the
legislative committee made no ref
erence to such forces.
"You are undoubtedly aware of Mr..
Burns statement that Horace Will
Jams has been relieved of his present
osition with the highway department
nd has been reduced to the position
f a glorified janitor. This is his re-
vard for 80 years of faithful service
D the highway department and doubt
ess because his testimony before the
lvestigating committee pointed out
ne tremendous waste of highway
lnds and because he proposed
oute for the interstate highway from
filings to Livingston that would be t
miles shorter than the valley route ,
nd millions of dollars cheaper, and !
ould not in large part destroy the
of the valley. 1t would seem
range to me that it would take 32
ears to find that Mr.. Williams was
1T capable of handling his job and
at it would take the Ebasco Serv-
es to point out to the commission,
nich has been in office for years.
i'd the highway engineer who has
zen in the highway service for many
ars, that Mr.. Williams was incap-

ey are also incompetent to hold
