returned from q more thar
7,000-mile trailboating triI
from coast to coast.
We set out with considerable
confidence because we thought
we knew q lot about trail.
boaing. In the last three years
we've pulled boats more thar
80, 900 miles.
However, this cross-country
junket took us down a peg
We found we still had a lot Il
learn.
Our trailer is fitted with five.
bolt. easily detachable wheels
and 6.00x9 tires.
My first mistake was due to 9
lack Of knowledge about trailer
tires. The tires I selected a.
requirements for the trip haC
a reassuring amount of rubber
on them. The treads were
nearly an inch thick and they
looked as though they woulc
outlast our car tires two to one
We followed our usual prac.
tice Of carrying a spare whee,
and tire. I don't like to tow
any distance without a spare
and strongly recommend q
spare trailer tire and wheel fol
every trailboater. Not even q
tow truck can haul your trailer
away with only one round
wheel on it.
For approximately three
quarters of our trip, we rolled
along merrily. Then the head
aches began.
Driving at relatively high
speed, but within the posted
speed limits for cars pulling
trailers out in the wildS Of
Wyoming, I suddenly heard 9
slapping on the trailer fender
The impressive-looking tread
though not worn at all, haC
parted from the fabric. Ever
before I could slow down, the
tire was stripped right down
to the inner liner.
1t seems these beefy-lookine
tires were designed for farm
implement use. Tractors and
farm trailers seldom roll al
more than a fast trot. Gallop-
ing over the road at so miles
per hour plus was just too much
for them.
The only lug wrench I had
was the one that came with
our car. It turned out to be
a shade larger than the Tugs
of our spare.
l pulled on it nightly and
drew up the Tugs on the spare
as tightly as I could. should
have stopped at the next service
station and had them tight
ened. but I didn't.
= 4 4
Several hundred miles far
ther on. the next noise I heard
was the trailer wheel parting
from the axle, tearing one fen
der of as it went. The wheel
took of like a big bird and
bounded across the range for
about a quarter mile.
We don't know where the
Tugs went. Though the way
ward wheel and tire seemed in
good condition, there was no
way to secure the wheel to the
hub assembly. OF course, we
had no extra Tugs.
We robbed the other trailer
wheel of two of its Tugs and
limped nervously 20 miles into
the nearest town at a snail's
pace.
I tried to buy new tires be-
cause both the spare we were
using and our remaining
good" one showed signs of
shedding their rubber.
That's when we learned an
other thing they don't tell you
in the how-to-do-it books.
Service stations and even ma
jor auto tire supply houses
don't stock boat trailer tires.
A two or three-day wait is re-
quired for special orders.
Most boat dealers don't stock
even the most basic replace
ment parts for trailers. We got
away with our difficulties with
only a loss of time and temper
A trailboater might not be so
lucky another time.
So from our near-tragic ex-
perience, I advise you to carry
your own spares.

COST OF LIVING

LOST Of LIVING
COST OF living in the Virgin Islands should
be of the most serious concern to government officials
and private citizens alike. Few, perhaps, have stopped
long enough to think about il, but unless the trend is
stopped we shall find ourselves in the most disturbing,
embarrassing and impossible situation of our lives.
1T IS QUITE good to study prices in Puerto Rico.
1t is also good to send committees, and have discussions,
but unless these reach to the core of the problem we
shall have wasted time, money, and effort. Put it what
ever way we please, this situation is a paradox. We have
no natural resources, and depend almost entirely on the
tourist trade and sugar for our income, and yet we are
to spend far beyond our means.
A SITUATION SUCH as we are heading for can
bring about one Of two deadly results. First, it can con-
vert the place into a bigots paradise by making sure
that we sell everything in exchange for our basic rights
and liberties. Secondly, it can serve to depopulate the
place because the growing generation will find it impos-
sible to live here.
IN LARGE city of the United States rent, for
example, is relatively lower than in these Islands. And
differ according to the region or territory. In New York
City, for example, rent is higher than in many parts of
the south. And this can apply even within regions.
1E4o TN 0OWE4 Unexplained reason, Win Tie
economy remaining essentially the same, rents have
gone sky high, and to the place where they amount to
a bonanza for some. Building regulations and require
ments in certain states provide for proper heating and
ventilation, garbage disposal, a minimum number of
baths per apartment according to tenants, lighting, and
the like. Yet, in these parts. a renovated house can bring
prices almost out of relation to what is provided ALI of
this. is not to say that property owners are not entitled
to a fair return on their investments and property. What
is Of concern here is that there are SO many instances
that seem so completely out Of relation to the economy
and everything else.

order new trails repeatedly be-
cause of the denial of Negro Jury
service.
On trial here next week of the
alleged rape which carries with
it the death penalty, from which
few Negroes upon conviction has
escaped during the past, is 90
year-old M. C. Parker, who was
brought here for arrignment Mon
day from the Kinds County Jail in
Jackson where he has been held
since he was taken to Jackson
for a lie detector test shortly after
he was arrested and charged with
the crime.
Parker is accused of raping the
woman in the presence of her small
daughter after forcing them to
leave their stalled car.
The victim said her husband had
gone for help after their car
broke down near Lumberton. She
said Parker drove up and forced
her and the child at gunpoint into
the woods where the attack took
place.
While her identification was not
positive she picked Parker out of
a large group and said he looked
like the man. She said Parkers
car also looked like the one into
which she was forced.
R. Jess Brown, of Vicksburg,
a prominent Negro Lawyer of the
State will defend the accused
man in the forthcoming trial.
While Atty. Brown has been iden-
titled with NAACF lawsuits in the
state, according to some of his
closets associates, he emphasis
ed the fact that the NAACP has
nothing whatever to do with his
taking the Parker case. According
to these sources Atty. Brown
says, he took the case on the plea
of the accused mans mother who
was unable to pay at present only
an insignificant part of the at
torney fee and costs of the case.

terms of the emerging African
states.
The major influences which have
shaped Africa in the past have
been Western European. 1t would
be expected therefore that these
ties with the West will continue
to hold firm because of the many
obvious links - language, econom-
ic dependence and long years of
association.
The next ten years will certain
ly see the emergence of a dozen
new African states. In 1860 it will
be Nigeria, the British and French
Cameroons, French .Togoland and
Somalia. After that probably will
come Tanganyika, Uganda, and
others.
These countries will need help
in setting up their own govern
mental services and getting their
economic development programs
ON the road.
Unless the Western powers are
ready and willing to provide such
needed help, the African states will
have to turn elsewhere. The Com
munist bloc already has supplied
military and economic aid to Gui-
nea and is attempting TO enlarge
it's influence with the other new
African nations.
Politically the Soviet Union is
in a strong position to make such
a challenge to the West; it has no
history of African colonialism TO
make its overtures suspect OF
late, it has become the seh-ap-
pointed supporter of African ma
tionalist ambitions.

ed any outward expression Of po-
litical dissent.
By contrast, the non-violent evil
dences Of change also have been
making their mark. In Tanganyika
constitutional reforms have been
agreed upon which will bring this
territory closer to self government.
In Nigeria full local autonomy has
been given in preparation for self
government scheduled for 1860.
Senegal and the French community,
have held elections and decided to
merge their political futures. Bel
GUM has agreed to cooperate with
African leaders on arrangements
for a stage-by-stage progression
toward ultimate self-government in
the Congo.
And the first African has been
appointed to an executive post in
the Government of the Federation
of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
None of these developments -
violently or peaceably accomplish
ed - has been surprising to those
familiar with the African situa-
ton, who have been predicting that
such changes must occur.
But what has surprised many is
the speed with which these events
are taking place. It was expected
that the tides of nationalism
spreading throughout the continent
would eventually get to the Belgian
Congo, although specifically at
least this area appeared relatively
undisturbed. Here was a solid
economy based on the successful
exploitation of natural resources,
as we'll as the relative absence of
racial strife between the Congo's
Is million blacks and 100000
whites.
The riots in Leopoldville which
took the lives of 200 Africans were
brought on by a combination of
fateful events. These included un-
employment and uneasiness in the
wake of the economic sexbacks
brought on by the Western recess
sion and the intensification of ma
tionalist feelings following the ALL
African Peoples Conference in
| Ghana last year. But there were
other factors, less immediate per-
haps; the growing discomfort with
Belgian refusal to give greater po-
litical voice to African aspirations
and the feeling that a greater share
of the country's prosperity should
be returned to the African popu-
lace.
Whatever the exact causes, the
violence which also burst into the
neighboring French Congo served
to enforce the convictions of those
who insist that there can be no
stemming of the tides of national
ism-only, hopefully, some wise
channeling of the swiftly flowing
currents.
The Nyasaland dilemma has
pointed up another fundamental
conflict of Africa today; the dis
turbing effect that a racial policy
of white supremacy is having on
| territories where the interests Of
whites and blacks must inevitably
clash.
From the outset in 1858 British
efforts to link the protectorate
with the Rhodesias have been re-
earded with anxiety, although
