ANOTHER INDUSTRY FOR ST. CRoK

THERE is STILL the possibility that the Fairch-
ney Instrument Corporation Of Watertown, New York,
will establish a factory for the manufacture Of instru-
ments in the Frederiksted area. When the matter boils
down to the selection and obtaining Of a site, then there
is encouragement that, all other things being equal, we
will have another factory in this Island soon.
WE NEED INDUSTRY in this Island. In fact, we
need any and every type Of enterprise which will en-
nance our economy. The Virgin Islands Corporation, of
course, is providing the bulk Of our industrial effort, and
without it conditions would be desperate indeed. But we
need more industry.
TOURISM is ALSO contributing to the situation,
and as time passes will become even more important,
When, for example, tourist ships come here directly, or
travel bureaus include st. Croix in package deals, and
the local Office makes sure that the advantages Of this
place are put forth, then we shall gain accordingly.
AFACTORY, SUCH as the one the Fairchney Cor
poration ~contemplates developing here would give EN-.
ployment to between so and 100 persons, and while that
may not be large in terms Of big industry, it is never
theless big enough to become important in our set-up
here. The new skils to be developed, the materials to be
imported and processed, and then exported, and all that
goes into the factory could be Of much value to us,
THIS IS HI type Of situation which needs en-
enlargement. and inducement, through tax advantages
and otherwise.
EVERYONE LOOKS forward to the establish
ment of this business firm, and is willing, we are sure,
to cooperate in whatever way possible.

star Garden Editor

Gardeners who buy only the
Darwin tulip varieties often
miss some Of the most inter-
esting of the tulip blooms, but
also have a comparatively short
season of bloom for their eff
forts. It is possible by a care
full selection of varieties, and
kinds, to have 10 weeks of
blooms outdoors.
The varieties Of tulipa kauf-
manniana. the water-lily tulip,
are the first to bloom in the
spring. They are short
stemmed but make a most
pleasing display in the rock
garden and as an edging for
perennial borders. If they are
planted in q protected situa-
ton such as on the south side
Of the house even earlier bloom
may be expected. There are at
least a dozen varieties Of T,
kaufmanniana to choose from,
Following the Kaufmanniana
varieties, which ought to last
about three weeks, we can
have spectacular bloom from
Eichleri of moderate size, or
we can use the Fosteriana va
riety, Red Emperor. the really
big tulip. 1t will attain a 10
inch spread if given the best
cultural conditions.
Flowering at about the same
time as Eichleri and Red EN-
peror, but in no way competing
with them is the tiny T. biflora
an inch in diameter. OF

Tulip Bloom Possible
For 10-Week Display

wider appeal is the multi
lowered Praestaens Fusilier.
This orange-red, cluster-flow-
cred tulip is most snowy as well
as interesting.
These species and varieties
should carry the Towering sea-
son into late April when the
single and double earlies take
over. While these are well
known for forcing it is only the
old red and yellow Kiezerskroon
that has received much atten-
ton for out-of-door planting.
There has been considerable
crossing between the Single
Early and the Darwins,. which
has produced several Glasses"
that help to bridge the gap in
Towering seasons. The Double
Late also fits into this period,
but most people will find the
Mendel and the Triumph more
interesting and useful. The
main display will probably come
from the Darwins. the Cottage
and the Breeders, but we should
note that there is some varia-
ton in their season Of bloom.
Unfortunately, there is very lit
tie information available as to
the actual order of bloom of the
various varieties. In other
words. at the end of the flower
ing season we will have more
difficulty in picking varieties
than at the beginning. How
ever, we should not overlook the
Parrots; the Blue Parrot is one
Of the last to flower in the
spring, perhaps not until June.

GARDEN CHORES: COOL NIGHTS

Frost is likely to turn the leaves brown before cool
weather causes them to color up. This same kind of
weather Is not helping shrubs and trees to rpen for
cold weather. We need cool nights and plenty of them
before hard freezes arrive there is apt to be serious
injury Unfortunately there is very little that the gar
dener can do TO overcome this situation
We have long since stopped fertilzing shrubs and
perennias and watering is withheld until there is no
likelihood Of encouraging soft growth
Continue bulb planting although the ANIMALS are still
in the way Late planting does not affect next springs

than normal.
Put pansy plants in possible so that they
will be well rooted before cold weather
Remove the weeds and debris from fence corners and

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 19 (AP)
Walter Williams, honored as
the last surviving veteran of the
Civil War, die quietly in the
arms of two relatives today.
He simply stopped breathing,
worn out after a fourth attack
of pneumonia since June.
Death came to the old Con-
federate-he gave his age as
117-at 3:20 pm. (CST) in the
arms of a n-in-law, Ed Biela-
.mowicz, and a grandson, Sydney
Boyd.
HE just quit breathing" Mr..
Bielamowicz said. HE had done
that before. and we just lifted
him up and he'd catch his
breath and start breathing
again.
But this time he didn't start
breathing again. There was no
struggle, no sound, nothing. He
Just went to sleep"
Died of Old Age
DR.. Russell Wolfe, his per-
sonal physician. visited the old
soldier 80 minutes before his
death. Although Mr.. Williams
had been i'll with pneumonia,
the physician said he had re-
covered from this ailment.
He Just died from the nat
ural complications of old age"
DR.. Wolfe said.
Other relatives present were

after they were stopped at
Seventh and L streets NV.
With the woman driving, the
car turned east into M street
NV. about a minute later and
struck the pedestrian. The
woman told police she thought
her companion had his foot
on the gas pedal but he insisted
she had control of the car. He
said he did grab the wheel after
the car ran over the curb when
he saw the pedestrian in the
cars path, police said.
The woman walked away
from the scene and did not
surrender to police until yes
terday morning. The man re-
mained at the scene.
This was the sequence of
events:
Leonard President, 20. of
4717 Eighth street NV, a mail
handler for the Post Office
Department, went to a restau-
rant in his car to pick up
Sarah M. Tinker, 18, of 729
Taylor street NV. and RUBY
Cameron, "a, of the Taylor
street address.
With President at the wheel,
the trio drove north on Seventh
street.
Red Lights Passed
Police said both girls told
them President was driving
erratically and went through
a red light as the car crossed
New York avenue NV. They
said they were arguing with
President about his driving
when the car was halted at
Seventh and L streets NV. at
about 10:40 pm.
According to the girls, they
told detectives President was
not driving properly. They said
the plainclothesmen asked if
either of the girls could drive
