evitable.
Mr.. Zimmerman. an uncan-
nily perceptive director, is
clearly relating here a personal
story While it could not be
more detailed, more complete

than of one dramatic aspirant's
relation to that career.
This is as it should be and
Miss Hepburn and her vivid
supporting cast are thoroughly
responsive to Mr.. Zinnemann'S
idea.
The key role, to which Miss
Hepburn brings charm, grace,
and spirit, is that of a compli-
Gated personality. Gabrielle

alien to the calling she chooses.
Yet of all of life's varied
summons to her nature, that
of the Nun-nurSe is the strong
est. She subjects herself, there
fore, to the rigors of its train
ing. The ordeal of it lies in the
fact that what she achieves
intellectually and academically,
she must deny spiritually in
acts of humility, obedience,
discipline, indeed total self
effacement. Her experience of
convent-hospital life. then, is
q conflict between two selves,
One of these is properly proud,

not this type Of boom is good for this place.
OF COURSE, THE buyer can be the one to solve
the whole thing. If there are no buyers to pick up this
type Of sale, then the prices will automatically come

Editorial
LAND BOOM


THE PRICE OF land in ST. Croix IS developing
into a nightmare. Somehow, beginning with a handful
of wealthy people who thought they had found peace
and quiet and safety, the price Of land started to soar,
and today it is nothing less than a boom. But a boom for
whom?
WHEN "A PIECE Of land less than 10 acres can be
offered for nearly $4,000 ten indeed, there is boom.
Yet, IN free country, a matter such as this may be be-
You'd the reach and control of the Government to regu-
late. Such matters must be controlled, or at least,
restricted, by public opinion.
TWO CONSEQUENCES Of this type Of boom can
come. First, the place will shortly be converted into a
"millionaires paradise Put another way, the entire
social structure with all its political and economic con
sequences will change. Tt is often seen in a situation in
which there is only the very rich, and the very poor.
The bottom falls out, and the middle class, which is 50
essential to the well balanced economy and social struc-
ture, is completely lost.
THE SECOND B is that this Island will
eventually cease to produce and therefore cannot ever
support itself. It will become even more dependent than
it is at present. All the land will be dotted with homes
and little villas, occupied for a portion Of the winter
season, and barren the rest Of the time. The land will
be So valuable and 50 precious, and inflated to such q
point that none of it will ever be left for production
purposes.
ONE OF H methods, however, through which
the Government might help the situation is By taxation,
making sure that the public in general, through taxes,
gets some Of the benefits Of this type Of boom.
BUT REGARDLESS Of which way the wind blows,
this type of thing is simply ridiculous. Sentimental
value is one thing, but it should have no place in the
economic scheme Of things. This is no attempt to blame
those who sell real estate. Not at all. 1t is their business
to sell, and the more they can get for the land they sell,

The county has been aided
