Title of the Virgin Islands Code to provide that in case
of a long succession of legal holidays the Governor may,
by proclamation declare one Of said holidays to be aregu-
lar work day.
The recent experience where March 26 through
March 81 were legal holidays for government employees
has brought forcibly to the attention Of the administra-
ton the need for q revision Of our holiday laws to reduce
the number Of public holidays in the islands. Certainly, in
our united efforts to improve the economy Of the Virgin
Islands, the crippling Of government business activities
by too many homework days is not a helpful factor.
IT recommend the enactment Of this Bill. I further re-
L%commend that a careful review Of our holiday law be
made with a view to an early revision thereof. Such re-

OUTDOOR LIFE
GIVES MONT.
DOUBLE BOOST
a Chamber OF

"The Montana Chamber Of
Commerce publicity program
which has brought the state a
million dollars worth of space in
national magazines over the past
few years gets a double boost in
the April issue of Outdoor Life
magazine" Dan Price executive
director for the State Chamber in
the Sidney area, said today.
Price explained that the maya
zine carries a feature on Montana
trout, plus a how-to-do-it article
on fly-fishing illustrated with
photos from the Montana Chamber
files.
"Called 'Haystack Fly the
trout fishing story is written by
Charles F. Waterman, a Florida
writer-photographer who spent
| several weeks in the state last
summer and fall gathering Mon
tana information for outdoor art
icles. Waterman and his wife
headquartered in Livingston but
travelled to many parts of the state
in search of variety and top in
terest story materials" Price said.
Through the services of Bill
Browning, Executive Vice Presl-
dent of the State Chamber, the
WATERWAYS were able to find just
what they were looking for in the
way of story MATERIAL. Browning
worked with the writing team and
the dividends of that work are
beginning to show. The story in
Outdoor Life covers three full
pages, with a total of five Mon
tana pictures. 1t points out drama
tically why the WATERWAYS were
excited by Montana fly-fishing
and why other sportsmen should
visit u.s."
Price said that the other feature
in Outdoor Life is a six-page pic
ture story on fly fishing techniques
written by Joe Brooks, inerna-
tionally-known fishing authority.
Brooks uses 20 of Browning's
photographs to illustrate his story,
Price noted.
"The Montana Chambers record
of promotion for Montana attrac-
tions is quite impressive" Price
pointed out. He said that in 1858
alone, SO peces of national public
ity were obtained through the
State Chambers work with auth
ors and editors. These reached
some 24,500,000 homes in the
United States and occupied space
that would have cost over $230,000
to buy as advertising. These
stories dealt with fishing and
hunting, Montana agriculture, in
dustry, Charlie Russells pictures,
skiing, and many other facets of
Montana life to give a well-round-
ed picture of all the state and to
promote the variety of attractions
we offer visitors" Price said.
