Continued from yesterday

Continued from yesterday
AS a result Of this survey, we
have advertised the system
for sale with the condition
that prospective bidders shall
undertake to install modern
dial telephone systems through
out the Virgin Islands, with
adequate capacity for present
and future needs. These bid
proposals will be opened on
June IA, 1859. AS soon as they
shall have been ~evaluated by
a competent evaluation board,
| shall call a special session OF
the Legislature to consider the
proposals. he more expedite
ously this can be done, the
better it will be for the adj
vancement Of the economy OF
the Virgin Islands. ! think you
know that the system which is
now operated by the Virgin
Islands Government is not
only outmoded but cannot be
expanded without the instruc-
ton Of major capital improve
ments which the Government
is not in a position to under
take.

If a newspaper were run

like this:
Last night Premier Khru-
shchev's personal plane, on a
routine flight from Moscow
to Minsk, fell out of control
and came screaming down
from an altitude of 10000
feet. Aboard were the Pre-
mier, the foreign minister and
four field marshals. But first,
a word of caution for you
men. Are you still spending
precious dollars on new shaw
ing equipment when you
could have Rehone for only
pennies a day?
THE PLANE FELL straight
down at TOO miles per hour.
At 5000 feet, the pilot, who
was later found to be a
TrotSky defetionist, pulled
the big TU-4 into a shallow
dive and landed gracefully
at the airport. The smiling
Soviet Premier said that he
was not shaken up, that the
experience was no worse than
falling out Of a bed at Blair
House in Washington.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Grouners Lose Sympathy
BY DR.. PETER J. srEINcRoHN

Don't expect sympathy"
when you suffer from a
chronic ailment. I have put
sympathy in quotes because
many i'll persons expect too
much from their neighbors,
friends-and even from mem
be1'S OF their own family.
MOST PEOPLE are truly
sorry for the one in pain and
discomfort. But human ma
ture is such, that repeated
complaints from the patient
begins to dilute the pure
distillate of sympathy.
For example, consider this
letter:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: BY
nature I am a sympathetic
person. But there's a limit!
Take my husband, for in
stance.
For years he has been
having Stomach trouble He
has no ulcer or anything
wrong with his gall bladder
or with anything else. But he
keeps on complaining.
Il have been waiting for
that one morning in years
when he will get up without
complaining. There isn't a

terested in child-rearing. I
feel that my sister Eva is
making a lot of mistakes
with her youngsters. The
three of them, aged S through
10, are very spoiled. They
have no responsibility.
Recently, the 10-year-old
boy broke a store window.
The storekeeper demanded
payment and my brother-in-
law paid. / think the boy
should have been forced to
raise the money through odd
jobs and pay for it himself.
Eva r. - Beatrice Just
knows what she reads in
books and doesn't have any
practical sense about raising
children. She makes things
hard by criticiZing what l do
all the time. The children
look up to her now and give
me arguments.
When our boy broke the
window he was scared to
death. The storekeeper told
him he'd have him put in
jail. The boy hid out all day
and was going to run away. .
I thought he had been
punished enough.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
One Of the first notes
Beatrice ought to put in her
child-rearing notebook is that
no outsider should ever at
tempt to undermine a child's
confidence in his parents. II
Beatrice has something to say
about her sisters handling Of
a situation. she should do it
IN private.
Aside from this, however.
Beatrice has a valid point
when she places great en-
phasis upon the development
Of a sense of responsibility.
In the case OF the l0-year-
old boy. for example, we think
Eva was right in her desire to
ease his fears.
The opportunity to instill a
deep lesson in responsibility
then might have been taken.
At 10, a boy is pretty young
to have to take odd jobs to
pay for a window, but his
parents might have helped
with part Of the money and
given him some jobs at home
to pay for the rest.

time when I ask him how he
is feeling when he says: "A
little bit better today No,
it's always Awful Terrible
or worse
After a while it gets so
l don't feel like asking, even
If I want to know how he is.
Il wish you'd write some
thing about this, DR.. Stein
crohn. There must be thou
sands Of other unfortunate
'bystanders' who have the
sa m e problem. Sincerely,
Mrs. M. c."
! AGREE WITH YOU,
Mrs. M. C. Unfortunately.
there are many persons who
complain too much"
I advise most patients to
try not to talk of their ILL
ness. There are two reasons
that come to mind.
One, so you won't be
looked upon as a bore. Two,
so you won't turn your
neighbor or friend into a
bore.
How? If you tell all your
acquaintance that your doc
tor says you have heart
trouble, you will have no rest.
Everytime one sees you he
will say: How are you to-
day?" "How'S the old ticker
behaving?" why not retire
and take it easy?" Or, You
don't look we'll to me today,
Bill. Your color's not too
good"
I tell patients the smartest
thing to do is keep things
to yourself" Don't keep any,
thing from your family: but
keep it from all others.
But be sure that you don't
overdo the complaining in
your own family circle.

else. Noah built an altar to
God, and offered Him a SOL
emn prayer Of thanks.
And God looked down on
His world, and He saw that
Of all His people only Noah
and his family were left. But
now, thought God, these peo.
pie will be different. They
have seen what happens
when men do not listen to
Me. Noah's children will not
forget Me.
And at first, they didn't
forget. Noah's sons remem-
bered the great flood. Their
sons heard about it from
their fathers. The sons sons
heard about 1t, but it seemed
like a long time ago.
They Also Forget
And after a while people
began to forget why their
family had lived through the
flood. They forgot how i'm.
portant it was to listen to
God, and they began to lis
ten to themselves instead.
Once more people decided
not to follow Gods plan.
There was little kindness
in the world that Noah's
children built. Most men did
not care how unhappy other
people were, so long as they
themselves were getting rich.
AS for loving God, by this
time most people had for
gotten God and His plan al
together. They invented
many little gods to suit their
own plans: a god to help
them win wars, a god to
make it rain, a god to chase
wolves away.
A Bull With Wings
They even imagined what
these gods looked like. One
god. they thought, was a bull
with wings, another had the
body of a cat and the face of
a man, another one was sup
posed to be in the shape Of
a snake.
And God, watching His
people, saw that they were
getting more confused all the
time. There is only one
God!" He kept trying to tell
them. Il am not shaped like
a bull or a cat or a snake!
You can't see Me with your
eyes; you must see Me with
your heart. Love Me and you
will see Me! Love anyone at
all and you will catch a
glimpse of Mel"
1t was no use. Most peo-
pie were not listening any
more They had shut their
ears to Him for so long they
did not even recognize Gods
voice.

pie thought, so long as he
knew what God thought.
Noah and his three sons
led the animals into the ark
and his wife and his sons
wives carried in the last of
the food: Seed for the birds,
grain for the cattle and
horses. dried fruit for them
selves-every kind of food
there was, enough to last for
a long, long time.
When the last chipmunk
and caterpillar we're in the
ark, God Himself shut them
in.
For 40 days and 40 nights
the rain poured down. When
at last it stopped and Noah
opened the window to look
out. there was only water,
stretching as far as his eyes
could see. Not even the tops
of the mountains showed
above the water.
But perhaps, thought
Noah, there is dry land far
ther ahead, out of sight. And
so, as the Bible tells us:
". he sent forth a dove
from him, to see if the waters
were abated from of the face
of the ground; but the dove
found no rest for the sole Of
her foot, and she returned
unto him into the ark, for
the waters we're on the face
of the whole earth; then he
put forth his hand, and took
her. and pulled her in unto
him into the ark"
Noah waited a week.
e. and again he sent
forth the dove out of the ark;
and the dove came in to him
in the evening; and. 10. in
her mouth was an olive leaf
plucked Off"
So Noah knew that the wa
ters were slowly going down
and that somewhere the top
of a tree had appeared. But
it was a whole year from
the time the rain began un-
til the earth was dry enough
to walk on again. Then out
of the ark they ran.

Our Christmas Story
Chapter 5
THE MAN WHO LISTENED

Sh6ptCI .
THE MAN WHO LISTENED
The first sin brought un-
happiness to Adam and Eve.
But the unhappiness it
brought them was nothing
compared to the grief it
brought God. Here were the
creatures He had chosen out
Of an the universe to be His
companions-and they had
left Him.
He was lonely again, but
now His loneliness was worse
than before, because He had
had children and then lost
them. God, you see, still
loved these people He had
made. God does not change.
No matter how badly they
had behaved they were still
His dearest creation.
Adam and Eve had two
sons, Abel and Cain. When
they grew up, Cain killed his
brother, and that was the
first murder. Adam and Eve
had more children, and those
children had children until
there were many people in
the world-and most of them
were like Cain.
Instead of living together
peacefully, they quarreled
with each other. Next to
wars, the children of Adam
liked noisy pleasures best.
Didn't Hear God Calling
In all the noisy confusion
To one heard God calling.
No one heard Him say, over
and over, that this was not
the way to live, that this was
not what He had made them
for
At least. very few people
heard Him. In every genera
ton there were always one
or two who tried hard to shut
out the din around them so
that they could hear what
God was saying.
One of these was Noah.
Noah lived quietly with his
wife. and three sons. listen
ing all the time for Gods
message.
Now it happened that God
had a very important mes
sage for Noah. The Bible
tells us:
God saw the wickedness
Of ~man was great in the
earth. and that every imag-
tnation of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continual
ly. And it repented the Lord
that He had made man on
the earth, and it grieved Him
at His heart"
NeighbOrs Laughed
SO God decided to wash
the whole earth clean with
a great rain. But Noah was
a good man, and God told
him about the flood that was
coming. He told Noah to
build an ark, a large boat
with a house on its deck, big
enengh to hold his family
and some of every kind of
animal in the world.
God told Noah exactly how
to build it, how long it should
be, and how high.
When Noah'S loud-mouthed,
lazy neighborS found Noah
building a huge boat on dry
land, miles and miles from
the ocean, they laughed until
the. tears rolled down their
cheeks.
Noah didn't mind. He was
used to standing alone and
he was used to being laughed
at. He didn't care what peo-
