Kiwanis News

John j. Petras of the United
States Department of Labor was
guest speaker of the Milford XII
wants Club at their weekly dinner
meeting held at the Boulevard Res
taurant, Tuesday evening. Mr.. Pc
tras spoke about the changes in our
population and labor force which
are expected to take place between
1860 and 1870
He said our manpOwer potential
is great enough, with an improving
technology, to increase the pro-
duction of goods and services by
about 500 from 1860 to 1870.
He pointed out we begin the
1960's with gross national pro-
duction of 500 billion dollars and
can reach a level of $50 billion dol
lars by 1870.
This means, Mr.. Petras added,
that by 1870 we can provide our
expanding population with a 259O
increase in its standard of living.
Mr.. Petras came to Milford to
address the Kiwanis Club from
Wilmington, where he has offices
in the U. S. Customs Building.
The local Kiwanis Club would
like to take this opportunity to
express its appreciation to all
those who helped to make the Del
aware Sportsman's and Boat Show
a success.
Many thanks are extended to
those who came to see what was
on display, to the exhibitors and

Several groups, three to be
exact, are enjoying weekly
dancing lessons in the Lulu M.
Ross Auditorium on Monday
evenings. The sub-teens come
early and are gone when the
young adults take over and
then a little older married
group has the time until eleven
o'clock. The enjoyment and
the social opportunity that
comes with the pastime is CIV
ing all who are taking lessons
another outlet for fun and real

When | came here eleven years
ago we had practically no money
to work with beyond my salary.
At that time, we had a Tourist
Advisory Board, consisting of five
outstanding citizens of st. Thomas
appointed by the Governor and
serving without remuneration.
Our principal job in those days
was to convince the government
and the community at large that
it was already late in the day and
that if we were to capture our
share of the postwar travel mar
ket, funds for advertising and
promotion would have to be forth
coming promptly. Our present
BUDGET is some twenty times what
we had in our first year of opera
ton and clearly represents pro-
gress, even if not as large and as
rapid as we should have liked.
From one small Office with a paid
staff of two-mysef and a secre-
tary-we have been able to es-
tabIish four offices-in St. Croix.
ST. Thomas. Nav York and. most
recently in San Juan-with a
combined total staff of IA. We now
have not only our own advertis-
ing agents but a publicity agent

On the darker side of the ledger
/ must report that air traffic to

month somewhat under the figures
for the same month last year.
Two days ago / went to San Juan
with several representatives from
the tourist businesses in our is
lands to meet with officials of
Caribair to see what could be
done to offset this drop in traffic.
1t was their general opinion, and
my own, that the decrease is
largely due to a falling-off of
Puerto Ricans visiting the Islands
and that this appears to be due,
in large measures to very bad
weather in the San Juan area
where it has rained heavily al
most every day for the past
month. Mr.. Trigo has proposed

Commissioner Of Tourism

Continued from last issuel
You will, / know, want to
hear something about the
Governors new. Tourist Adj
visory Board, the first meet
ing of which was held on
October 13 at Government
House in st. Thomas. The
meeting lasted most Of the
day and rs out Of the 20
newly appointed members
were present. AL Of those
I talked to thought it had
been an interesting and.
constructive day. /, person
ally, regard it as the first
step toward a long-held
dream that we would one
day have a representative
citizens group in the tour
list business patterned along
the same lines as the groups
in Bermuda and Nassau
which have been function
ing successfully for many
years. ! should point out
that our new Tourist Advi-
sorry Board reports directly
to the Governor and not to
the Department Of Tourism
and that their function, thus
far, is purely advisory.
You will also wish to
hear the latest news about
the opening of the street
front Office in New York
City by the Department Of
Tourism. In case you did
not already know it, this
