FESTIVAL 1860

@@@ #TEO llVAL ISOU @
ST. CROIX IS about to embark upon its ninth
Christmas Festival. BY now this Festival is almost an
institution, and well on its way to becoming a tradition.
We have become so used to the Festival that we look
forward to it with increasing interest each year.
THIS YEARS OFFICIALS have been elected,
headed by Mrs. Lois Canegata, and Henville Rogiers,
co-chairmen. Other officers are Mrs. Ruth Williams
Klint, treasurer; Mrs. Airline Kernochan, secretary;
Frederick Kernochan, chairman Finance Committee;
Miss Genevieve Thurland, chairman Village Commit
tee. All Of these officers are public-spirited citizens who
can be counted upon to give their all for the Festival.
THE FESTIVAL, having established itself, can
take on importance far beyond all earlier expectation.
Starting out as a means Of Frightening the season and
restoring the old-fashioned customs, and merriment OF
Christmas, the Festival has taken hold and branched
out as one Of the most important events Of the year.
HAVING BEEN "A success, financial and otherwise,
the Festival can really take on responsibility and there
fore make. a real contribution to st. Croix. After the
merriment, the bright lights have dimmed, and the
dancing ceased, and life settles back, the Festival can
make itself felt in the community Some years ago, g
dressing carriage was presented to the Charles Har-
wood Memorial Hospital But there is still more to be
done, and both the education and the health depart
ments could gain from genuine Contributions, winch ~
turn are passed on to the citizenry.
THEN THERE IS the matter of bringing natives
on the mainland closer to home. There are thousands OF
VIRGIN islanders on the mainland. They still want to
have close ties with their home, but to do SO calls for con
slant reminders and encouragement. It is for this rea
son that the pilgrimage started by MI. Totten received
such encouragement in these columns.
IN GOOD HANDS, the Festival is on its way tc
another big season.

tel at Estate John Brewers Bay on St. Thomas. on land
presently owned by the Virgin Isle Hotel, Inc. Virgin Isle
Hotel, Inc. have indicated their approval of leasing this
property to us on a long term basis.
Mr.. Sidney Kessler, Chairman of the Board of Virgin Isle
Hotel, Inc, has advised us that he has discussed d pro-
posed exchange of land at Brewers Bay with both the
Commissioner of Public Works and the PLANNING Board
You will note from the attached survey that the present
or existing road or what is left of it runs parallel to the
beach. This road IS continually being washed away by the
sea. We feel it would serve the public interest as well as
our interest if this existing road could be removed and i
new road built further inland.
It is our understanding that Virgin Isle Hotel, Inc. would
be willing to deed to the Municipality a piece of land 35
feet wide as shown on the attached map as proposed
road, !" in exchange for the Municipality deciding to them
the present existing road which is much narrower and
comprises much less square footage of property. Our ac-
QUESTION OF the present beach road would then make it
possible for us to s~trategicly locate a beach club and hotel
facilities and permit US through a dredging operation to re-
place the sand that was lost or W~ithdraWn.and to recreate
Brewers as one of the most beautiful beaches on the
island.
Both the Planning Board and the Commissioner Of Public
Works have indicated to Mr.. Kessler that such an ex-
change appears practical for all purposes, but that this
transfer would n~ecesSitate the approval of the Executive
and Legislative branches Of our Municipal Government.
We sincerely hope that this proposal will receive your
favorable recommendation.

Among complaints that drew

that poll and party officials cast

Another was that some poll

These included a report pistols

The board summoned Dem

Some Of the complaints were

to him.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

cratic Party could lose this
State"
Republicans readily concede
that their job in Virginia-as
elsewhere-is rougher this time
because Richard M. Nixon, how
ever adequate they regard him
for the task, doesn't have the
stature of soldier-hero. Added
to this, in the normally Demo-
cratic South, Mr.. Nixon carries
the complete Republican trade
mark rather than the light
party brand that Southern
Democrats by the thousands
couldn't see on Mr.. Eisenhower
at all.
Early Victories Help
But the Virginia G.. o. P. has
big plus value going for it. This
is the record Of 1956-in which
Mr.. Eisenhower carried the
State over Adlai Stevenson,
386,459 to 267,760. and in 1852
when Mr.. Eisenhower downed
Mr.. Stevenson the first time by
349, 900 to 268,000.
The Republicans, without Mr..
Eisenhower, aren't looking for
any such substantial victory
margins. But the party leader
ship feels that Virginians, by
voting for Mr.. Eisenhower
twice, may have picked up some
lasting habits.
Another imponderable in the
election is Senator Kennedy's
Catholicism in predominantly
Protestant Virginia. Some pre-
dict it will be a considerable
factor, pointing to the 1928
election results when Virginia
voted Republican for Herbert
Hoover over Democrat Alfred
E. Smith. a Catholic. Others,
pointing to Senator Kennedy's
big primary victory in West
Virginia before the conven-
tions, are inclined to minimize
the religious factor.
William C. Battle. a South
ern Baptist from Charlottes-
vile and State director Of Sen
ator Kennedy's campaign, has
said he believes Senator Ken
nedy'S answers to questions Of
religion should satisfy anyone.

And from Democratic State
Chairman Thomas H. Blanton:

State Central Committee m set
in Richmond August 10 to plan
a campaign to carry the State
for the Democratic ticket"
Byrd Is Key
A major factor in the success
or failure of the Democratic
effort will be the degree of
effort the Democrats put into
their campaigning. In 1852 and
1856 the State Democratic or
ganization carried on a cam
paign at level slightly above
a yawn. The level of intensity
this time may depend on how

Senator Byrd did not attend
this years Democratic conven-
tion. Eight years ago he said
he could not indorse Adlai
Stevenson and he was non-
committal in the second Stew
enson campaign in 1856.

Of the Kennedy johnson ticket,

togetherness by the various
