to the Virgin Islands, for there
they would feel better about their
own situation. As causes foT this this
situation, to the heritage Of slav-
cry should be added a tropical
climate and perhaps too much pa
ternalism too long on the path Of
the mission.
Virgin Islanders are proud of
their American citizenship and.
welcomed the closer utilization
with the American Moravian
Church, which came in 1855.
Leading laymen are encouraging
their fellow members to work
toward self-support because they
are eager to take their place as
partners with their fellow Ameri-
cans, rather than to remain as
objects of mission benevolence.
Just a small indication of their
thinking is the fact that the
Church Helpers equivalent to our
board Of trustees) at Frederiksted
recently went on record as favor
ing the term parsonage for their
minister's residence in place of
the term mission house, up to
now the popular designation.
Al second feature Of life in the
Virgin Islands which impressed
, 1960-05-18

me is the fine relationship be-
tween colored and white people,
VIII who live ii d ratio Of about nine
to one. Here, with a total popula-
ton of about 10000 on three is
lands, we have q good demonstra-
ton that ~integration does work.
There is little or no color line. III,
was a pleasant experience, for in
stance, to visit Rotary on Saint
Croix a typical club in that, it is
composed of leading business and
professional men, but less typical
compared to those in the States
in it being made up Of both col
ored and white members. Info
tunately one hears reports that
with the growth of tourism ard
the increase in the white popu-
lation attracted by the climate or
some business venture, the color
line is threatening to make its an
pearance. Much Of the credit FIR
the hitherto good feelings be-
tween the races belongs to the
churches Of the several denomi-
nations on the islands, especially
the Moravian because of IFS
greater concentration on help ng
the Negroes.
TO be continued
, 1960-05-18

One Of the happy results Of the
transfer of the administration OF
the Eastern West Indies province
to the Moravian Church in Amer
lea on July 1, 1855, has been the
enlargement of the mission hori-
zon of American Moravians. Evil
dence of this is the growing num-
Der of our members who are visit
ing Moravian churches in this
area, located on nine islands and
in British Guiana on the South
American mainland. A particular
focus Of interest are ST. Thomas,
st, Croix and st, John, the three
Virgin Islands which since 1917
have belonged to the United
States. Mere Moravian missions
were born on st. Thomas in the
year 1882.
1t was my privilege this past
summer to be one of these visi-
tors and to get a first hand taste
of what it means to be a mission
airy. From June Is to August 81
! assisted in the work on ST.
CCrroix under the iireecttion III
AG
of my former students, the Rev.
Donald E. Fulton, pastor at Fred
eriksted. It was quite different
from preaching church history in
4 theological seminary, but it was
also one of the most reWarding
interludes in a ministry of twen-
ty-five years.
My assignment was to serve the
church in Christiansted. vacated
by the death of Colin Williams,
and to assist in the overall work
of the three churches on Saint
Croix, the third one being the
rural congregation at Mldlands,
about halfway between Christian
sted and Frederiksted. The need
for assistance can better be appre-
ciated when it is pointed out that
Pastor Fulton "a common term
for the minister), except for vo-
lunteer lay pastors, had been
alone in the pastoral care of
these churches since October Of
last year.
Some Observations
What were some Of my observa-
tons Of church work in the Vir-
, 1960-05-18

gin islands, One Of the conspi-
|cuous, though not surprising fea-
lures is the similarity to the work
of the churches on the home
front. To think of the Virgin Is
lands as a foreign mission field
is obsolete. The eight Negro
churches on these islands dhree
on st. Thomas, three on st. Croix
and two on st. john are made
up of members whose families
have been in the church for gem
erations. Long before the end of
slavery in 1848 the Negroes had
been acquiring the culture Of
their masters and in the past CEN
tury have become an integral part
of it. Virgin Islanders are typi-
cally American in their orienta-
ton, including the place of the
church in their lives. They ary
both as spiritual and as "secu-
lar" as the average American.
Communication, transportation &
technology are resulting in ever
increasing uniformity of people
ever everywhere There are radios ii
the majority Of homes, television
sets with good aerials can pick up
Puerto Rico, and the New York
papers which leave the mainland
about midnight are on the news
stands Of Charlotte Amalie and
Christiansted before noon Of the
next day.
Some Differences
To be sure there are differences,
differences which are the hertz
age of slavery. Family life leaves
much to be desired and the ille-
gitimacy rate is still about fifty
percent. The sense of responsible
lily on the part of many is not
highly developed with respect to
work, schedules, money, promises,
etc. This places upon the pastor
the necessity for doing things
himself, which most pastors at
home are able to delegate to lay
men Labor though cheaper per
hour is less efficient and thereby
perhaps more expensive than in
the States. If ministers at home
are frustrated with delays in get
ting things done, they ought to 60

SKI TRAILS
By ROBERT 3. RYAN

They were so considered be-
cause of their European racing
background.
+ "a
American skierS need to meet
their European counterparts
constantly on the rugged Euro
pean race courses. They need
to train in the Andes or New
Zealand in the summer, as do
the Europeans. Then, and only
then, may we see a United
States skier mount the mo. 1"
pedestal, and see the United
States flag raised to honor a
Gold-medal winner.
Such skiing is expensive,
very expensive in equipment
and travel expenses. The
United States skiers are anna
teurs, pure amateurs in every
sense of the word. Most have
other jobs needed to make a
living. Such expenses must
therefore be borne out of poe
ket by the skier or by the ski
ing public, as no subsidies are
allotted by our Government.
Our skiers must compete
against "state-Supported anna
teurS" or 'reSort-supported
amateurs" from most of Eu-

why didn't we do better in
Olympic skiing?" That's a ques-
ton heard many times in the
past week, especially from nom
skiing friends. The answer is
extremely simple-training and
experience.
Actually, our showing was
perhaps better than the totals
might indicate. For example, a
total of only three seconds in
four events separated our Sec
ond-place skierS from the CO.
veted gold medal. Still, they
were seconds" and the supe-
rior training and experience of
the European skiers paid off.
A very few American skiers
have been able to compete on
European slopes against the
continents best. One, Buddy
Werner, conceded to be the top
United States male skier, was
injured in a pre-Olympic fall
and could not compete; the
other, Tom Corcoran, finished
fourth in the mems downhill
event.
Such men were considered to
be the only United States hope
of breaking the European mo-
nopoly on Alpine ski events.

New Devices

ToCruising

If you're interested in new
gadgets for your boat, it's easy
to find them at the Washing
ton Marina's annual boat
show at 1900 Maine avenue,
S.W. The show will be open
from noon to 9 pm. through
March 13.
Several Of the devices are
important from the safety
standpoint. For instance, there
is a simple, little shield to
slip over an electric windshield
wiper. Yet this shield may
prevent a boat running
aground through compass devi-
alton.
The shield was invented by
New Jersey electronics scient-
ist. Maurice j. Ojserkis, head of
the Minicord Corp. of Atlantic
City. Made of a newly y-develop-
ed, rain-oriented magnetic

point. The West River, although
popular with yachtsmen, has
never been known for its fish,
ing. Farther up the Bay lies
the Magothy, but this river is
patronized mostly by Bal
timoreanS.
Both the South and Severn
are heavily fished and in them
you'll find a mixture of salt
and primarily fresh water spe-
cies. Both streams are beauti-
full, with fascinating little coves
and picturesque cottages on
wooded bluffs.
Try Grabbing or Picnicking
If, in the summertime, you
wish a few hours of relaxation,
go down to one of these streams,
obtain a boat and do some
grabbing or picnicking while
you enjoy the scenery.
From the sportsman'S stand
point, the lure of the South and
Severn lies in their pike-really
chain pickerel, of course. It's a
cold-weather sport, lasting from
November until March Is, when
the season closes until May l
These pickerel. weighing UP
to 3 or 312 pounds. like to lurk
in the weed beds close to shore
or under piers or logs and
pounce on any hapless minnows
that chance their way.
A pickerel strikes savagely
and there's generally no stop

first moments Of a fight. You
should use a fresh-water spin
ming rod with 4 to 6 pound
monof1lament. Six is better il
you must horse your fish away
from weeds or brush.
Landing Net Necessary
Be sure to take along a good
landing net and wear plenty of
heavy clothing, including in
sulated underwear. You can't
move around much to keep
warm in a small boat.
Buy some minnows where you
rent your skiff. They're gen.
orally available in season. To
fish. you can use two methods.
One is to anchor, impale a min
now just under the dorsal on
a 10 hook, being careful not to
injure its spine, attach a bob
Der, leaving just enough line to
clear the weeds, and a small
slnker; cast out and relax.
Second is to hook a minnow
through the lips on a spinner
hook such as the Largo and
drift gently along the shore
line, casting toward shore. Don't

foot or two of shore. It's sur
prising how close the pickerel
will lurk.
The shoreline Of the South
River and any Of the coves and
backwaters for some distance
above and below the bridge at
Riva are excellent places. There
is also good fishing around the
Route 2 bridge where you can
obtain boats.
The same is true of the coves
and backwaters of the Severn,
but pike fishing in this river,
according to our information is
not up to what 1t has been.
Yellow perch also bite on
minnows or grass shrimp along
the edges. as do big white
perch. Occasionally a small
mouth bass is caught. Cast for
perch the same way as for
pickerel and on a summer day
do it in the early morning or
toward dusk. Yellow perch are
more of a cold-weather fish
and you won't find many in
the summer.
Small rock school up both
rivers and can be taken toward
dark trolling just off the bars.
The closer you get to the bay.
the more you will encounter
typical bay species.
There is good trolling for
rock in the mouth of South
River on out to Thomas Point
and its well-known bar. Spot
and sometimes good sized
hardhead bite around the
buoyS.

plus 4 equals 8. We would like to
add three numbers in a column
also. Most of us are able to read,
write, and count our numbers to
two hundred, but we still keep
practicing.
Many times we buy certain kinds
of food by the pound We have been
learning how to measure weight by
pounds. Since we must pay for
the things we buy in a store, we
must know what each coin is and
what each piece of money is worth.
We have been working on some
money problems.
Language
Writing a letter to someone has
been a new experience for many
of us. We have written to a rela-
tive or friend and it has been mail
ed. Maybe we will get an answer.
We know that we must have the ad-
dress written neatly and correctly
in order for the mailman to be able
to read where the letter is to be
sent.
In Spelling we have learned many
new words and are having more
words to learn each week. We also
like to talk about and write our
own stories.
Art
We have enjoyed making Spring
and Easter objects in Art Mrs.
Kunkle showed US how to make
very pretty flowers with colored pa
per. They look nice in our room.
March and April weather usu-
ally is ideal for flying kites. We
had fun making our kites and dec
Grating them. OF course, the COM
ing of the Easter season inspired
the making of Easter bunnies and
Easter baskets in lovely Spring
cOlors. We also dyed eggs for our
baskets.
To go along with our unit on
community helpers, for Social Liv-
ing, each of us cut out a life-size
figure of ourself and are in the. pro-
cess of painting the paper figure
to depict what we would like to be
when we grow. up.
Music
Since we have been studying
about our community, we have
learned some songs about the peo-
pie who help us. We also enjoy
listening to stories and music on
records, playing instruments, and
learning new songs about Spring
and Easter.
Physical Education
With the coming of Spring and
warmer weather, we have been
able to have our gym class out
SIDE New games, such as back
to back, target, and volley ball
have been fun to learn. We like
to play games together and it also

new games this year.
