BEGINNING IT'S THIRD CENTURY

- AAAAA OAAN -
THE RECENT observance Of the anniversary Of the
Anglican Church in these Islands is still the subject Of
much discussion among wellwishers, parishioners, and
many in the community. Many of its individual pro
sgrams Of observance were marked with pageantry and
color, and the traditions Of one Of the oldest church in
the world.
THROUGHOUT THE years here churches were
known by the countries Of which they were the state
church, such as the Danish or English. The English
church here, as st. Johns was known, occupied a place
Of real service, and made its significant contribution to
the civic and religious life Of the town.
UNDERTAKING IT'S mission Of devotion to the
highest Christian principles this Church, in addition to
its many other functions, maintained housing and social
welfare programs for its aged and INDECENT members,
and for others as well.
ON IT'S WAY to it's third hundred-year history, the
Anglican Church sees for itself a life Of quiet and de-
voted service, with a continuing interest and contribu-
ton to the life Of this community.
NTHIS DAY and time when democracy and indi-
yidual freedom are in a life-and-death struggle with
Communism the churches are the greatest bulwarks Of
freedom and the dignity of man. Committed to the pro-
position that religion is an opiate. the Communits theory
compels its members to disregard and remove all allegi-
ances to any other power but that of the state. With
such a threat facing the world, the presence of such
God-directed institutions as the Episcopal church bring
. measure Of assurance that individual liberty is not
lost.
IT HAS BEEN said again and again, and we join
everyone else in expressing q deep sense OF satisfaction
that the ST. Johns Church has swung into its third
century. That is a record, and we in St. Croix are for
tunate to see the beginning of that century with the
Church. We know it will carry on, and continue to per-
form it's significant duties in the name of God.

in the view Of prominent cit
izens of both parties. it is bas-
ically conservative in its out
look. The city opened its first
public library just two years
ago and repaved its main street,
for the first time in a half
century. more recently than
that. 1t supports an exception
ally good youth recreation pro-
gram. but after long and bit
ter battle, the City Council
refused again this year to re-
quire householderS to install
water meters. 1t is under heavy
pressure from the State to stop
pouring untreated sewage into
the river at its front door, but
so far it has not responded.
The city was founded in 1888
by settlers from Providence,
Newport and Nantucket-many
OF the Quakers and whaling
men-who bought out the orig
inal Dutch grant holders.
In some of its older sections,
it retains the clapboard, Fed
eral look of a New England
town, and there is still a Quak-
er meeting hall in Hudson.
35 Per Cent Catholic
But the later waves of mi
grants have given the city a
more cosmopolitan population
and greater variety in its
churches. The Irish came at
the time of the Civil War, the
Italians and Poles two or three
decades later.
Today there are three Cath
olic churches in town-one for
each of the three national
groups-along with large Pres
byterian. Methodist, Dutch Re-
formed. Episcopal, Lutheran
and Baptist places of worship.
Some local leaders estimate
the Catholic population at 35
per cent-just equal to the
Statewide percentage. Others
think it may be slightly higher
than that.
There is a small Jewish mid
die class group, composed of
businessmen, lawyers and doc
tors and their families.

Its Voting Record
In 1910 and 1914. when Hud-
son went for Franklin D. Roose-
velt, so did New York State.
In 1948, when the splinter vote
for Henry Wallace's progress
sive Party helped Thomas E.
Dewey exc out the narrowest
kind of victory over Harry S.
Truman in New York, the Re-
publican candidate carrie d
Hudson with STA per cent of
the vote.
In 1852 and 1856, when Hud-
son swung behind President
Eisenhower, the State did the
same thing.
Its record as a political ba-
rometer in the gubernatorial
elections Of the last 20 years is
almost as good. Hudson backed
the winning candidate in 1912,
1916, 1850 and l958-and his
percentage of the Hudson vote
was never more than 4 per
cent off of his Statewide share.
Twice it was lower, and twice
higher.
Missed, but Closely
In 1854, Hudson came within
II per cent of matching the
Statewide percentage break
down between Democrat Averell
Hartman and Republican Irv.
ing Ives. But Hudson went to
Mr.. Ives by 1874 votes, while the
State went to Mr.. Hartman by

Mr.. Hammer said 1t takes

New Bids Lower
The dispute over bidding for
the planting operation devel-
oped when DR.. Byrd negotiated
a contract with an out-of-State
firm. State Controller Louis L.
Goldstein promptly called for
public bidding.
The Langenfelder firm was
low on the second set OF bids
under an arrangement in which
the State was left with a bill
of only $4,000 for the dredg-
ing in the first phase.
The cost was low because
Langenfelder wanted to buy an
equal quantity of shells from
the State at a cost of $780,
600.
The company became inter-
ested in the shells when it
learned they are being used ir

ing lightweight concrete blocks
