Apparently Coach Bill Elias.
who switched from George
Washington University to Vir-
ginia last month, is making
up for lost time in the re-
cruiting race.
Mike Curtis, Richard Mont
g gomery's All Metropolitan
fullback. says Virginia Is his
No. / choice at the moment.
Arnold Cash, All : Suburban
Virginia fullback, also admits
interest in the Charlottesville
school.
Curtis recently developed
bursituS in his left knee and
quit the Rockets basketball
team for q rest on the advice
Of his physician. The condition
is. considered only temporary
and will not affect Mikes
career.
Cash also Is sitting out
basketball this season to con-
centrate on his studies. Arnold
has offers from Maryland and
Houston and plans to visit
several other schools before
making up his mind.
Vic Blue, Waksfield's
wrestling coach, feels the prog
resS Of the FAIRFAX County
schools In such q short period
Of time has been tremendous
and helped put over the first
Northern Virginia wrestl l n g
tournament last week end.
Vic reports that about 1000
fans were on hand for Friday
nights preliminary sessions and
500 showed UP for. the finals
Saturday night. The tourna-
ment was held at Wakefield.
Fairfax schools began wreS-
Ting last year and made q cred
liable showing in the tourna-
ment. Washington-Lee won
with 126 points, followed by
Wakefield with 106. Annandale
was third with q surprising 81
points, Stuart fourth with 40
and Fairfax fifth with 80.
The success Of the initial
tournament has boosted the
hopes Of Northern Virginia
wrestling officials for obtain
ing the State championships
for the area in the future.
Coach Jay Arnold of High
Point credits good balance as
the chief reason for the sue
cess of the Eagles this year.
High Point has an 11-3 record
in the Maryland Bi-County
League and appears sure to
represent P rince Georges
County in the State Class IA
tournament.
High Point will play either
Glen Burnie or Wicomico for
the right to represent District
8 in the State playoffs. A VIC
tory in the district would cata-
putt the Eagles into the State
semi finals.
Arnold came to High Point
for his first head coaching job
in a high school three years
ago. He began developing the
sophomores at that time and
it has paid off this season.
The High Point starters are
Ron Holsey. Steve Connors,

was pointed out here by the Police Commissioner Com
missioner OF Public Safety. Certainly we do not want
list fights and bottles to be thrown INTO the air to fail
down among the people that are tramping. In fact it is
getting so now that during this last Carnival many Vir-
gin Islanders have come to me to tel. me that they as
Virgin Islanders are afraid to 60 into the tramps and
take part in Carnival now and that they are not going

Islands Style!x
know that in Rio de Janeiro six-or eight hundred
people get killed every Carnival. Well, that's all right
there; that's up to them! We don't want to interfere in
their doings. But we don't want violence here in the
Virgin Islands.
There are a lot Of things that went on; | would not
want to attribute them all to Carnival. But / do know
this: that when you have steel band tramps running in
to each other; when you have people hitting each other
in their faces-these are things that are alien to st.
Thomas and to the American Virgin Islands. And when
you have thousands Of people such as we had here for
Carnival, you have a tinderbox. We are very lucky that
We did not have an incident! We may not be that lucky
in the future.
Ishould like to make two proposals. propose that
between the Legislature and the Administration and
those that have worked with Carnival for several years,
a committee be formed of Virgin Islands citizens to look
into Carnival and to decide on its goals; what we want
of our Virgin Islands Carnival; what type Of behavior
and where exactly it is going. I would also like, at this
time, to publicly commend the Police Force for the
excellent job that it did here in st. Thomas during this
Carnival. / don't think that there is any question about
il. They were sh0rt-handed but they did a terrific job.
| would also like to commend them for cracking the case
of the stabbing of Mario Moorhead during a Carnival
tramp. ThatWas a disgraceful thing. / think that every
one in the Virgin Islands feels very strongly about it.
But I believe that we can applaud our Police Depart
ment Department of Public Safety for doing a mag
nificent job in experimenting and getting a confession
from the man Who stabbed Mario MOorhead. This was
police work at it's finest. And it's mighty nice to see our
Police Department Department of Public Safety doing
that kind Of work. But would not only like to applaud
Fe work Of the police force, | would also like to pay a
compliment on the record, M. Chairman, to the men of
he Home Guard.
Those men were out every day ond every nigh Of
this Carnival and they worked diligently; they did a fine
job. And can only hope that the Committee on Finance
will see fit to ~ecommend that a proper appropriation be

ADVERTISING THE ISLANDS

ONE OF H BIG steps taken to call attention to the
Virgin Islands is the awarding of a promotion contract to a
New York advertising agency. This step is in keeping with the
usual well accepted custom Of preparing the public for a pro.
duct which it is asked to a~ccept-and use-extensively. The
idea back Of it all is simple. If more people know, and want
rum, then we will sell more of it, and indirectly our people
will benefit from this increased income.
TWO WORDS OF WARMING seem appropriate, how
ever. First, $250,000, while a stable sum, is by no means
enough, Judging from the ambitious nature of the campaign
undertaken. Publishing in magazines such as Life, Holiday,
and tie Ney Yorker, is a highly expensive venture, and the
amount aiocated may 1ll short unless much mileage is sought
TIE SECOND WARMING is that there must be pre-.
paTation for any increase which will naturally result from this
publicity. Water, electrical energy, transportation, capable and
skilled workers, and all these must be taken into consideration
SC d4ss wnen the response to this advertising comes we will
be ready.
PEOGRAM SUCH AS the one undertaken to help adj
cerdse the Virgin Islands call for cooperation and coordination
between the several branches in order to produce the maxi
mum results. Any isolated effort is almost certainly doomed.
Be>eer reads, more parking space, greater recreational facil
ties, better hotel Recommendations at REASONABLE rats, waite
and electrical energy must certainly be taken into account.
w SHALL BE looking out for advertisements, for once
they begin to appear the results are almost certain to be
Favorable. Experience has proved this in countless instances,
and there is no reason to believe that the Virgin Islands will
be any different

inhalation Of cotton dust, have

Drs. c. b. McKerrow, Cam

ed on pilot study Of the preva-
lence of byssinOsis in this country
in the current Journal Of the A.

The authors urged that a COM
prehensive survey be made Oh
chronic respiratory disease in A
merican cotton mills similar to
surveys already being made in cot
ton mills in England and the Meth
erlands. In the United Kingdom
byssinOsis presents a serious pro-
blem," they said.
1T is important to find our
whether byssinOsis presents a pro
blem in the United States, the
largest producer Of cotton yarns
in the world" they said eff, az
may be suspected from the scanty
evidence available, the American
cotton industry is much less trou-
bled by this complaint than The
English industry, the asons
should be investigated"
1t should be possible to find Out
how much this difference between
the two countries may be due tt
