THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD WORK FORCE
OF HI problems which plaques this place is the
evident lack Of skilled artisans. Without these competent
hands to perform work, at a high level, and when needed, the
economy Of this place can suffer untold harm, and perhaps
even never recover.
NO ECONOMY CAN exist without a labor force skilled,
ready and willing to make its contribution. Houses must be
built repaired and maintained; factories must be run, skilled
hands, must keep machinery in constant production, and ser
vice must be such as to make it easy for the community to
function at any and all times. No one can doubt that these
are lacking, and lacking in too great a quantity.
w OF principal reasons for industry seeking to
establish itself in a new territory are q tax advantages; {) an
adequate labor market. Without these no new industry will
even take. a second look. There would be no point whatever
in trying to open a factory if good, competent hands are not
available, and even if available, does not have the continuity
which gives assurance of production goals.
o YEARS EFFORTS of one kind OF another have been
made to set up trade schools to meet this very need, but all OF
them somehow fell through. The reasons need not be gone
into at this point, but the future is screaming for skilled help,
and these Islands will simply sink, unless they are prepared
to stand on their own feet.
BUT ATTITUDE CANNOT be overlooked. Somewhere
along the way people must realize that work, any works.
honorable; that without it chaos follows, and an entire town,
or region can suffer. Hotels, for example, cannot survive I'M
less there are good waters, maids Of all kinds, cooks and kit,
chen help, plumbers and maintenance men, bellboys and
clerks. Each in his own right is a necessary and important
person, but that Importance is only in terms Of that workers
ability to realize that the greatest contribution he can make is
his faithful prompt and efficient operation in his particular
assignments.
IN HI ABSENCE Of trade schools as such, the high
schools Of the Islands have a responsibility to oAer. the types
of courses which will not only equip those who want to 60 to

COMPARED TO GREECE

Two of the statements repeated
most at the 4-day conference was
one made by a visitor, in reply to
the problem of keeping Virgin Is
landers at home. He said: Greece
became great because it always
could produce more brilliant men
than it could use itself"
James Bough made a similar,
oft-repeated statement, when he
revealed that studies by the Unit
ed Nations had shown that Where
ever there is a complete education
al system-elementary and high
schools and a college-that place
was always more advanced, even
if the educational system were
faulty, than in a place where there
is not a complete system, even if
the units that exist are good"
There was one word spoken
more often than any other, it was
the word, generalization"
In answer to those who argued
that generalization of the high
schools should come first" the
counter-argument was made that
existence of the college, by inn
proving teachers, would contribute
to accreditation. In fact, someone
said that the mere talk of a coll
lege had done more to p~opularize
the idea Of generalization than any
thing else before.
Governor PaieWonsky was seen
at several of the functions spon-
sored for the guests and was host
to a reception in st. Thomas on
Friday afternoon. He also spoke at
the Sunday meeting in Christian
Sted.

Future Nurses
tContinued from Pare one,

lecting for the Heart Fund. Dur
ing the Easter Vacation the Fu-
ture Nurses put on a special
program for the Smyrna We'll
fare Home where, dressed as
Easter Rabbits, the girls distrib-
uted Easter Eggs to ZIG pa
tents. During the immuniza-
ton programs carried on the
district schools the girls assist
ed in checking consent slips and
organizing the younger students
for their shots. In order to ben
eft the entire district, the Fu-
ture Nurses sponsored a film
"The Breath of Life" which ex-
planned mouth to mouth rescue
work. This method now approx
ed by the Red Cross is being
explained to all students in the
school. Posters demonstrating
this work were also displayed
in the bulletin boards through
out the district. In their SER
vice to the school the girls serv-
ed as assistants at the refresh
ments booths of the P. T. A.
at home football games. Par
ent's Magazine has cited the Flu
ture Nurses Club of Smyrna on
two occasions for their out
standing service to the CON-
munity. The girls indicated that
they were particularly grateful
to their spons sor, Mrs. Clara
Sparr and to the wives of the
doctors of the Smyrna-Clayton
community who h ave assisted
them from time to time in their
program.

U. D. Faculty
Gives Freshman
Early Assignment

The faculty of the University
of Delaware has made a sum-
mer assignment for the incom-
ing Class of 1865. Dean John
E. Hocutt has asked new stud
ents to read three books in
preparation for freshman orien-
tation week in September. The
books are Walter Lippmann's
THE Public Philosophy" James
B. Conant's Science and Com
mon Sense" and a book of gen.
eral value, "How to Study Sue
cessfully." During the orienta-
tion program, freshmen will at
tend two lectures based upon
these books by Professors Mar
shall Knappen and Robert F..
Jackson. Following the lectures
there will be group discussions
on the books and the lectures.
Dean Hocutt said that in re-
cent years entering freshmen
have inquired about ways in
which they might profitably use
their leisure time in the sum-
mer to prepare for their col
lege experience. This year it
was agreed that a specific as
signment might benefit all stu
dents and take advantage of the
purposeful attitude which they
have shown.

but finishing fifth in his season
opener. His triumph came in
the $4,000 Miracle Mile Pace
at New York's Roosevelt Race
way with Eddie Cobb driving.
The Butler won by one-and-a-
quarter lengths, pounding out
the last quarter alone in a wing
ing :28.3.
His season debut was not as
eventful as he turned in fifth
place finish on a soggy track to
Jack Dreyfuss, Jr.'s recent cost
ly acquisition, False Step, in the
$25,00 New Frontier Pace.
Driver Cobb was quoted as say
ing that "the track, better hors-
es and racing luck" beat Adois
Butler.
Being the fastest harness
horse of all time (1:54.3) and
one of the top ten money win
ming PAGERS ever to race, it's
doubtful there are Better Hors-
es." But even champions have
losing days.
Adois Buffers stockpile of
achievements is topped perhaps
by his clean sweep of the COW
eted Triple Crown of Pacing in
1853 feat never before or
since accomplished. He was a
formidable winner of The $IIO,-
994.29 Messenger Stake in a
record 2:00.l; the $76,582 (rec-
ord purse) Little Brown jug in
a stake record at the time of

the Harpsichord Concerto by
Washingtonian Robert Evett.
Since the audience included at
least as many out-of -towners

ascribed solely to local pride.
There is no denying that
this rather curious and eclectic
piece had a Prokofiesque wit
and charm that were hard to

composer was trying to kid us
