EDITORIAL
GoVERNMENT-FIRST HAND
IT IS MOST appropriate that the Hampton Experimental
College should include a course in state and local government
in its curriculum for this summer.
3 A M years these Islands have gone along,
often haphazardly, hHandl miss,t taking chances here and there,
and most often just getting by. Fortunately, many of our lead
ers were learned men and women, but the lack Of general in
formation as to what should llyconstitute government in the
true democratic sense caused a slowing down and considerable
loss of everything.
GOVERNMENT WAS for many years thing apart, look
ed upon with suspicion in certain instances, and with undue
paternaliSm in others. Examples of these can be cited by the
hundreds. To function properly and effectively the time had
come when greater numbers of our citizens, and more especial
" the responsible ones, had to come to grips with the Govern
ment, and know and appreciate its functions, duties and res
possibilities.
H TEMPTATION is too great to resist mention here
that not many years ago there existed a feeling that the
strength, stamina and craftsmanship of a candidate for office
was determined almost exclusively by how strongly he could
blast" the governor, the administration, and everyone in gov
eminent. And companion to that fallacy was the thought that
since the government was here to provide any and all things.
the thing to do was to sit back and let the government do it all
U THE COURSE in government, given at this time.
to a large group Of educators, can be a most valuable instru-
ment in changing the whole public attitude to its government
No comment in this direction could be fair, or complete with
out calling attention again to the work being done by Pr.
Fleming. His recent move in inviting distinguished public Of
ficials and citizens to conduct discussions on certain phases Of
government is invaluable.
THEN, TOO, THIS BRINGS to mind the reservoir Of
native talents and abilities which could be used by these Is
lands. BIt for the opportunity to serve in this capacity, the
vast majority Of our people would have known only that q
native Of these Islands taught at Morgan College in Baltimore,
and that he was qualified. Now everyone, including the Gov
eminent, will know that there is one more individual who
could render great service if but called upon, Nor does that
mean that he will be a candidate for public office. There are

Protective legislation has

the cooperation of native fish

plea is directed to all fisher

commendable program to pro-
vide what may some day re-
suit in an organized turtle

Congress Urges Dept.
Of Interior to Sell
Power Division

In refusing to vote funds for
expansion of the power facili-
ties for the Virgin Islands re-
Gently, the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee directed the
Department of Interior to ex-
plore the possibility Of encour-
aging private enterprise to
take over and expand the ia
1cilitiesI according to a news
item in the Home Journal.
The article continues: "The
Senate Committee on Interior
and Insular Affairs approved
the request for an additional
SIS million to permit installa-
ton Of additional general
ing facilities on st. Thomas
and st. Croix, but the Appro-
priations Committee refused
to go along. It urged that the
matter be considered in a Sc
parate appropriation bill next
year, and that in the meantime
effort be made to induce pri-
vate enterprise to invest in the
expansion of the power plants.
Governor PaieWonsky has,
gone on record in opposition
to the sale of the power facili-
ties to private enterprise. Re-
Gently he assured Congress
and the Department of the In
terror that the Virgin Islands
Government would purchase
the power facilities at full
book value whenever the Vir-
gin Islands Corporation is
ready to dispose Of the power
system.

Released by Nutlonul
Pork Service
Nearly 1000 baby green tur-
ties we're released this week at
Lameshur Bay in Virgin IS
lands National Park on st.
John, it was announced today
by the National Park Service.
The release represents local
participation in a long-range
project to save the green tur-
tie in the Caribbean as an i'm
portant food source.
Through the efforts of the
National Park, Service and
Jackson Hole Preserve, Inc,
DR.. Archie Carr, Technical
Director Of the Caribbean Con-
servation Corporation, Depart
ment of Biology, University
of Florida, shipped 1,2O0 baby
turtles from the hatchery at
Tortuguero to Superintendent
John G. Lewis. In addition to
National Park Service person
mel, Senators Hugo Reese and
Theovald Moorhead, and Ad-
ministrative Assistant to the
Governor George Simmonds
participated in the release of
the baby turtles which have a
shell measurement of approx
mately two inches.
At one time, the green tur-
ties moved in great fleets
throughout the Caribbean and
along Central America; how
ever, injudicious slaughter and
the collection of eggs reduced
the population to only one ma
ior fleet breeding on a beach
on the coast of Costa RIGA call
ed Tortuguero.
Through the efforts of about
$50 persons (the Brotherhood
of the Green Turtle) an organi
alton was set up in the Carib-
bean called the Caribbean Con
servation Corporation. The
Costa Rican government grant
ed exclusive beach protection
rights to the Corporation, for
fishermen had been killing the
turtles when they came up
from the sea to lay eggs. The
