Anyone who has visited cramer PARK recently could never fail to
give one hundred per cent credit to Louis E. Brown, Commissioner
of Agriculture and Labor.
With limited funds all cramer Park really needs today are a
Waterman to protect property. especially at nights, a couple of Life
Guards, and some more garbage cans.
If funds are made available, MI. Brown would act immediately
Isn't it heartwarming to citizens when they can see public SER
wants performing satisfactorily? Paying taxes would not be hard be-
cause the taxpayer will know for sure that he is getting returns.
In other words, one gentleman, formerly a continental, now a
Crucian, said "Cramer Park is a monument to Louis Brown. With
this I agree.
A clean beach-always; tennis court; volleybal courts, etc. and
playing accessories furnished free all for 20 cents admission for adults
and 10 cents for children. a quarter would not have been too much
The Public Works Department is doing as usual a commendable
job. Always the whipping boy" for almost everybody over the years,
because it lacked funds, it is now doing a job worthy of commenda-
ton, on streets, highways and extension of sewer disposal lines.
Badly needed in both towns are garbage baskets 0 street cor
ners- a good citizen with waste paper for disposal will put It into
his pocket until he reaches home and his own garbage can; how
ever, he could hardly be expected to do the same with an empty
juice can or malt bottle.
It would be a nice thing if the parking lines in front Of Rasmus,
sens storewere reprinted Anyone who thinks or says that Rasmussen
is being favored is just plain silly.
How disgusting it is when you drive up to the Post Office to
find three tiny cars parked in such a manner that if the lines were
there, the same space could easily accommodate five cars.
Another ridiculous thing is the parking of a motorcycle or scooter
in the center of an area to accommodate a car!
The Department Of Public Safety could, of course, make these
adjustments.
The salary for Policemen is good. There are many young men
who have seen service with the United States Armed Forces and
would, undoubtedly make good policemen.
1t would be appreciated if the Commissioner Of Public Safety
make available the standard set for Policemen in the Virgin Islands
Such information will be published without cost.
There is now a Deputy Commissioner of Traffic. He is carrying
on studies and, with his training and the mass Of information on
traffic that he has, we look forward to general Improvement.
For one thing there should be a standard method OF signal by
the Police. At present almost every officer has his own method OF
directing traffic which, at times, is very confusing to drivers.

American Nations Unite in a Mighty
 Push for Progress

PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay R Western Hemisphere statesmen put the finishing touches today on a historic declaration allying the American States in a mighty push for progress.
 President Kennedy's alliance for progress program will become a reality Wednesday when minis ters of 20 American States-and perhaps 21 - gather for a eere- monial signing of the declaration of Punta Del Este. It will be the final act in the Inter-American Economic Conference which has been meeting here since Aug. 5.
 A U. s. source said Kennedy's representatives at the Inter-Amer- ican Conference feel strongly that the alliance will inspire Latin Americans to help themselves. Self-help is one of the most inn portant aspects of participation in the program.
 ''Most of the nations realize,' y the informant said, that f they are going to develop at all, they must mobilize their own re- sources"
 The United States plans to pou1 more than a billion a year fol the next 10 years into Latin American development. It hope! this will be swelled .hp a total O S20 billion by other foreign ait sources, including private in vestors and governments of Eu rope and Japan.
 One big question remained a the 12-day conference drew to close - and it makes little diff ference which way it finally i answered. That is whether tht Castro regime will sign the fina declaration.

Bomber and Fuel Tanker Collide Both Land Safely

SACRAMENTO, Calf. LR - For 20 tense minutes, two damaged jets - a bomber and a tanker - circled high above the Pacific after colliding.
 Their shippers talked by radio with Air Force brass and engi- neers from the company that made the planes, trying to decide whether to ditch 50 miles off the coast or try to land at Mather Air Force Base near here.
 Finally, the planes were ordered to Mather. They landed success fully and none of the crew was in- jured.
 The Air Force Sunday revealed the details of the collision which occurred at 5:44 D. m. Saturday.
 Col. Merrill N. Moore told how the KC-135 tanker and the B-52 bomber tangled but declined to say if the B-52 carried nuclear weapons.
 The tanker had fueled the bomber when one of it's crew members noticed smudges on the B-52's left wing, Moore related.
 It. Col. Garland Smith of Sac ramento moved his tanker close to the bomber to take look.
 He had been asked to do this by Capt. Charles Layton of Sacra- mento, pilot of the B-52.
 The crash ripped two-thirds of the stablizer section of the tail assembly from the B-52 and tore away an engine from the four engine KC-135.

 Alfred Lobley, 93, who rode an old scoW through the White horse Rapids to the shining prom ise of Alaska, tells the tale:
 Lobley said "t h Swede," Charlie Anderson in private life, got his nickname when two city slickers got him drunk at 40- Mile on the Yukon and sold him claim for $500.
 It turned out, Lobley said, "An- derson sunk a shaft down 28 feet and struck it rich"
 The oldtimers will talk about people like "Sparerib Jimmy" the thin man; "Jerkine Sam," who drove ten-horse team; Deep l1OlC oo11l 1loOll, WllO WdS lilt III oI to sink a 100-foot shaft; and the Bible Kid" who Lobley said "got the name because of his habit of giving Bible reading on a street corner so he could take up a collection and get back into a poker game"
 Then there was "SWiftwater Bill" who created a stir when he visited Seattle in 1897 and threw gold nuggets out of hi: hotel window to crowds on tht , sidewalk below And he tipped , bellboys to page him as King O the KIondike."
 The men and women who pio- neered the Yukon during the Gold Rush Days and afterWard those who laid the foundations to the 18th State, will come from all over the country for the reunion.
 It'll be like the Stampede of 1897 - only this time they are coming to Seattle to relive the old times
