The ST. CROIX AVIS
Christiansted, st. Croix
Dear Mr.. Brodhurst,
In your issue Of February 18th
there appears a contribution
from the ST. Croix Historical So
ciety. Whoever is hiding behind
this facade Of anonymity and is
permitted to have published an
attack on the only two organiza-
tons that have made a genuine
contribution to the preservation
of our historical backgrounds?
AS a co-founder Of the st. Croix
Museum and as an active partici-
pant in its affairs for more than
ten years and as a member Of the
Landmarks League for twelve
years past ! wish to recite for the
Qualification Of your readers a few
of the major accomplishments OF
both organizations.
AS to the Museum let me say that
in common with most museums it
has been handicapped by the lack
of sufficient funds to accomplish
many OF its detectives. Neverthe-
less we are indebted to its Found
ers and the officers and staff for
the acquisition and display of the
invaluable collection of Indian
artifacts acquired from the estate
of the late Folmer Andersen.
This alone is not only of historical
significance but it has provided
pleasure and insight into our pre-
historic period for many thous-
ands who have visited this
museum.
If it had not been for the inter
minable delays in the restoration
of the Steeple Building by the
Federal Government for occu-
pancy by the Museum, much
greater progress in our displays
would have resulted. AS to the
restoration Of the Great House at
Whim let us remember that if the
Museum had not taken over
Whim this historic structure
would by now have largely dis
appeared thru the actions Of van
dalism and the natural elements.
And may ! remind you that our
consulting architect at Whim has
been Mr.. William G. Thayer who
needs no introduction to those in
st. Croix.
As to the Landmarks League and
the ill-conceived reference to
Limpricht Park let us remember
that had it not been for the con-
certed action of the League this
potential garden spot would now
have become a public parking lot,
thus most effectively destroying
an historic landmark. Beyond
this-and let's not forget 1.-THE
Landmarks League was t h e
prime mover in the establishment
Of the National Historic Site in
Christiansted which in turn led to
the participation Of the National

Jim Brown had more than

Joe Perry, presently with the

The Giants talked it over in

ity "the play that worked in

arched a long one that Barnes
grabbed for a 62-yard touch
down that gave New York an
insurmountable lead.
Meanwhile Hornung scored
10 points as the Packers
knocked the Bears into third
place in the West. Detroit

Redskins Find Workable Script
But Blow Chances to End Streak
BY LEWIS r. ATCHISON
Star staff Writer

Everything went according
to plan for the Redskins yes
terday at D. C. Stadium, except
that the Browns won. 17-6.
The strategy was to move the
ball mainly on the ground and
use only a few short passes to
keep Cleveland's secondary at
arms-length. Nothing sensa-
tional. Nothing fancy. And
that's the way it was.
The Browns chose the dra-
lnatic-a 48-yard field goal by
old Lou Groza, a S7-yard touch
down pass from Jim Brown,

the first toss of his pro career,
to Ray Renfro, and a nine
yard scoring pass from Milt
Plum to Rich Kreitling. This
was enough to keep them in
the thick of the Eastern Divi-
sion title race.
The Redskins had more
chances than you can buy in
a turkey rattle at the Elks Club
on Saturday night, but they
wasted all but one. This was a
gift touchdown in the third
quarter when Tackle Riley
Mattson recovered a fumbled
punt on the Cleveland one-yard
line and Don Bosseler plunged
over for the score. 1t didn't
save the day, but it kept them
from being whitewashed for
the fourth time this season.
No Relief in Sight
So now the record is II

year span, with no relief in
sight despite Coach Bill Nc
Peaks confident air.
IT still think we'll win a few
before it's all over" McPeak
told reporters, obviously un-
mindful that the season has
only five weeks to run. The
Redskins are nine time losers
so far in 1861.

have brought the team an up

McPeak, as usual, had no
comment on their mishaps and
no censure for the errant de-
fensive back who permitted
Renfro to get loose for the
pass from Brown.
