The fight to prevent Ralph Paiewonsky from being named Gov
ernor of the Virgin Islands SHOULD be a warning to natives as to
what is taking place right here.
Over in ST. Thomas, ONE man, it appears, has a lot of money;
he wants to be Governor of the Virgin Islands--same ambition as
Texas segregationist Bill Daniel-another, has no money and wants
a job; he has the political knoW-hoW to use pressure tactics; both
came to the Virgin Islands just a few years ago and, of course, they
JUST LOVE the Iaands--but deep down in their hearts they have
the same thoughts as the Purtans who when they landed in Virginia
is said to have made the following observation: What the hell do
these natives want with a beautiful place like this!' Wel4 it is said,
history repeats itself?D.
Over here he has a worthy representative, who saw PaieWonsky
only as "a Jew. That is something the rest of us had never thought
of all these years. We've always known him as a sincere, honest and
Woodworking man, tremendously interested in the progress of his
homeland.

Mr.. Michael du Shant, the very handwriting and conscientious
executive secretary of the local chapter of the American Red Cross
is to be commended for doing a good job. But speaking to the Rotar-
ians las. Thursday MIR. du Shant made a statement to the effect that
prior to his coming to St Croix half of the people here had never
heard of the American Red Cross.
Come, come, now Mr.. du Shant. You must ask some questions
and get information about us here in 81. Croix before you make such
statements. You have no idea the campaigns that were carried out
here, and in fine style, even before there were ten continentas liv-
ing or the island.
Why, sir, the records will show the over-subscribed campaigns
used to close with a gala ball-gentlemen in tux and ties, if you
please. If only the ballroom in Government House and other places
could speak! We do appreciate your efforts, but don't throw the
cream pie into our faces
By the way, when announcement was made that Paiewensky was
named Governor one guest exclaimed: Now we all might as well
drop dead.
A question we would like to ask our well-meaning "continentas
friends: When speaking, especially to natives you say jestngly
"nawn'. Whom are you mimcking? Check well on facts; you will
find that "mawn" is not even Crucian in origin.
Not that it is too important but our friends should know that
It's not funnv-to us. at least
The, way to win friends and influence good people is just be
yourself and, in many instances, act your age.

Whenever there is distress at sea, even within sight Of land,

back and forth in the Jeep supplied him and try to find someone
who owns a boat, beg or implore the owner to take him to the scene
of the accident. Imagine that!

quite some time ago, but up to the present whenever there is report
of a accident at sea, both Police and Harbornaster must go running

A few promotions were made recently in the Police force by
Commissioners Jack Monsanto. It was all done so quiety--not a word
was said to the newspapers or the radio
The Commissioners apparently feels that it might not be very
long now, so why bother about good public relations. Or, he is pro-
badly embarrassed by some of the promotions.
AS a matter of fact, His Excellency, the Governor had to be call
ed in to speak encouraging words to help calm some Of the mutinous-
minded men.
1t must be admitted that Commissioner Monsanto tried to do a
good job. Even though we may not see eye to eye with him on many
things there has been tremendous improvement all around in the
Department of Public Safety.

We are reminded that the man who would be Governor of the
Virgin Islands, so it is said, has lived in St. Thomas for many years;
we in st. Croix had never heard of him, of course. He must have
been in seclusion-just waiting for THE DAY when he would be-
come governor. We here enjoy surprises, but not That kind.

SURVEY SHOWS

NEW YORK--The number of
unemployed Negroes in a Uni
ted States city frequently is one
third of the total of its jobless
workers, a National Urban
League survey showed.
The league made the survey
based on figures from local en-
ployment bureaus, welfare de-
partments and other sources in
so cities.
Lester B. Granger. national
executive director of the league,
said with Negroes as a rule
concentrated near the bottom of
wage and skill ladders, they in
evitably feel the first effects of
widespread unemployment.
when job discrimination is
actively practiced by sections of
industry. both management and
labor, this becomes an unbear-
able racial tax.
The survey showed that l7.3
per cent of Negro workers are
jobless in Chicago, ST percent
of that city's total unemployment
rate.
In Detroit. ll2.OOo Negro job

Does this type of TV violence disturb our chill

In this connection, the authors note that one of

g. Whof children use TV for. According to the sur
vey, it is accurate to say that the child uses
TV than that televsion preys on children. And, in
using TV, children ignore educational benefits, and
are content to lean on televison as a means of
escaping real-life problems and boredom.
The researchers also discovered that the child
who has poor relationships with his parents, with
other children, is much likely to try escape
into TV fantasy. EFF children did not have needs
for fantasy the authors point out ''they would not

they have to escape from problems i'll real life, the
more likely they to television for escape and
to live in its fantasy life rather than in reality"
