in the fleet, was we'll aware

Although it cannot be said
for certain, it is entirely prob

noon and 1890 pm. on Novem-

The PocahontaS, arriving late
on the scene, went into action
aginst the Fort on Hilton Head
at noon. A half hour later.
Gen. Drayton left the Fort to
muster his reserves-and still
later to direct the Confederate
evacuation.
Percival Drayton, who died
shortly after the war ended,
never mentioned the affair for
the record. Neither did Thomas

in Georgia after the war and
later became an insurance man

Northeast AirIines
Control Plea Pushed

scope of the hearing should
be limited, Mr.. Seligson said
that if a need for renewal of
Northeast's Florida services can
be shown, there remains the
question as to whether North
east is able to provide the Serv-
ice.
Until the record is developed
as to the identity of Northeast's
future ownership and control,
the extent of its financial back
ing and similar matters. it
would be most difficult to de-
eide whether Northeast is fit"
Mr.. SeligSon said.
Would Complicate
He added that while normally
| it might be best to consolidate
the two cases, in this instance
consolidation would unneces-
sarily complicate the issues and
delay a decision.
Mr.. Seligson proposed that
the route case and the control
case be heard separately but
coucurrently.
He said Hughes Tool has
asked for speedy approval of
it's request for authority to
gain control of Northeast, and
the bureau concurs in the need
for rapid determination of this
issue.
Mr.. Seligson added that the
tool company's interest in ac-
quiring Northeast might be
diminished or eliminated should
Northeast lose it's Florida route.

PASTORAL LETTER ISSUED BY THE NEW
ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF THE VIRGIN IS.

earth, united to Him by grace,
and then united with Him for all
eternity in Heaven.
But the world today tries to
focus mans entire attention on
that natural life or man, to focus
mans entire attention on things
of this earth, material things. 1t
tries to shut God out of mans
life, tries to make us forget that
we r made for higher things,
that we are made for God and
God alone. God created us for
Himself. That is why st. Angus
tine says, The heart of man was
made for Thee, O God, and it
shall not rest until it rests in
Thee" Man does not rest until he
rests in God. The world would
have us forget this.
The philosophy of the world to-
day is this: anything that serves
my body, that adds to its comfort
and pleasures, is good; anything
that interferes with its comfort
and pleasure is an evil. This is a
natural philosophy. But we should
live by a supernatural philosophy.
The world would take God and
His laws out of the world, it
would take God out of our schools,
out of our government, out of our
art, out of our literature, out of
the life of each md1v1ouaI. AND
yet we know that God created the
world and all things in it and sus-
tains it by His power.
AS Catholics in the world today
we have to struggle to hold on to
the meaning of our relation to
God, creature to Creator, and
more, redeemed to Redeemer. For
this God who created us, when
we were doomed by the sin of our
first parents, Himself redeemed
sion and Death. God so loved us
sio nand Death. God SO loved us
that He became man, and this
God made man. suffered, and
died on the cross because there is
sin in the world, the original sin
of our first parents, and the in
Vulnerable sins of men. And the
world would have us forget the
Passion of Christ and the cause of
that Passion, sin. No matter what
the world tries to teach us and
lead us to believe, we have to rea-
lie that certain things are Of
lenses against our God and we
have to make amends for them.
Surely then as good Catholics
we shall grieve for every sin
committed and be eager to do pen
ance for them, not only by the

Bishops House,
st. Thomas, ". L.
Very Rev. and Rev. Fathers,
Venerable Sisters, and beloved
Faithful:
Being now in the season of
Lent, it is the time to mediate on
the words of st. Luke: "Unless
you do penance, you shall all like
wise perish" Nc doubt the vast
majority of the Catholics in the
~Prelature have started dcA1g acts
OF pennance, a worthy way to
pass the Holy Season of Lent and
to prepare oneself for the glorious
feast of Easter.
The purpose of this letter is to
implore the good people of the
Prelature to perform acts Of pen
ance, not as solitary, isolated acts
of penance, not as something con-
fined to the season of Lent, but to
perform them repeatedly and con-
tinually with a view to forming
the habit of doing penance. For
when you have the habit of per-.
forming acts of penance, then you
are practising the virtue of pen
ance.
The virtue of penance consists
in, first, grieving over every sin
ever committed because it has of
Tended God, and secondly, eagerly
seeking means to make amends
for those sins. These sins may be
our own, or the sins Of others.
Our Blessed Lady told the
world in her revelation at Fatima
that the world must do penance
for its many offenses against God.
But today the need of penance in
the world is even greater. The
need of Catholics to practice the
virtue of penance, to have the
habit of being sorry for sin and
eager to make amends, is even
greater. Why? Because the world.
is losing its concept of sin, losing
the idea of what sin is. This is be-
cause the world is trying to for
get mans relation to God.
We Catholics know, and we
Catholics should strive to keep it
before the minds Of all people,
that we are creatures and God is
our Creator. From that it follows
that we are to adore God as the
Supreme Being, we are to obey
God who has Supreme Dominion
over us, we are to give thanks to
God, the reason Of our existence,
for having given us life. He has
given us a natural life to be lived
here on earth, but more impor-
tant, he has given us supernatural
life, to be lived, first here on

FINALLY, IN THIS day Of self-determmation which is
the acid test of democratic principle, the United States Gov
eminent can scarcely do less than appoint a native, which,
while far away from self-rule, is nevertheless one slightest

hands of the clock, and is was most unlikely that President
Kennedy would have dealt such a blow to his new frontiers

EDITORIAL

THE GO~VERNORSHIP-A RIO JOB
AT S. PRIEST of the Washington Star, noted that
Secretary UdalI of the Interior had said at a news conference
that speculation that Paiewonsky plans to turn the Islands
into a resort for Caribbean gambling sounded to him simply
like fallout from the very lively politics" played here. Two
very significant conclusions can come from the Secretary,s
remarks.
FIRST, IN LABELLING the question as fallout," and
very lively politics, it is safe to say that we have already sue
ceeded in getting ourselves in the position where not too seri-
Gus attention will be given to any position we may take, and
before we know it we will have acquired the full stature OF
the shepherd boy who cried, wolf, vol"
H SECOND POINT is that the nomination will go
right ahead as planned. This says that nobody has come up
with a good enough reason, well founded in face and logic to
even make a ripple on the Secretary Of the Interior. In other
words, we have Just blown off SO much steam, and nothing
will be done.
WHOEVER IT IS that puts out this gambling story
should at least try to be more subtle about it. It is illogical
that after over 20 years of public life, with five full terms in
the local legislature, and during a time when the economy of
the Islands were in more serious condition, Mr.. ~PaieWonSky
would select this time to come up with a proposition to trans
form these Islands into a gambling paradise, Further, we give
him more credit than that, and certainly he is more aware OF
politics than to make his position known, even Il uat were
his position. He would at least wait until he was safely in be-
fore coming forth with such a proposition.
THESE ISLANDS have to be careful. AS more and more
people come to Join US, and set up camp here, there is a great
tendency on the part of some to translate their spending
power into political, social, and dictatorial powers. The mere
spending of money should not convince a citizen that he is q
fit candidate for governor. And to add insult to injury, these
thoughts are often entertained by the newest of newcomers.
HI POSITION OF Governor of the Virgin Islands is
an important one. It should be taken seriously, and considered
only by those who want to make a real contribution in terms
Of ideas, hard work, devotion and planning It should never be
sought as a stepping stone, or for the mere satisfaction of
