the papers of Alexander Hamilton, which will be in some &c
volumes, the first two of which are ready. 1t was most appro-
pirate that this work be undertaken at Columbia for Hamilton
was a student there during Revolutionary War days, when
that great institution was Kings College.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON worked here as a boy, be-,
fore working his way to New York. HOWEVER, as in SO many
other instances, history did not often ring a bell in these parts,
1t was not until a few years ago that our airport was named
for Hamilton. The very store in which he worked was known
for years and years as "Clendinens Store.
THE HAMILTON PAPERS should be added to our
libraries here in the Virgin Islands. Hamilton, it will be noted,
was quite a writer, and an extremely brilliant young man, SO
that his papers would be extensive indeed. These papers,
while primarily of interest to research students in American
history, should nevertheless provide excellent reading for even
our high school students because of the close connection be-
tween the writer and St. Crox.
AND WHILE ON the matter of history, and Hamilton,
this place might consider an appropriate statue to be placed
in a public place. The. tourist trade which has developed in
leaps and bounds, brings thousands and thousands OF visitors
every year. A connection between the present and the past is
always Of interest to visitors, and anything which points to 50
well known a figure in history is bound to attract attention.
Such a step, therefore, would seem most appropriate.
THE GOVERNOR, the Senate, and private citizens alike.
might Join in such a project. 1t would be both OF historical
significance, and a possible boost to what we have to Offer

Men: No One Shaving
Method Best For All Skins

CHICAGO Although men have
been shaving off their whiskers
since the fourth century BIC, the
best method of obtaining a clean
shaven appearance remains a mat
ter of opinion.
There is no scientific proof that
there is one best method for all
types of skin, according to an
article in the current (December)
Health magazine, published by the
American Medical Association.
Dr. Herbert Mescon, professor
and chairman of the department of
dermatology, B 0 ton University
School of Medicine, interviewed by
the magazine. said no one knows
for sure what the best method of
shaving is.
"We do know this, however, he
said. You can cut yourself just
as much with an electric razor as
with a blade. On the other hand,
the closer you shave, with either
instrument, the more abrasions
and hicks you can eXpect-and
blade razor shaves closer than an
electric razor But to date there's
no proof that any one method is
best for all skins.
Milford chronicle., 1961-12-22

Wash the face with soap and
hot water for at least one minute
to soften the whiSkers and remove
the water-resistant film of natural
oil that collects on them.
Rinse with hot water and ap-
ply shaving preparation. Allo W
shaving preparation to soak whis-
kers for 80 seconds.
Keep razor and face wet while
shaving.
Shave chin and upper lip last
to allow the heaviest concentra-
tion of whiskers the longest time
to soften
Dermatologists also recommend
that men with oily skin use a
lather-type of shaving cream and
a brush. an aerosol foam, or a
mentholated cream, the RITZ e
said. Men with dry or soap-sensi-
tive skins should use a brushless
cream which provides the most
fabrication, it said.
Changes in shaving instruments
and accessories will undoubtedly
come out of continuing research,
but the Improvements are likely
to be small in the foreseeable fu-
ture, the article said. However,
scientists predict that eventually
they may perfect a safety razor
that will not require beard prepar-
alton, it said.

The shaving process, he pointed
out, not only removes almost as
much skin as hair, but also pro-
duces multitude of tiny scrapes,
no matter how carefully it is done
This is true of any kind of shay
ing, wet or dry he said.
Shaving removes living skin as
well as the dead outer layers, DR.
Mescon said, but this doesn't mean
that shaving is harmful 1t may
stimulate the growth of new skin
and, in this way, be beneficial, he
said
The remarkable thing is that
shaving doesn't do more damage,
DR.. Marion B. Sulzberger, emeritus
professor of dermatology, New
York University, said, The face
doesn't show any wear from it. In
fact, stone subjected to the same
amount of scraping for 80 or 40
years would probably show more
wear.
Asked about after-shave lotions,
DR.. MescOn said to the average
person who has no trouble with
his skin they are of no real value
On the other hand, he said it was
his opinion that electric pre-Shave
preparations allow easier shaving.
American men prefer wet shay
ing to dry by more than two to
one. the article said, and offered
several tips for the wet shavers:

The Spark Of Hope

Human dignity is a compound of
many things. Certainly it is made
at least of fear and courage, an
guish and joy, despair and hope.
1t is much more; it is the complex
of the conflict and harmony of all
the emotions. These ingredients
are Mans alone. 1t is this unified
diversity that makes us human
it is the balance, sometimes slight,
of the positive over the negative
that gives us dignity.
1t is the task and the privilege
of the welfare worker to sustain
that dignity. For those beset by
the darkness of fear and anguish
and despair he strikes the spark
of hope. He makes a little light in
which a glow of courage and per-
haps a little pleasure can be seen
Where further unrelieVed hard
reaches out and tries to make a
man.
The welfare worker knows that
he cannot illuminate the world,
that the spark of hope does not
always ignite the tinder and even
when it does the dark horizon will
not be much inflamed by the re-
suits. But against the odds of
knowing there's too much to do
and too little to do it with he goes
about his job with a tireless de-
votion that would as often as not
do credit to a saint. And who can
deny the many times a dignity that
was about to be lost has been re-
stored by him?
His work is a noble one What
purpose can be more lofty than to
Milford chronicle., 1961-12-22

strike the spark of hope for the
very old, the very young, the nope
less, handicapped, despalrlng, the
deserted and the jobless?
And he does all this for you. He
is your conscience, your helplng
hand; he extends your sympathy,
your compassion and your support
for the dignity of Man He suffers
and feels pain intimately as he
shares the misery of those he tries
to help, as you suffer VlcarlouSly
when you're conscious OF tnelr
plight. But, too, he saVors the
pleasure of helping the helpless
and in this complex of pain and
joy he sustains his own dignity
and yours as well.
