joyment of "Sylphides," Of
course, varies in direct ratio
to the number of times you

it often enough that you could

It's very pretty, but it seems
to go on and on, which may be
the price paid for recreating
the ballet in a manner as close
to the original as possible. The
French dancers somehow
maybe simply by being French
girls-do give "Sylphides" a
little sex appeal, a novel touch
that does help some.

dancers contributing to it.

Aid Tn Alaska Mineral Development Sought

N44II2I d1 0GNG1OS S4iiGi1 SO09AAA
 The appointment of John M. Kelly of Roswell, N Mex, as As sistant Secretary of the Interior for mineral resources, was con- firmed by the Senate last week. He is the former state geologist for New Mexico.
 Sen. Gruening took advantage of Kelly's appearance before the Interior and Insular Affairs Com mittee to outline the need for action to bring mining back to Q position of importance in Alaska ; economy. As the various senators addressed questions to the nom- inee, prior to recommending con- firmation of his appointment, Sen. Gruening said:
 'We in Alaska are very much concerned about the low status of our mining industry. We have the reputation of having 31 of B critical minerals there, but nothing is happening. The only subsoil mineral that is being developed is oil. We have great tin deposits on the Seward Peninsula, and lead and gold. hope it is part of your activities in the formulation of the program to help us in develop ment of those mineral resources. Some of them are gravely needed. We have the only tin deposit in the Western Hemisphere, that is, on the North American continent, and it is in a very low state. AS you know, gold production is on the way down; most of the gold operations are about to be sus- pended, and the whole mining picture is very depressing. We hope that you will give your at tention to that problem in Alas ka as soon as it is possible for you to do."

Dr. Amerine Has Unusual ChOre
 Taste Tests Wine
By HdG Boyle

NEW YORK LP - Dr. Maynard Amerine, a distinguished scholar with sherry-colored hair and madera-colored eyes, has an un- usual academic chore.
 Each year, he must taste test some 1,500 different lost of wine.
 But in the daytime from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. - I never swallow any" he said.
 The testing is one of the duties that falls to Amerine as Director of the University of California's Department of Oenology, or wine making.
 The department operates its own winery and 150 acres of vineyards stocked with more than O00 varieties of grapes. It also is pioneering in the development of automatic grape harvesting.
 It's 50 students come from all parts of the world, including such famed wine centers as France, Germany and Portugal.
 At the end of the year Amerine, who can easily indentify 100 kinds of wine, expects his senior students to be able to classify by taste, color and aroma at least 25 of the popular wines.
 The students don't get to drink the wine. They merely sit in cubicles and sniff and taste the samples then expectorate them, as does a professional tester.
 A course in wine making might sound like collegiate boom doggle to the uninvited. It isn't.
 "We don't have the problem of the smart alec student looking for a snap subject. Before en- rolling our students have to have Is units of chemistry, 8 units of physics and g units of math, in- cluding calculus" Amerine said
 "The requirements are so stiff they eliminate all except the serious students, those really in- terested in finding career in the wine industry"
 The department spends nearly million dollars year in teach

Expansion of Native Handicrafts Encouraged

At the invitation of Sen. Gruen- ing, J. Edward Davis, general manager of the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, visited Capitol Hill this week to meet with the Sen ator and his staff and discussed means of enchancing the position of Indian and Eskimo crafts in the states economy.
 Davis said he was hopeful that Ronald William Senungetuk of Nome, who is now in Norway at tending the State Handicrafts and Arts School at Oslo on a Full bright scholarship, will join the Indian Arts and Crafts Board on his return to the United States this summer, so he can work par ticularly on expanding the scope of crafts work in Alaska.

HOIikaciluk Village In Desperate Need

ANCHORAGE R - HoHkachuk Village children need milk and the people of the village need flour if the Western Alaska vil- lage is 10 survive, according to a report received here today.
 The village council has sent a letter here "to appeal for infor- nation about which agency to contact to seek aid for the people of Holikachuk."
 The council said that the native store is out of canned milk and flour and the supply staples at two neighboring villages is also nearly exhausted. The council re- ported that villagers had gone to AnVik, 40 miles west, and Shageluk, Is miles south on the Innoko River, by dog team to get staples, but found that the sup plies were extremely low there.
 Because the trapping has been extremely poor this season and the unemployment compensation from seasonal work lis long gone, these people have no money to order these costly items from re- tail stores in Anchorage.
 A freight boat is not expected to bring new supplies of milk and flour until mid-June. The need for milk for the children is fur ther compounded, the council said, by the fact that a flu cpl demic has closed the school. Milk is needed to help restore their health, the council said.
 The village is located on the Innoko River and is only about 40 miles east of the Yukon River. When the breakup comes, the village will be entirely cut off from contact with their neighbors and it will be virtually impossible to send supplies to the village until the ice moves out, the coun- cil said.

MOSCOW iR - Maj. Yuri A. Gagarin said Thursday he easily worked and ate in a state of weightlessness on his orbital flight, and his body responded smoothly 10 the pull of gravity as his space ship headed for a landing.
 He floated in the cabin of his space ship as it whizzed at a speed of 17,000 miles an hour more than 100 miles above the earth, he told the official News Agency Tass somewhere in the Soviet interior. Other objects in the ship floated about him.
 "The transition from weight lessness to gravitation, he said, ''to the appearance of the force of gravity, is smooth. Ones legs and arms feel as before, as dur ing weightlessness, but again acquire weight. And l am no long CT hovered over the chair, but eased myself into it.

 The entire flight, he asserted, was work all the way and parti- cularly in that phase.
 Even so, he said, he felt ex- cellent during that period of his 108-minute flight,
 As he waited in the Soviet in terior for a hero's welcome in Moscow, the 27-year-old astro- naut told for the first time about his experiences as his five-ton space ship hurled around the earth.
 When I became Weightless, Gagarin said, it became easier to do everything.

 Gagarin said he learned first hand that weightlessness does not deprive a man of an ability to work.
 As to what he saw from space, Gagarin reported:
 "I did not see the moon. The sun in outer space is tens of times brighter than here on earth. The stars are visible very well. They are bright and dis tinct. The entire picture of the Armament is much more con- trasty than when seen from the earth
 Gagarin said the sunlit side of the earth was quite plain and he could see easily the shores of continents, islands, great rivers, folds of the terrain, large bodies of water.
 Flying over the Soviet Union, he reported he could see the great squares of the collective farms. He could even tell cultivated from meadow land, he said.
 Emphasizing he was no mere passenger as his space ship circled the earth at a maximum altitude of 188 miles, Gagarin Said
 q was entirely concentrated on carrying out the flights program. I wanted to carry out every point of the assignment and to do it as we'll as possible. There was a lot of work. The entire flight meant work"
 While the space ship was un- der ground control for the land ing, Gagarin helped with the control phases, Soviet scientists said when the historic flight was announced Wednesday.

ing and research. It is currently conducting perhaps the most active grape breeding project in the world.
 To Amerine, oenology is more than mere academic pursuit. To him the lore of wine is full of both poetry and romance.
 "A good wine must have a come-hither quality - something to stimulate the imagination.
 "A memorable woman or a wine must have a special individual quality - if either is too transparent, how can either be really interesting?"

All Express To Be Flown 10 Alaska

If the Civil Aeronautics Board approves a proposal now before it, the time required for express shipments to reach Alaska will be cut by as much as week, Sen. Gruening was advised this week by Joseph G. Feeney, vice president of REA Express. REA Express is the new name for the complete domestic and interna- tional surface and air services of Railway Express Agency.
 Feeney said his concern pro- poses to fly all express shipments to Alaska instead of using steam ship service via Seattle. No in- crease in rates is planned for the service, the Senator was told.

TITLE NOT SO GOOD

So @ 111LE WI #Oo SOOD
1T IS TIME that something be done about the title of
the Governors representative in St. Croix. At one time, when
DR.. Paul M. Pearson Was governor, the titluar head Of st. Croix
was a lieutenant governor. Then a change came, and the head
of ST. Croix was the administrator. Now he is the Governors
Representative. That, putting it lightly, is not good.
AMENDMENT OF H Organic Act may be necessary
to effect a change. May be it can be done by executive action,
and the Governor can solve the problem. But whatever the
method, for heavens sake lets change the name from Gov
errors Representative.
U WHY WANT the changer 1t is the contention in
this corner that this title does not fully express what is intend
ed in a democracy. The title as now used SmackS OF colonial
ism, leaving the expression that this island is some outpost
and that the governor, in order to preserve the interest OF the
home government, has stationed his representative in St Croix
THEN, THERE IS the implication that the Governors
Representative is responsible only to the Governor. That
should not be SO, and if it is, then it should be clarified forth
with.
ST. CROK IS a fullblown political entity, a subdivision
Of the Virgin Islands. We have two towns here, many villages,
and each town must be administered and taken care Of, with
all the functions of government necessary to the effective and
proper operation of the whole. The head of ST. Croix should
really be an official second only to the Governor. He has deci
sions to make. He has duties and responsibilities to perform,
and naturally, must account to the Governor. But he is head
of a place, and as such must carry on in a way which calls for
certain amount Of independent judgment, coupledw with prop
Ell authority. Being a representative does not always carry that
much with it.
PERHAPS We return to a lieutenant governor.
or may be even Administrator For ST Croix. Other titles which
might be considered as Assistant Governor, Executive AS
sistant for ST. CrOix, or even Commissioner for St. Croix. And
there are other possibilities. But at any rate, any Of these
would be better, much better, than Governors Representative

| Mr.. Canute Brodhurst
Editor : The st. Croix Avis
Christiansted, st. Croix, V. /.
Dear Mr.. Brodhurst:
Having read with great in
terest the Avis" editorial of
September 10Th (the letter Of
Mr.. John a. Yntema regarding
the Harvey Aluminium Cam
pany) I would like to make a
few comments which / hope
can be published with no great
delay.
It appears to be quite agreed
that st. Croix's future lies
largely with Tourism. But as
you have so ably pointed out
in m a editorials, no one
should put aall his eggs in one
basket" and agriculture must
never be neglected nor means
to encourage it be forgotten.
And a number Of diversified
small industries can add a
great deal to the prosperity of
ST. Croix.
However, allowing one very
large industry to enter here
poses several questions.
Has the legislature investi-
gated the Harvey Aluminium
Company's record on the West
Coast 49, its community rela-
tions after the plant had been
established for some time, its
compliance with contracts, its
labor relations? When so much
money is being appropriated
for much less important mat
tiers, it would seem worth
while for some personal inves-
tigation to be done by the le-
gisIature.
Since Puerto Rico has tax ex-
emptions, available harbours,
ample water supply and also
many laborers who lack work,
it seems quite odd that a CONF
pany such as the Harvey Alu-
minum would not choose to
locate there instead OF in st.
Croix, where there is no avail
able harbour for them, no wa
ter supply, no labor supply.
For it would have to be shown
that there are 400 or more I'M
employed Cruzans who could
qualify for the available noSi-

hide-and-seek. 1t requires two play
ers prudery and style - and the
game has been going on for a very
long time. The psychologists, who
have been very slow in graphing
with this problem, have come for
ward with an explanation which they
call ''The theory of the shifting
erogenous zone."
The theory amounts to this:
Woman, as a whole, is a desirable
object, but the mind of man is too
weak to take it all in at once. He is
therefore compelled to concentrate
upon one particular bit Of the female

body, and it is the object Of fashion
to draw attention to the current bit,
to emphasize it in every possible
way-by exposing it or drawing
the clothes tightly around it, or by
exaggerating its apparent size.
Once a particular emphasis has
been established, no one feels we'll
dressed without it. A woman in
1860 who was not wearing crinoline
felt slightly indecent. The same was
true of the exaggerated posterior Of
the hustle epoch and the fiat chest
Of the l92O's. Today a woman whose
skirts are too long feels out Of place.
