Citing gains in indu~strializa-

Americans who think of Puerto

as a surprise that Puerto Rico is
clawing its way into the modern
industrial world"

More than 800 new factories have

Teller in predicting the island will
become "the winter capital of
half a world" AT the same time,
the magazine says musicians like
Pablo Casals and Jesus Sanroma,

creative ideas Of the two Amer
icas. I'm is years, the island has

The Annual meeting of the
membership of the St. Croix Mu-
scum was held on January 8, 1861
in the st. Johns Parish Hall.
Henry E. Rohlsen, the chairman,
presided. He reviewed the acti-
vitieS of the Museum during the
past year, particularly emphasiz-
ing the fact that the work on the
Steeple Building had commenced,
a contract having been let by the
National Park Service, which
body has control Of the building.
The work on the Whim Great
house would be resumed when
the funds already appropriated,
are released by the Ensular Gov
eminent, he said.
The Chairman expressed thank
to all those who helped the Mu-
scum during the past year. He
gave special praise to Mrs. Will
liam Gregory, retiring trustee, for
her fine work during the past 8
years on the Board. Mrs. Gregory
helped bring in needed funds to
the treasury, and mentioned that
she worked hard on special pro
jects such as the Whim restora-
ton.
Miss Valmoer Jacobs, Museum
Attendant, who completed ten
years of unbroken service with
the Museum, came in for high
praise also.
Mr.. Rohlsen cited Museum Di-
rector Cyril Marshall's efforts to
keep the Museum going during
the past ten years despite many
difficulties.
II fecognltlon OF the line re-
cord of Miss Jacobs, she was pre-
sented with an engraved silver
tray by George Van Ripper, a for
mer chairman of the Board of
Trustees, on behalf Of the mem
bers.
&
Fred Guessing, architect for the
National Park Service and super
visor of the work on the Steeple
Building, outlined the plans for
its future use.
The mailed-in ballots gave Clay
ton S. Shoemaker SO votes; Ro-
bert Mobiles IS. They will serve
for three years. Hubert Hilder re-
ceived 80 votes; Mrs. Elena Chris

First Cousins
Speaking of basketball, it looked
for time as if two first cousins
from different sections of the State
would be opposing each other in the
Glass A high school finals.
Jay Martin, six-foot-five forward
of Boonville High, 25 miles west of
Winston-Salem, shot SO points in
the final game with Beaufort, but
his team lost by SO to 81. He is the
son of Boonville Principal Albert
Martin, who played basketball and
baseball at Campbell and Wake
Forest 80 years ago. They say sew
eral schools are after him-not only
for his basketball ability but his
average of 92 through high school,
Gary Martin is the six-foot-six
son of Red Oak Principal Joseph A.
Martin. Red Oak is an old school
community a few miles west of
Rocky Mount. With Martin leading
the scoring with 25 points, Red Oak
placed third in the Class A Tourna-
ment by downing Colfax 61-5S in an
overtime.
Gary's dad played some basket
ball and a lot of baseball at Camp
bell College and Wake Forest in
1882. His son has averaged
about 95 in his studies throughout
high school. A few days ago he was
offered $2,5O00-per-year scholar
ship at the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
These Martin boys are the neph-
ews of Leroy Martin, Raleigh ed
ucator and banker who died few
days ago.
Truck Sales Increase
Just as we went to press we re-
ceived from the Dept. of Motor
Vehicles new car sales in the State
for February. They show that a
total of 1927 were sold this Feb
ruary as against 7,749 for Febru-
airy of 1860. Not much recession
that.
New truck sales in February
were 1889 as compared with only
1877 for the same month last year.
And that is a good sign of good
times. Industry.
Chevrolet was in first place in
new cars at 1872 and Ford was sec
ond at 1,317-and that was about
the same way it ran a year ago.
Falcon was in third place in Feb
ruary of this year, with Pontiac

RALEIGH - AS of March 90
scant six weeks after converting
of the Legislature-there were five
different Plans in the hopper for
getting taxes to keep the Ship OF
State moving in the next two years,
Only one Plan-that of the Gov
ernor's--would put a tax on food.
The original Plan-the one left
by the Hodges Administration
would have no new taxes at all, OF
any Importance, and little new pro-
gress either.
The three other Plans are com
binations of tobacco taxes, alcohol
soft drinks, and beer and wine.
Various combinations-and some
times called packages.
These three packages and the one
left by the previous administra-
ton have three things in common:
l. They were designed by good,
honest sincere men.
2. They avoid a tax on food.
8. Not one of them-unless a
miracle occurs-will dc the job
Terry Sanford was elected to do.
Now Is The Time
There are literally hundreds of
little PTA groups all over North
Carolina and they are usually
into everything all the way
from ceremonial setting out of dog
woods on Arbor Day to solemnly
passing resolutions in support Of
Federal Aid to Education.
They have often been accused in
times past-and with reason-of
being busy bodies and eager beav-
ers. They do untold good.
But now each PTA group IN
North Carolina has an opportunity
to do something more important
than getting a new curtain for the
stage. They have something they
can get their teeth Understanding
to fight for.
But they can't be for Governor
Sanford's Educational Program
really for it-unless they are back
of his Tax Program to support it.
Anything else is mere mouthlng'
mere lip service-sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal.
To be divided-by tobacco, by
soft drinks, by whiskey, by beer
bv wine, etc., etc.-is to be conquer
ed. Watch that fellow with the
smirk at the switch: He'll sidetrack
you.
Too Many Saints
Well, basketball is over for nine
months. Because of its small ex-
nense as compared with football
and also because of its perpetual
action-it has become the most
nouular sport in North Carolina
Il was an interesting season
with three teams of the Big Four
edging out teams in the Top Ten OF
the Nation. With the possible ex-
ception of New York, no State
ranks better all across the back
boards than Tarheelia in basket
ball.
All cheers to Baptist Wake For
est, which downed Methodist Duke
and Catholics St. Johns and st
Bonaventure. Three saints in a row
were Just too maryland JOSEPH
reigned in the East. But it looked
as if in the Midwest there came {
king who knew not Joseph. Onl!

was revitalized after World

he says, developments in the

Mr.. Fischer is especially

Of the relations between Rus

says, have taken on the

its brand Of imperialism to
