ADDED FACILITIES

CARIBAIR DESERVES a word Of commentator for
such a service, and Caribair, realizing the situation, has taken
the proper step.
GEOGRAPHY HAS always played an important part IN
our politics in these Islands. Separated by water, distance was
a lettering factor until the arplane became the principal
means Of communication. Ordinarily, a 4O-mile trip would
pose no problem by land. Motorists would simply get in their
cars and be on their way. But the Caribbean makes a dit
ference, and unless there are adequate facilities, citizens
could be greatly inconvenience
THERE IS appreciation for the fact that stationing an air
plane in St. Crox at all times is an added expense, but is COM
pensated for by the added use Of equipment. The traveller,
aware that he has an opportunity to fly out will most certainly
take advantage of this opportunity. It is likely, therefore, that
this extra plane will be in rather frequent use, and often at
capacity.
CRITICISM had been heard that this airline, receiving
revenues from passenger service to and from these Islands had
not followed a policy Of utilizing local personnel That re-
mains to be clarified, but there is confidence here that these
officials, sound, hardheaded businessmen will follow
throuoh and put into fullest use the available personnel
ON H OTHER hand, those who would travel have
the duty and responsibility of trying to meet the simple re-
quirement Of either putting in an appearance, or noufyng the
airline of their intention to use its facilities. Cooperation N
this regard, we are sure, will be to the mutual benefit OF the
airline and the passenger.
THE PLACING Of this extra plane here is a sound move.
and one which will prove as advantageous as it is popular in
time.

it necessary to confess that
MY Fair Lady" outlaSted him.
This is the way the mind was
going last night at the National
theater where the Lerner-
Loewe musical turned up
again. It was flattering, self
flattering to be candid, to find
oneself staying in there and
enjoying it that much again.
And surprising, like hanging
on in a long deuce set in ten
mis-, say 9S-9S.
There has to be an explana-
ton for this now six-year-oid
game between my Fair Lady"
and audiences to see which win
tire first. Individual performers
give up, but not the show or
audience. There have been so
many Eliza Doolittles and
Henry Higginses since Julie
Andrews and Rex Harrison.

removed only Press Agent

Caroline Dixon and Donald

to all who have played its null

ion." No one had ever specu-
lated more wittily, nor wickedly
in an elegant way, that the
difference between q gutter
snipe flower girl and q duchess

To prove It. he created Eliza
Doolittle and Prof. Henry Hig-

they had convinced two gener-
ations of theatergoers that ev-
erything Shaw said was howl

Sheriff James T. Clark said
the trouble started Saturday

in it at Burkeville. The driver
of the sailors car was Wayne
Gibson. of Cloverdale. who is
stationed on an aircraft carrier
at Norfolk. The accused chased
Gibson from Burkeville to
Farmville. just outside of
Burkeville they passed Gibson
when he stopped for a stop
sign. They stopped their car a
little further down the road and
threw objects at Gibsons car
when he tried to pass.
The Negroes gave up the
chase at the outskirts of Farm
vile and returned tow a rd
Burkeville. They stopped their
car again and threw objects at
another car coming west on
Route 46O, near Sandy River.

Unofficial reports in the coun-

A group of citizens of Pow

stock corporation to build a

William E. Maxey said this
week. Plans for the Huguenot
Holding Corporation have been
on paper for several months,
but reports of transfer applica-
tons have speeded up action in
the organization of the holding
company, which was granted a
charter on May % by the State
Corporation Commission.
MaXey said the intention of
the holding corporation is to
build a school for the white
pupils in the county and lease
this building to the Huguenot
Academy, Inc, which is cur
rently operating a private school
for white children of the county
Huguenot Academy began
with the first grade in 1859 and
has since added a grade a year.
The Academy expanded into a
renovated cinderblock building
last year to accommodate the
growing classes.
The holding corporation plans
to start a campaign immediate
