EDITORIAL
MEETING TOURIST DEMANDS 7a.7f
THESE LAN could well take a lesson from Puerto
Rlcos recent experience in meeting the need for tourist accom-.
modations. It seems that during last month, the busiest of the
season, a number of tourists arrived to find that reservations
could not be filled. The situation became serious enough to
warrant action by the Government.
WITH CUB OUT of the tourist picture, Puerto Rico,
with its marvellous climate, beautiful scenery and easy reach
from New York, has become one of the major tourist attrac.
tons in the Caribbean. 1t is easy to see, therefore, what could
take place if tourists continue to find themselves out in the
cold, with no place to stay, especially after reservations had
been made.
H DIFFICULTY is twofoId. Local hotels, in an ef
fort to reduce the number of cancellations, would set up
full reservations. A number Of these would drop out at the
last moment without notifying the hotels, thus leaving a siz
able number of rooms unoccupied. This can represent a sub
stantial loss to a hotel in the height Of the season. Then, too.
anmnber of agencies on the mainland might have booked re-
servahons without first clearing with the hotels in ques-
ton.
ANYWAY, BOTH the Government of Puerto Rico and
the tourist groups have taken a good look at the situation, and
come up with suggestions for correcting the matter.
ToURISM IS one of the greatest sources of income,
and no island so situated can afford to treat such a problem
lightly.
RIGHT NEXT door to Puerto Rico, also with tourism
as a major source of income, these islands need not wait until
it finds itself in such a situation. 1t can study the matter now,
and be ready to stave off any such problem. One Of the way
of getting around this whole situation is to make sure that we
have an adequate number of rooms in the middle-income
brackets. Another way is to check and cross-check reservations
so that no tourist is ever caught without a room when he ar
rives.

SNOWFALL Centerpiece
For Winter Birthday

How about a different center
piece for your birthday youngsters
party table-one that's especially
appropriate for a winter-month OBJ
servance.
It's a giant SNOWFALL, made
from hardware cloth and tissues.
Have the man at the hardware
store cut cloth up to three-feet
square. When you get it home,
form the square into the shape of
a ball, leaving a 12-inch opening
across the top. Be sure to tape the
raw edges with masking or friction
tape so it doesn't scratch.
Next, fill in the open squares Of
the hardware cloth with white
Kleenex tissues. Just pick up each
tissue in the middle as you would
a pocket handkerchief and insert
them into the squares thckly
enough so they keep each other in
place.
If you'd like to personalize your
SNOWFALL, spell out the youngsters
name on one side, using a differ
ent-colored tissue-flare red, pink,
yellow or aqua.
When the SNOWFALL is completely
covered, place either birthday gifts
for the youngster or treats or fav-
ors for the party guests inside.
Its a unique "grab-bag."

mendous opportunities are opening
up for Negroes in business, as well
as the professions, but they must
equip themselves to qualify for
them AS a youth my most
serious problem was getting a job
to enable me to get an education,
and the only opportunities were in
mental jobs, Municipal Court
Judge Thomas L. Griffith, Jr.,
said last week.

through school as janitor and a
car washer, is the first Negro to
be elected a presiding judge in this
county.
He has been chosen to succeed
Judge Gerald c. Kepple as head of
the Los Angeles Municipal Court
this year.
A quiet man, Griffith likes to
work with his power tools, building
things for his home, to relax the
tensions built up deciding other
peoples problems.
He also makes a hobby Of photo
graphy and enjoys taking movies
of his wife, Portia, and three chill
dren.
Il realize that everyone will be
watching my actions, and feel
that I must do my best, not only
for my own sake but the sake of
others of my race" he said.
Racial barriers are breaking
down, but NegroeStstill must show
by a preponderance' Of evidence
that they are not only able and
trustworthy but that they can get
along with other people"
There is no reason today for
iliteracy or a lack Of education
and the Negro youth should be
encouraged to equip themselves tc
qualify for the positions their abil-
ity best suits them to handle"
