OF THE
VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES
THANKSGIVING DAY IS 1862
% gtUe Thanks unto the Lord
for He is good: for His mercy
endtrer foreUer." Psalm 100

In his 1862 Thanksgiving Day Proclamation, the
President of the United States reminds us that:
the Pilgrims established the custom Of gathering
together each year to express their gratitude to God
for the preservation of their community and for the
harveSts their labors brought forth in the new land.
Joining with their neighbors, they shared together
and w~orShipped together in a common giving of
thanks. Thanksgiving Day has ever since been part
of the fabric which has united Americans with their
past, with each other and with the future of all man
kind"
It is fitting as we observe Thanksgiving Day this
year that we be duly grateful for the blessings Of food,
clothing, and shelter; for those acts which have preserv,
ed peace among nations; for preservation through anoth
er hurricane season; for the generous acts of our fellow
man to the homeless, hungry, and destitute; and in the
words of President Kennedy for the 'indestructible gifts
of hope and love"
NOW, THEREFORE. /, RALPH M. PAIEWON.
SKY, Governor of the Virgin Islands Of the United
States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November %,
1862, as Thanksgiving Day. On that day let us in our
homes and in our respective places Of worship give
thanks to Almighty God for the blessings which He has
bestowed upon us, let us praise Him for mercies SO
given, and let US pray for guidance in our
~strivings for peace, progress, and happiness for all man
kind.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, have hereunto set my
hand and caused the Seal Of the Government Of the Viz.
gin Islands to be affixed at Charlotte Amalie, ST. Tho.
mas, Virgin Islands, this 10Th day of November, ADr
1862.

THANKSGIVING DAY

THANKSGIVING DAY
EACH SUCCEEDING Thanksgiving Day finds more for
which to be thankful, especially in the free world. Men are
themselves surrounded with labor-saving devices, machines
of every sort, conveniences which but a few years ago we're
thought impossible, and generally an improved standard of
living.
WITHIN BUT twenty or so short years, radio, televSion,
refrigerators, and almost countless other items have found
themselves on the market, all contributing in some fashion
to greater enjoyment Of life. And another machine, the auto
mobile is undoubtedly the most significant. Today it is esti-
mated that in the United States there is one automobile for
every five persons.
ON THE NON-MATERIAL side, life expectancy has
been increased and the health, mental and physical condition
of the free world is vastly improved. Since World War II,
many peoples have gained their independence and under
developed areas are being given assistance and human suffer
ing is being Hghtened.
YET, E is the paradox that with all there is to be
grateful for man has found himself perfecting instruments
of destruction so fantastic that they paralyses even the imagi-
nation. The next war will most certainly be the end of civiiza-
ton for the nuclear weapons SO awful in its destructive power
that whole cities could be wiped out in minutes.
H NEED, THEREFORE, is for men to learn to live
together in peace and harmony, and the fact that there is still
the will to turn aside from sheer military might and look
above and beyond to that spiritual and divine guidance with
out which nothing good is accomplished is encouraging. Even
in Russia today, after years of the most deadly persecution
of the church, the leaders in the Kremln are relaxing a little,
after having discovered that regardless Of the measures passed,
the church was still playing an important role in the life OF
people behind the iron curtain.
H THANKSGIVING DAY it may be well to give a
moment or two to reviewing the many reasons for being
thankful, most important Of which is the right to worship as
the Individual pleases, and in that connection to cling to a
belief that there is a God, without being punished by the State

U. S. Exports
To Soviet Bloc
Dip in Quarter
By the Associated Press

United States exports to the
European Soviet dominated
bloc during the second quarter
Of 1862 totaled $10,836,394, the
Commerce Department an
nounced.
This compares with S13.3
million in the previous quarter
and $12.9 million for the sec
ond quarter Of 1861.
Although United States pol
icy provides for a total embargo
of all United States exports to
Communist China, the report
shows exports there Of S2,720

the year. The consignment con-

volve about 10 per cent which
includes the contractors profit.
The navy makes a practice
of withholding payment Of the
last S to 10 per cent until
final agreement is reached.
This has tended to hasten ne
gotiations.
The backlog Of unsettled
Navy contracts Of several large
Navy firms has been in the
half billion dollar area.
Large Sums Involved
Grammar Aircraft had been
in this area with nine con-
tracts awaiting settlement
Within the last few months
this had been reduced to
around 5000 million. OF this
amount about $21 million re-
mains in dispute.
Pratt & Whitney, a jet
engine company, is the largest
Navy contractor. 1t usually
heads the list for unsettled
contracts. In the last few
weeks its $500 million backlog
has been reduced by $3.50 mil

These figures vary daily
with the inflow of new con-
tract negotiations and settling
Of old contracts. The compli-
Gated negotiations result from
the fact that neither the Pen
tagon nor the contractor knows
in advance what our new wea-

are known before the contract
is signed. In most defense

viously stationed, viz, at TopaNa on

years. Current profits are estimated at
less than one-and-a-half cents on each
dollar of sales. Numbers of major
magazines have gone u of business.
The increased postal rates could well
mean the death sentence. One national
legislator has pointed out that the pro-
posed increase in Second-class mail
rates will deal a Gripping blow to the
magazine industry and place heavy eco
nomic burdens upon the already pinch
ed small city dailies, the rural press and
the farm journals.
What, then, is the solution to the DOS
tai deficit? On the practical side the
Digest points out, mail handling in this
country has hardly changed since the
beginning of the century, and the cost
of hand labor accounts for more than
a third of all the services spending.
Hundreds of millions could be saved
through modern matchmaking methods.
Other countries have done this with
outstanding results.
Also, says the Digest, Congressional
leaders estimate that $500 million of the
$3.50 million deficit &c. is represented
by charges which properly should be
borne by every taxpayer, not lust those
who use the mails extensively" In 9TH
er words. the post office provides manv
an essential and costly service of a non
postal nature.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
NEW LAW
MAY BE SERIOUS THREAT

Post office deficits can be compared
to influenza epldemicS they come along
every year. Past increases in rates have
done nothing to solve the problem, be-
cause they have been offset by increases
In wages and other operating costs. AS
OF the moment, the annual deficit is run
ming at the rate of some $3.50 million
annually.
AS a corrective measure, the house has
passed, and the Senate is now consider
ing, a bill which would bring in an adj
ditional 5000 million, and thus, on paper,
virtually eliminate the deficit. 1t looks
good, on the surface, but as informed tes-
timony is making clear, it seems to be a
potential source of problems worse than
those it is designed to cure.
The bill would increase the rates char
ged for first, second and third class
mail. And the effect it would have on
those users of these last two categories
IS producing some massive headaches
both In and out of Congress. For instan-
&c, under the second class provisions,
newspapers and magazines would pay a
~surcharge of one cent per piece. The
burden would fall heaviest on the small
er publications which can afford it
least. According to testimony given be-
fore the RESPONSIBLE Senate Commit
tee, the additional cost of mailing a
small. rural newspaper a few miles
would be precisely the same as trans
rortlng a 200-page edition of a New
York dailv clear across the continent.

regard this as . matter of urgent i'm
portance. and thew devoted a lengthy
feature to it in the ADriI issue. with

COTTON STILL IMPORTANT

In the season ending June 80, 1861,
cotton earned 1897 million for this
country in foreign exchange, according
to the National Cotton Councils chief
economist. 1t earned $3.50 million the
year before.

"trespass of a little worm on its green
Leaf IS more to England than the advance

Value of the U. S. cotton crop at the
farm level in 1860 amounted to almost
$2.4 billion. The 1890 cotton farms
IN Mississippi accounted for S2o4,o1o,-
