PRIVATE OPERATION OF POWER PLANT
IN H TRUE tradition of democracy, all public uti
ties, including electric power, should be under private control
IN THESE Islands, electrical energy, especially in ST.
Thomas, has been one of our great problems. The sharp in.
crease in the number of tourists, and the rise in hotels and
facilities have put a strain on output, and almost before added
facilities are complete, they are obsolete. This means that
in order to maintain a high level of production - enough to
meet all our needs = a power plant with enough reserve
power will have to be installed and maintained.
MAINTAINING this type Of plant should be the work
of private industry. Once a company is organized, and takes
over, then it will have the duty and responsibility of devoting
all its time, effort and knowledge to the operation OF its plant
Faced with the necessity to operate at a profit, and at the
same time give satisfactory service, this company will have
to put into effect all the modern methods and practices pos.
sible. 1t will also have to exercise economies in operation
which may not be possible with public ownership,
BUT OVER and above that, the Government should not
be in business. The formation and operation OF the Virgin
Islands Company, as it was inidally called, was a different
matter. When that corporation was formed these Islands were
in dire economic straits, and agriculture, especially in St CroN
was at its lowest ebb. Something had to be done, and VlCorp
was the answer. But electrical energy is a different matter
altogether.
THE CHANGES are that a company to operate the pow
er plant will be a local company. And that would be good
1t could sell stock, and no doubt many a local citizen would
be happy to be a stakeholder in such a corporation. OF course,
it would haveethe franchise as a public utility, to operate the
power plant, and provide electrical energy.
AS BETWEEN private ownership and government con
troll there is no question whatever but that private owner
ship and operation is by far the better.

BIG LURES - BIG FISH
The old saw about big lures
catch big fish is a common
enough expression around the
tackle counter. But how true
is it, particularly in today's
era Of tiny cheese bats for
trout and poppin' bugs for
bass?
The fishing folks nj Mercury
outboards put their heads to-
gether On the subject and cainc
up with some interesting OF
servations that Suggest this bit
of country wisdom might
have considerable merit.
First off, they admit, fish
are not prone to io.low, any
rule that might be devised. and
that a great many fian seem
TO go out of their way to &c
the exception. But, il was a.
greed, under given conditions
the largest fish would be taken
by larger types OF lures and
bats. They cited some exam
pies:
/. That in day-in day-out
fishing. a large minnow would
produce more fish than n small
Ter one. and it would attract
more of the braggin' size.
2. That the cold water species
such as lake trout and deep
running rainbows would re-
spond TO large spoons, streamer
flies and lures quicker than
their pygmy-sized cousins. In
this category. it was noted that

shiny keels and other odds of
flashing hardware preceding

TO inhance the delcctible quail

). The clinchcr. perhaps, came
in discussing the popularity OF
black lead-heads with pork rind
which are used so successfully
in taking lunlSer bass in the
great impoundments of the
middle west and the south. This
combination. working even dur
ing the dark of the moon. totals
up to eight or nine inches in

the ticket for the voracious

The reasons? Probably these,

Macarthur interrupted a Eu-
ropean holiday to supervise the
tedious digging up, moving and
replanting of four trees. 1--WE had
some worrisome moments with
huge cranes that lifted the trees
from land, to floating barges,
and back again to land" Mac
Arthur remarked. And on the
water, he explained, the trees
were like giant sails, catching
the wind; making it extremely
difficult to maneuver the barges
through the three raised draw
bridges.
The trees have been planted at
the gateway to the new Palm
Beach Gardens Shopping Center.
Garden clubs have signed proc
lamations commencing the man
who spends thousands of dollars
in his fight to preserve FlorIda's
revered banyan trees. Residents
nicknamed Macarthur "Banyan

gro leaders have been concerned
increasingly about the u. s. pol
icy in sub-Sahara Africa. They
have been expressing the in
creased feeling of Negro com
munitics on the problems of the
many emerging Independent AZ

still lacking independence. Con-
ference leaders stated that the
response has been overwhelm-
ing. Theodore f. Brown, Direc-
tor of the Conference said: "The
American Negro community has
a special responsibility TO urge
i dynamic policy on our own
country. If the United States
can't take vigorous action to help

Americans for the elimination

AS the authority in the

The people trusted the GUS

hated and distrusted the

This was a threat with
which Herod could come to

seemed to be to weaken the
priesthood and thus nullify
its authority.
