MARKED TURTLE
FOUND 7 TIMES
DURING 81 YEARS

Villas, N. c. (AP)-
Don j. Horizons friends Of
81 years. terrapin or land
turtle = has shown up
again.
He first found the ter
rapin on his farm on June
80. 1911, and carved his
initials Duh" and the
date "6/11" on the shell.
Six times since then the
turtle has shown up again,
never more than two miles
from the Horton farm.
The last time was June
80. 81 years to the day
when he first was found,
and again on the Horton
farm. The other times were
in 1918. 1922, 1928, 1885
and 1859.
Mr.. Horton says Of the
latest find: HE (the turtle)
was not an ounce bigger,
that I could tell. than when
I first saw him 81 years
ago. I am 73 and showing
my age, but he doesn't look
any older than he did in
l911-hasn't changed in
color. scars or any way
other than the hayrake
marks. I believe he must be
around 100 years old"
When found the last
time, the terrapin's shell
had marks that looked as
though they had been made
by o hayrake that passed
over 1t.
The terrapin Is only q
little bigger than a mans
hand.

diet Is q waste Of time and
money. They may help you
take off q few pounds, but
they are an unnatural way
to the curt Of the obesity
problem. Nature gave us
teeth to eat with: not Just
to filter concoctionS gulped
down with the hope of
quickly becoming slender. In
my experience most people
don't stay on these diets
more than q few weeks or
months. After that, what?
A return to the regular diet
and a gain In weight which
usually exceeds the original
poundage.
If people would stop to
think there would be more
nonconformists around. And
that would be a lot better
then having the countryside
populated by good citizens
who follow every new move
ment that comes along like
sheep.

It is because of the foregoing that
I address myself to you today in
the full knowledge that you will
correct promptly a barefaced LIE
that you forced upon your listen
ers during this mornings vituper-
alton better known as Earle Ott-
ley'S Journal.
During the course of your pro-
gram you informed your listeners
that the Democratic Party Conven-
ton held in st. Croix at the Buc-
cancer Hotel got the campaign off
on the wrong foot by offering two
kinds of dinner accommodations.
One costing $500 a plate and the
other at $500. The $500 patrons
were seated in the main dining
room and the other patrons were
seated outside.
For your information, Mr.. Ott-
ley, and for that of your listeners
and readers I would like you Tin
deed I dare you to state in your
publications and on your program,
THE TRUTH. The fact is my dear
Sir that the patrons seated in the
main dining-room happen to have
been the guests of the Party and
the officials and delegates and al
ternates of the Democratic Party,
duly elected and representing Viz.
gin Islands Democrats. They did
not pay $500 a plate as you bare
facedly lied! They were here from
st. Thomas, st. John and st. Croix
as the non-paying guests of the
ST. Croix Democrats. Il am attach
ing a list of their names for your
perusal). AL ne guests who filled
the Buccaneer dining terrace to
overflowing paid $500 a plate Tor
their dinners.

ic Convention agree it was the
finest political convention held in
the history of these islands. 1t is
indeed surprising that you failed
to tell your readers and listeners
that no less a person that the very
astute politician, The Hon ]. Ray
mond Jones, strongman of Harlem
politics and recognized Democratic
leader on the national scene was
so moved by the quality of our
Democratic Convention that with
tears in his eyes he discarded his
prepared speech to praise the de-
mocracy in action he had witness
ed that night, and termed the
Democratic Platform, "magnifi-
cent"
As for your recent lie, also
spouted on your early morning
broadcast, regarding the nurses in
st. Croix, we will also nswer in
due time. In the meantime I would
like to suggest that instead of
locking yourself in a dark room
and in~venting your early morning
propaganda, you take time out to
answer the challenge hurled at
..Ha%
you by our National Committee

your convenience and discuss the
issues with him on WBNB-TV.
