EDITORIAL
OUR COLLEGE AND AGRICULTURE

~ AAA 83AN0
WE NOTE that the College Of the Virgin Islands
will be giving courses in many subjects, all OF them
essential. However, as Of this point, little has been said
about agriculture.
BYTTS very nature, this College will have to step
in and perform some of the functions which many full
Aedged universities do. But that is what is required,
and that is what it will have to face. Agriculture being
one Of our most important undertaking requires more
attention in the formal sense. While it is true that full
course may not be given from the outset, yet some sort
Of training program seems necessary and advisable.
AS THE center Of all educational activities, the
College might give seminars for farmers, institute a
training program on the high school level, lead the way
in research, and provide generally the type OF back
ground and atmosphere which will lend status and dig
nifty to agriculture.
IN THE United States, and particularly in the
west, each State has its agricultural college, often a part
Of the university system. From this vantage point the
State is in a position to direct its work, performing alu-
able services to its rural areas.
OUR COLLEGE, working in close cooperation with
the experiment station, and the Department OF Labor
and Agriculture, could mold a program OF agriculture
so suited to these Islands that the entire picture can
change. New varieties, new and better breeds, new APP
breaches to production on the whole, are but q few OF
the advantages to be had through such a program.
GREATEST Of all, a program undertaken BY
the College could give new life and vigor to agriculture
in these parts. Taken out of the hit-and-nniss, and given
place in education, this subject can win respect and
admiration as it emlerges as one Of mans most import
ant occupations. And we know Of no place more fitted
ID give it this impetus than the College.

The Pascagoula chapter of
Women for Constitutional Gov

S. B. McIlwain on Friday. The
meeting was opened with a read
ing from the Bible by Mrs. Quinn
Gautier and prayer by Mrs. x.
l.. Walker.
The following Scripture was
adopted to be used in the invoca-
ton at all future meetings: IF
my people, which are called by
my name, shall humble them
selves, and pray. and seek my
face, and turn from their wicked
ways; then will / hear from
Heaven. and will forgive their
sins, and will heal their land. "
tII Chronicles, 7th Chapter, 14th
Verse;.
Mrs. John Gautier reviewed
invisible Government, by Dan
Smoot. Mrs. Gautier pointed out
the urgent need for every citi-
zen to study and inform himself
of world situations as they arise,
both at home and abroad.
''Only by studying and pray
ing and standing up for the con-
stitutional rights Of all our peo-
pie can we further the goal of a
free, self reliant, strong and a
prosperous America.
"Our cause is to fight for the
ultimate defeat of communism
and to this end we pledge our
energies, our talents and our
time" she said.
She quoted from Smoot's book,
''Where will you find a plain
John Doe WHO is not favorably
impressed that the hospitals and
colleges in his community have
received a multi million dollar
gift from a big foundation? Every
significant movement to destroy
the American way of life has
been directed and financed, in
whole or in part, by tax exempt
organizations, which are en-
trenched in public opinion as
benefactors of society"
The book referred to the fol-
lowing passage from the Off
cial program OF the 1886 Com
muniSt International.
g. Dictatorship can be
established only by a victory of
socialism in different countries or
groups of countries, which the
proletariat republics would unite
on federal lines with those al
ready in existence, and this sys-
tenn of federal unions would ex-
pand. at length forming the
world union of Socialist Soviet
Republics

might eliminate the armed con-
flict between nations) which we
now call war; but it would cause
an endless series of bloody up
riSings and bloody suppressions,
and would cause more human
misery than total war itself"

Reception Reduces
Size OF Wedding Bill
MISSISSIPPI

DEAR ABBY: I'd Like to blow
off little steam about the rldl-
culous practice of businesses that
give kiddies candy suckers when
they come in with their mothers.
I find myself avoiding the places
where this is done. / don't know
of one mother who approves of
it. If she refuses to let the child
accept the sucker, she is
mean. If she accepts it, she is
building her o1ild's dental bill
and spelling the child's appetite
for the next meal. Doctors, be-
lieve it or not, are among the
worse offenders. Banks, grocery
stores and shoe stores run a
close second.
