Landmarks
Continued from page u

the adjoining Whim Greenhouse
Museum property, about a mile
from Frederiksted on the Center
line Road. However, there is hope
for renewal Of these leases in
2OO4!
The former owner Of this ma
chinery and equipment assuled
the Landmarks Society that her
father had put this British mill
into working condition himself,
when she was a girl. and that
she had personally seen it in
operation. However, over the
years the timbers, some Of great
size and weight, have been at
tackled by weather, rot, termites
md earthquakes, so that they will
have to be replaced with new
lumber. The old timbers will
serve as models for the restora-
ton Of the mill at Whim Estate.
This will involve much work and
Tine and much money, which
he Society expects to raise by
gift and contributions from Gov
nment Foundations, interested
MMNBs4-
people, its own members and the
general public.
The Society urges checks be
made payable to The st. Croix
Landmarks Society, Inc, Box 242
Christiansted, st. Croix, v. I.
The release continues: "OuI
children and tourist visitors may
see with their own eyes how sug-
ar was made in the year 1900
which is about the date that
Whim Greathouse and its planta.
ton was in its prime. It is hoped
that the windmill sails will turn
again in the Caribbean Trade
winds in the not too distant fu-
yture as a reminder of past great
ness under King Sugar.
Most of the furnishings of the
Greenhouse have been donated by
residents of st. Croix who gave
their heirlooms to make this res
toration authentic. Two Of the
beautiful chandeliers came from
a church in Frederiksted, while
other items are from as far away
as Denmark and England and the
Orient, which was typical of the
18th and early 10Th century
homes, One philanthropjc resi-
dent of st. Croix donated the
money for the roof, and another
a real, longtailed white planters
hat and his pipe. There are love
" dishes and glasses and graceful
decanters to be seen as one goes
back over one hundred and fifty
years to view how life was lived
around 1900 on st. Croix.

I'VE advocate an immediate ano
drastic reduction of governmental ex-
penditures by abolishing useless com
missions and offices, consolidating de-
partments and bureaus and eliminating
extravaganza, to accomplish q saving
of not less than Is per cent IN the COST
of the federal government.
"We favor maintenance of the ma
tionaI credit by a federal budget an
n,,aIIv balanced and a sound currency
to be preserved at all hazards.
I'VE stand for the removal OF
government from all fields OF private
enterprise, except where necessary to
develop public works and natural re-
sources in the common interest.
The foregoing, according to Human
Events, are a few passages from tne
Democratic platform Of 1882, now"

We're on vacation . !.
BY Allie Tardy

When this paper goes in
the mail on Monday for the
July IL edition, l hope we will
be on our way to what l con-
slider one of the paradises
On eart... If anyone wants to
spend a vacation that is
really a rest from everything
except pure enjoyment and
relaxation, Gulf Shores, Ala
bama fills the bill. Our Mis-
sissippi Coast is a fabulous
place and one that / love,
but Gulf Shores has it's very
own indescribable charm.
besides, Mississippi has to.
boost up Alabama now and
Alabama has to boost MiSSis-
sippi for who else will?)
We became acquainted with
Gulf Shores through Attala
County friends who enjoyed
vacations there, and had our
first visit last summer. It's
right on the very tip of Ala
bama, a stones throw from
Florida, and is located on a
peninsula, surrounded on
three sides by water. The
back-Water is marshy but all
around on two sides is the
beautiful blue Gulf of Mexi-
co. It's not a for real town,
although it boasts a drug
store, several grocery stores,
an amusement park, a dance
pavilion, numerous cafes and
souvenir stands, but all this
is uptown" away from the
sure enough beach. These are
the necessary things and not
the things that make this a
place of unique beauty.
Gulf Shores is primarily a
resort for fishermen and va
cationers who want to "get
away from it ALL" The rent
able adobes do not call them
selves Motels or Tourist
Courts. They are fishing
camps and they are wonder
full! All are built high on
stilts, due to high water dur
ing hurricanes, ETC., and all
are built along the same lines,
simplicity at it's best. And

its charity patients, but the remain
ing two-thirds amounted last year to
about $l,l4O,OOO.
This kind of burden on our hospitals
is of course intoIerabIe. They make up
part of the deficit in various ways :
by adding some of it onto the paying
patients bill, by paying hospital en-
pIoyees less, and by doing without
needed repairs, equipment, and per-
sonnet.
The one good solution to the pro-
bIem is for the State Of Mississippi
to reimburse the community hospitals
in full for all its charity patients
care. IF the burden is shared by every
body, then the hospitals can continue
to serve US all.
