ALL PARTIES SHOULD UNITE FOR FIRE
FIGHTING EQUIPMENT

H CRY FIRE strikes terror in the heart. For
fire can mean a horrible death or produce agonizing in
jury as well as loss of valuable property. Fire exempts
no one from it's flames. Fire shows no mercy. Fire will
attack and kill babies, the infrm-anyone. Fire is one
of natures greatest gifts yet is often one oflnanSs great
est hazards.
THE HAZARD Of fire has been known for centuries.
Man devised fire fighting methods in olden days. to
combat fire. That is how the bucket brigade began
the passing Of Waterbuckets from hand-to-hand and into
the blaze. That was before mechanical Sire fighting
equipment was invented.
THERE is mechanical fire fighting equipment on
ST. Croix. To be exact there are two fire trucks in Chris
itansted and one water truck. Of the two bumpers
one IS a 1893 model and the other is a l94l model. This
means there is one modern fire truck; for the other is %
years old and cannot by any stretch Of the Imagination
be termed modern. The water truck is also Of 1858
vintage and holds a mere $500 gallons Of wafer. When
water is pumped into a fire at 500 gallons a minute. this
truck is useful for exactly 8 minutes.
SINCE THE water truck is Of little use, then fire
MIGRANTS containing water are essential. There are fire
MIGRANTS in Christiansted. But there are none from the
High School until Frederiksted. This means fire in be-
tween this large area must depend upon old equipment
and a water truck which holds only 1900 gallons.
THE FIRE fighting equipment in Frederiksted is
also mechanical. Again, there are two fire bumpers /
is 1858 model. the other a 1899 model. This last fire
pumper then is "a years old and lie dependabiitY is
therefore doubtful" There is no wafer truck for
Frederiksted at all.
Such a situation is vitality dangerous. Christiansted
needs at least three modern fire bumpers and more mod

Dallas Officials
Say Evidence
Was Conclusive

DALLAS CUPID = Dallas po-
lice are absolutely sure they
had President Kennedy's assaS-
sin.
Il have sent men to the cleo
trio chair on less evidence than
we have now" said Dallas
County District Attorney Henry
Wade.
But Lee Harvey Oswald, "a,
maintained he was innocent. He
denied he shot Kennedy fatally,
wounded Gov. John B. Connal-
ly, and later killed policeman
j. D. Tippitt.
With absolute finality, any
chance Of getting at the truth
was wiped out Sunday when
Oswald was shot to death.
But what was the evidence
that police had making them SO
certain they had the right man?
The Dallas News reported in
a copyright article that it had
learned of the most damning
piece Of evidence Of all against
Oswald-a map found in his
room showing the path of the
bullets that killed Kennedy and
wounded Connally.
The News said this was the
"major evidence that police
held and would have become
Wade's exhibit A" if he had
gone to trial.
Before Wade called his news
conference, this much was
known:
-Paraffin tests for gunpow-
der on both hands were ''posi-
tive" indicating he had fired a
gun.
Photographs had been found
at his home showing Oswald
posing with a rifle in his hands
similar to the 6.5 Italian Car
cano weapon which killed Ken
nedy and with a pistol strapped
to his waist similar to the one
that killed Tippitt.
-Oswald's Russian wife said
he owned such a rifle. 1t was
missing. Oswald admitted own
ing the pistol.
The gun was purchased from
a Chicago sporting goods house.
1t was purchased under the
name "A. Hydell' but the order
was in Oswald's handwriting.
He was an expert marks
man while in the Marine Corps.
He was employed in the
building from which Kennedy
was shot.

sons widely recognized mas

could enhance chances for ap-
prevail Of a civil rights bill next
year.
These conclusions come from
talks with congressional lead
ers. Their preliminary judg-
ments are based on these
points:
johnson, although his Texas
background has exposed him to
criticism by proponents Of civil
rights legislation, was inStru-
mental in 1857 and 1860 in Sc
curing Senate approval Of two
civil rights bills-the only ones
enacted since the ReconStruc-
ton era.
AS vice president, johnson
faithfully administered the af-
fairs of the Presidents commit
tee on equal job opportunity
which fights discrimination on
projects under government con-
tract. He has spoken out extern
sively against discrimination.
johnson is expected to seek
election next year to a full

fore a nationwide television au-
dience.
While the m~artyred President
was being buried in Arlington
National Cemetery, mourned by
the world, the Communist-Ca Cas-
tro sympathizer accused Of STAY
ing him lay on a cold marble
slab in a morgue, disgraced.
He died with his lips sealed.
He took to the grave with him
the reason Kennedy was killed
if, as police are convinced with
out, doubt, he was the assassin.
The 24-year-old pro : Castro
MarxiSt was being transferred
in handouts from city Jail to
a maximum security cell at the
county Jail house when Jack
Ruby, a one-time Chicago street
brawler and owner Of a Dali
las striptease night club, leaped
from a crowd of newsmen and
policemen with a curse,
jammed a snub-nosed 38 cali
Der pistol into Oswald's side
fired one shot.
Could Do Nothing
"You son Of a BITCH" he
shouted. Oswald jerked back.
So did the police bodyguards
thanking him. But there was no
thing they could do to stop
Ruby.
Dallas policeman P. 7. Dean
said Ruby told him he shot OS-
wald out of concern for Mrs.
Kennedy. Dean said Ruby did
not want Mrs. Kennedy to "go
through the ordeal Of returning
to Dallas" and teStifying at Os-
wald's trial.
He said Ruby decided to lob
viate" the legal process by ex-
ecuting Oswald himself.
Oswald was quickly rushed to
Falkland Hospitals emergency
ward where President Kennedy
died Friday. At ! pm. q pm.
EST, 48 hours to the minute
from the official time of Ken
nedy's death, Oswald's heart
stopped beating. Open heart
massage failed. He was pro-
nounced dead at 1:07 pm.
Henry Wade, Dallas County
district attorney, filed murder
charges against Ruby and said
he would ask for the death pen
atty.
Seeks Death Penalty
"a second assassination does
MT help Justify the first one,"
he said. 81 will seek the death
penalty for Ruby even if ne
pleads guilty because shooting
a handcuffed man deserves the
death penalty"
Oswald died without speaking
a word. There was no chance
for a death-bed confession. He
had steadfastly maintained that
he had nothing to do with the
assassination Of Kennedy, the
wounding of Gov. John Connal-
ly, who was riding with Ken
nedy, and later the Staying Of

pitt.
Wade said, however, that
there was more than enough
evidence to send Oswald to the
electric chair.

 Couple of days ago I met a man and his son walking together on the ice. I know both of them. The boy was holding a shovel and I asked his father why he carries the sho- vel. He said he has net under the ice and he thinks he will want to shovel some snow around the place.

 The trophy flag Wainwright people were holding is still there.
 The Barrow mushers said to the Wainwright mushers that they should start one at a time each driv- CT by time, but their answer to Tux lee was no. They said the starting line will be marked and all mushers will start together by the signal.
 They said the mushers will bring the trophy flag to Barrow, but if they lose they will have to come home without it.
 This is the first race this month and will continue on both sides. Let us all hope the Barrow people gets it back.
 Next month in March after these mushers come back from races I will, or can, talk more about them how they do this last big racing.

 No matter how cold the weather still they hunt, facing the wind, sometimes come home empty hand ed several times. That doesn't stop them from hunting. Boys, when they come to 12 years of age are sure they could begin.

usually out of winter caribou leg skins into which the gloved hands could be encased. This type of hand protection against extreme cold was usually enough. In fact it was ade- quate and sufficient when hands were in active use or exercised dur ing cold weather.
 Having taken quite adequate pre- cautions against major frostbites the next serious nuisance the northern people had to contend with were minor frostbites. These were frost bites on the face, the cheeks, nose, and the ears.
 Detection
 In extremely cold weather very great precaution and alertness was, and is, required. Upon exposure to below zero temperatures the face gets progressively colder during the time one is exposed to it. Under these conditions frostbite on the face area will sneak up on one. He should, as often as possible, feel his face to detect any frozen areas
 A bare hand pulled out of mittens should be used and with which the affected area should be warmed and thawed by alternating the hands in order not to expose the hands at too long a period at time. This should be done by applying the palm of the hand without rub ping.
 Another way to detect the af- fected area was to lightly grimace the face and by crinkling the nose. If one can feel tightness in these areas something is wrong and one had better take his hands and pro- ceed to thaw out frozen areaes.
 Thawing out the frostbitten areas in this manner, especially if the area was bitten rather deeply, us- ually resulted in discoloration and peeling of the skin a couple of days later.
 Ancient Treatment
 The ancient ESkimoS had way of avoiding the unsightly after-ef- fects of frostbites on the face. There are some modern Eskimos who have known of this manner of preventing discoloration and peeling
 Upon detection of frostbitten area on the cheeks or nose Gears were relatively minor problems be- cause they were covered by the hood). the victim takes saliva out of
