, : It is a good act, well-paced
and worth waiting for even on
a night when the chill at Car
ter Barron puts a little extra
zip into Mary's constant jigging
and twitching.
Odetta's voice seems to be
lighter and harder and higher
than it was when she first
burst into the recording field a
few seasons ago, and in this
appearance only Shenandoah"
had any gentleness about it.
Her instrumental background
was full Of drive, especially on
spirituals, recalling to any pa
rishioner old enough to remem-
Der the work of Sister Rosetta
Tharpe, back in the days when
this kind of music wasn't near
ly so popular.
Entertaining as 1t is in itself,
and however artfully paced,
this kind of presentation has a
flaw peculiar to the age. An
essentially intimate art is
brought on surrounded by vast
ness, of stage, Of locale, of au-
dience. All out-of- doors looks
darkly in on a recording studio,
and the din is awesome.
Peter Nero and his associates
provided a change Of pace be-
tween the folkniks. He has
survived conservatory training
to became an excellent cock
tail-lounge pianist with superb
showmanship, and he walks
easily through the unrelated
fields of jazz, pretentious pop
ular music, and the kind OF
classical quotations both Eddy
Duchin and Liberace have dotec
on. But he swings, earnestly
and we'll.
His associates swing, also
and the group is visiually at
tractive. A constantly mugging
drummer with a matinee idols
profile DISCUSSES fine technique
with mannerisms, and a bass
player hobs away behind about
two yards Of arrangement
strung out over two music
stands; it is a sight to see, and
a joy to hear.

someone suggested it to me. I
talked it over with a lot Of Of

CASTING A PROBLEM:
While the script has been Mr..
Cowan's major preoccupation
for almost a year and a half,
he has been giving a great deal
of thought to casting. He is
quite at home, now, among Rus
sian film makers, technicians,
actors, stars, directors, etc. He
has some concrete ideas about
the Russians he would like to
use in the film.
So, he has discovered, do the
Russians about the Americans
they might like to see in Meet
ing at a Far Meridian" "They
are like fans anywhere in this
respect" he says. They have
not seen a great many American
films, but they have developed
enthusiams for certain per-
formers. Gregory Peck is a
great favorite, the result Of
being shown in that ingratiat-
ing role in Roman Holiday
"They also are full of admira-
ton for Henry Fonda whom
they saw in War and Peace"
And how do American actors
feel about playing the hero role
of the United States scientist,
the one who falls in love with
the Russian girl while they are
engaged in a Joint project hav-
ing to do with cosmic energy?
You'd be surprised at how
many are interested, but I'd
rather not go into names right
now" Mr.. Cowan says.
He expects to finish the film
in time for release by the end
of 1864, by which time he will
have taught the complete course

Sugar cane makes a significant contribution to the local eco
nonY. Over the five years 1882, income OF the Virgin
Islands Corporation from the sale Of sugar and molasses has
averaged about $1.4gmillion annually. Expenditures by the
Corporation in producing sugar cane and sugar, aside from
overhead charges, have been about as large.1Those expend1-
lures are incurred in purchasing sugar cane from private
growers lover the past five years 40 percent of the cane
produced has been grown by private growers and 90 per
cent by the Corporationl employing labor, and in purchas-
ing wide variety Of supplies and services. In 1862 Vieorp
purchased sugar cane from 1876 private growers. Many OF
these were very small growers and only 26 were full-time
farmers, Nevertheless, 80 growers received over 5000 gross
cash income from their sugar cane enterprise. This is sig
nifcant in an Island in which over one-thirdof the families
had incomes metz Of less than $500 in 1855. Sugar cane
continues to provide the major income for a few growers,
a supplementary income for a number Of other growers,
and its production helps support the business economy Of
the Islands generally.
Possibility of reducing cocts Of the present SUGAR economy.
There are reasonable prospects of reducing the present
OUTLAWS incurred by the insular government to cover losses
realized in the. sugar operations of the Virgin Islands Cor
water in some years-the5 principal difficulty facing sugar
poration. Nothing can be done to alleviate the shortage of
cane production-but there are other distinct possibilities.
for reducing presentlosses:
(a) Moderate increase in volume. - There is evidence that
50O-60O additional acres could be planted to sugar cane
were there assurances of a continuing industry for
the next several years. This would represent an in
crease of about 1B in the acreage of sugar, cane and
enable the spreading Of overhead on a larger volume
with a consequent reduction in operating losses.
() Further mechanization. Several reports have pointed
to the need for improving assembly methods and equip
ment and further mechanizng operations. A major
factor in this category would be the introduction of
Mechanical harvesting and field loading equipment. It
is strongly recommended that if the sugar industry is
continued at least one mechanical cutter be purchased
for use by the Corporation. Successful use of such
equipment would sharply reduce the need for alien
labor Ia machine costing about $4,000 cuts about as
much sugar cane in a day as do 1920 men) and it would
enable reductions in Lifetime in the sugar mill which
is now usually high. Such equipment also would pave
theAways for highers-wage rates in the sugar industry
inasrnuch as the persons employed to operate the equip
ment would be individuals with higher skills Of ern-
ployed in higher wage brackets.

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
By Dr.. Peter J. Steinerohn

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
hear q lot about gout but
win you please explain Just
what 1t is? What causes It?
What medicines are good for
1t? Just what do they do?
Thank you.-Mr. Y.
I WOULD EXPECT to get
this note from q man be-
cause gout is more common
In men than In women. Gout
is what we call q metabolic
disease. There Is some upset
In the metabolism Of uric
acid" 1t begins to collect in
abnormal amounts and
soon affects the joints. We
don't really know what causes
it, any more than we know
why some people get diabetes.
II you have been having
attacks Of pain and redness
and swelling-especially In
the same Joint (and 1t doesn't
always have to be the large
toe) always think Of the pos
sibility Of gouty arthritis.
Don't Just put 1t into the
large wastebasket Of "rheu-
matism" and fill UP with
aspirin and wonder why you
don't get any better. Go to
your physician. He will take q
blood uric acid test. II 1t is
over six he will take X-rays
and make other tests to rule
out gout.
Now, II gout is present, the
question Of diet always comes
up. In my experience. diet
ing hasn't helped much to
control the condition. But I
have found that patients
often feel better II they cut
down on fats In the diet
when they are overweight.
AS for the medicines, they
act by affecting the renal
tubules." This increases the
output Of uric acid in the
urine and lessons the stores
Of urates in the system. thus
causing improvement.
The good old standby in
treatment is the drug called
colchicine. It is not only
good when given during the
attack Zone pill about every
hour until diarrhea comes,
at which time the swelling
and pain in the joint lessen
markedly, but 1t Is also ef-
fective in lessening the fire.
quency Of attacks II the pa
tient takes anywhere from
one to three tablets every
day for months. Your doctor
will determine the correct
dosage. Another medicine
that is effective when taken
between attacks is Benemid.
There are many others on
the market which are effec-
tive when used as indicated.
I keep streSsing that the
important thing in gout is
making an early and correct
diagnosis. We can do much to
make gout patients comfort
able early. But they must
give the doctor the opportu-
nifty to make the diagnosis
instead Of treating them
selves for rheumatism"
For Mr.. l.: Remember the
days when they used to roll
the drowning victim over q
barrel? The suggested treat
ment is much simpler now.

JIM BISHOP

Long ago, I looked at q
lacy valentine and wondered,
not who sent it, but who is
st. Valentine. Was he roman
tic? Did he foster love af-
fairs? Did he send. In Sc
crecy, a missive to his hearts
desire? The answer, I found,
was no, no and no.
HE WAS A PRIEST in
Rome in the year AID. 270.
Some believe that he was a
bishop in Terni, although
they may be speaking Of the
same man. In any case,
Valentine was concerned with
the persecution of Christians
in Rome, and apparently hid
many Of them. Somewhere
along the line, he must have
hidden an informer. because
in q short time he was arrest
ed by legionaries.
Valentine must have been
important. because he was
taken to the presence Of
Emperor Claudius II. The
Emperor despised Christians
and offered Valentine his life
and freedom II he would re-
nounce his faith. Valentine
declined.
The priests faith was
beyond price. Claudius gave
the order: BEAT this man
with clubs inside the city,
and then behead him." The
order was executed on Febru-
airy IA, 27O. Many years later
Valentine was declared to be
a saint.
At this time Of year, the
boys Of Rome drew the
names Of their secret loves
on tablets and offered them
to the goddess Februata
Juno. This was supposed to
reduce the resistance Of the
female hearts-especially II
the ladies had an opportunity
to visit the shrine Of the god
dess and decipher the mys-
terry of which boy had en-
graved whose name.
Other priests had noticed
that, on or about February
IA, the birds of Rome selected
their mates. Prior to that
time, the fledglings flew
about, making excited cries.
But in mid-February. they
began to fly in twos, and to
build permanent nests
throughout the great city.
So, while some were an
noyed with a pagan practice,
Others felt that II this was
the season for birds to be-
come serious, 1t might be a
good thing for fledgling hu-
mans TO stop twittering and
flying about. and make a
permanent selection. These
holy men fostered the prac-
tice Of encouraging young
men to send a note Of love,
or leave q secret note on a
church billboard with q fe-
males name on 1t.
Hundreds Of years after
Valentines death, when the
custom OF the timid was still
practiced on February IA,
people began to refer TO the
love letters as st. Valentines
cards. The earliest record OF
a st. Valentines Day card is
not from an impatient young
man 10 his secret love. but
rather from the mother OF a
young lady who felt that a
certain young man needed a
push-in daughters direc-
ton.
II started In February,
i477. when Elizabeth Drew
had q marriageable daughter
who wanted no one but John

British Roar Over
 ShOeshine Incident

LONDON R - The sight of British corporal polishing a Rus sian generals boots had the British writhing today.
 It happened in West Germany when group of Soviet brass visit ed the British Rhine army. A pie ture of the shoeshine hit British front pages this morning and the headlines were far from shining.
 'This is military protocol gone mad" roared the Daily Sketch.
 Europe" it added, lis rocking with it's biggest laugh since Mir. MacMillan stopped Princess Mar garet from going to Paris"
 A similar beef came from Mrs. Arthur Bradley, wife of the cor poral who shined the shoes.
 "I'm furious" she said.
 Arthur is not the bootlicking type.
 This is an insult not only to my husband but to the entire Brit ish army"
 Mrs. Bradley said Arthur, "A, a member of the Royal Horse Guards, stand 6 foot 3 and weighs PA pounds.
 Its a safe bet he was grinding his teeth as he squatted down at the Russians feet" she said.
 The man who got the shoeshine was It. Gen. I. I. Psygyo, com mander of the Soviet air force in the East zone.
 The War Office said Psygyo
