COT c PRESIDENT HAYES SAYS P0WER
COOPERATIVE FOR ALL CITIZENS

q To-day, in answer to recent criticism to the Power
Coop proposal, Alfred B. Hayes released the following
statement
Since the publication of the proposal to form a
power cooperative on 81. Croix there have been several
comments about it by officials that should be clarified.
The Governor is entirely correct when he states no
group should have a life and death grip on the islands.
This is one of the reasons a cooperative is being formed
so that the people of the island can own and control
the sources of their electricity. To think, however, that
a cooperative could abuse it's control Of the economy is
patiently absurd. Anyone who uses electricity on st.
Croix can have a say in how the power cooperative, is
operated, the rates it will charge and the way the profits
will be distributed. " At the same time no one off the
Island and unconcerned with local affairs can have any
vote in the matter. This is the very essance of a cooper
alive, It concerns only the people using the electricity,
anyone can use the power and become a member but
no one without a local interest can have any say in it.

know Him in my heart. l know
Him in person. And Jesus
Christ Himself has told me that
/ am His son; that | am saved
and that / belong to Him be-
cause He bought me at the
price Of His own sacrifice upon
the Cross. l have that blessed
assurance in my life that l am
a son Of God, not upon my mer-
its but upon the merit of Jesus
Christ, who in His perfection

with boldness stand before the
Throne Of God and say, 81 am
Your son, because / stand here

So, for me for 10 years since l
found God, my singing career
has been a way Of carrying His
word. Today Christ is the morn
ing star of my life. Each day is
a spiritual battlefield in which /
strive to glorify God. Yet vic
tory is always the Lords, for as
the Apostle Paul tells us: "My
strength is made glorious in
weakness. Most gladly therefore
will I glory in my infirmities,
that the power Of Christ may
rest upon me-"
1t is only through the myS-
terious person and presence Of
Jesus Christ that we are saved;
so it has to be a personal spiri-
tual encounter which nobody
can perform for US. When l
found my Lord and Saviour 1t
wasn't through a church or a
minister. 1t was because the
Lord put His hand upon me
Himself, He dealt with me di-
rectly, He worked His miracle
in my life. Thus, religion to me
is Jesus Christ as a reality and
a presence-not just a philoSo-
ply to live by. To me there is
one Lord Of life, and Jesus
Christ is His one and only Son.
To me any life philosophy that
leaves out the living Christ is
totally inadequate.
"To be a Christian, you have
to know Christ personally; to be
