Th:
“'Editor St.
Croixz Avis.”’
Sir:—
Paragraph
24 of ihe rules
of
busi-
ness
of
the
Colonial
Council
provides
that ‘‘the assistant
<hall under
the
direc-
tion of the chairman
frame
a
draft
of
a
report
of the
most
essential
part
of the
proceedings
in the
council
and
of
their
result,
which
draft after
being
revised
by
the
chairman
and
the
secretarics,
shall
be
published
in
print.””
Do
you
mean
to tell me that the
pravers
offered
by the chaplain of the council is an
esse -
tial part of the proceedings,
even
to the
very ‘‘Our Faiher”?
Is it
any
part
of
the proceedidgs
at all in faet?
No
won-
der it takes
weeks
to publish
these
pro-
ceedings’’
and
the
members
have
not
seen
them
when
asked
to “‘tacitly’’adopt
them.
Member Alexander
poscibly
had
in mind
the cutting
out of the supertiuous
when
he agitated
to have all
the
papers
supplied
with
a
copy
of
the '‘proceed-
ings’’.
When
are
we ever
guing
to
get
down
to business
in this place?
Yours for
COMMON
SENSE,
As the editor of the Avis simply
has
to
print what
is sent
in for punlication,
we
eannot
undertake
to give our correspond-
ent
any advice
in this matter.
Ed 8t Croix Avis,

Dear
Mr. Editor:
In view of the
faet
that
several
per-
sons
are of the impression
that
the black
d g referred
to in the Avis of yesterdav's
date by
*"Poor Light Sleeper’”
and
in tha
Tribune
of
today
under
“‘Splinters’’, I
wish
to shatier
the idea
that
this
dog s
my esteemed
bound
which
ils
safely
shut
in
every
night
before
10
o’'clock.
In-
vestigution
shows
the
disturbing
dog,
and
enemy
of “‘poor light sleeper’
to be
a habitant
of the
barracks.
Yours truly
H. BERG.
Danes
appear
to
misunderstand
the
term poor used
by "‘Poor Light Sleeper’’,
and it is
advised
that
the
term
means
“‘stakkels’” and
not netessarily
"‘fattig’’.

My Dear
Mr. and Mrs. Bastian:
In your sorrow
over
the loss
of
your
daughter
Miss lone Bastian
it
will
per-
haps
be
ot
some
comfort to you
to
know
in what
high
esteem
she
was
held
by
those
of
us
who have
seen
her work.
I can
assure
you from
personal
obser-
vation that her sudden
death
has
deeplv
touched
not
only
her
intimate
{riends
but also
thuse
who
knew
her
less
int-
mateiy.
That
her
services
were
appreciated
is
probably already
known
to
you
but
be-
cause
such
appreciation
wiil
mean
much
to
you
I
am
ansxious
that
you
stould
know from
me
that
we
considered
your
daughter
as
one of our most
reliable
und
best
qualifiled
Graduate
nurses.
She
went
about
her
tasks
cheerfully
and
quietly with
no
effort
toward
display
but always accomplishing
in
a
satisfac-
tory manner
whatzaver
she
set
out
to
do.
Hers is a record
of which
you
may
well
be
proud.
My
own
sympathy
and
that
of
the
Medical Service
1s extended
to you.
Very truly yours,
(Sed.)
