FRANK MAYO is
the
star of
this picture,
which
tells
of the lumber
camps
and
shows
a thrilling forrest
fire.
[t
coneerns
a daring
young
man
who has
made
it his
business
o clear
the woods and
ths villages of the bullies
who infest
the region.
There
is
one
scene
where
he
rides
in
4
canoe
through dangerous
rapids
that
is sure
to thrill you,
True,
We have
nn ‘‘rapids’’ here
in
St.
Croix
on which
you
might try to ride
in
a
canoe,
But the “‘bullies’” are
s» plentyful here
that
it might
be
very profitable for you
to learn
how
to treat
them
in such
a
manoer
that they won’t come
back,
therefore
or
der
your ticket for this performance
in good time,
as itis something
you
can’t
afford
to miss.
‘
The settings
are
beautiful
throughout
and the picture
is
a splendid
outdoor
story,
vivid and compelling in its arction.
Mayo
is very
forceful
in his acting and
is
capably
supported
by Kathryn
Adams
who plays
the role of the heroine
in the
story,

“hristiansted
Town
(Canegata;
..
Mr.
Chairman
and
Honorable
Memu.
" el it my duty
to my constituency
and
w my home
town
to oppose
with
every
means
at
my dis-
posal
this present
Resolution
before
us.
I
regret
that
I
was
unfortunately
unable
to be
present
at the last
meeting
when
this matter
was first discussed,
but
from
the published proceedings
I noticed
that
the Honorable
Chairman
of
the
Munici-
pal Committee
said
in
his
speech
that he
understood
.that
there
was
some
opposi-
tion
to this project.
[ presume
he
must
have had
my statementi
1o
the Committee
in his mind.
I
said,
and
I repeat
here,
that I believe
fully that
there
could
be
nsthing
more distasteful
to the
people of
Christiansted
than
the utilization
of that
site for such
a purpose
at
this time;
and
no
time
could
be
more
inovpotrune
for
the
establishment
of such
an
institution
on Protestant
Cay.
The opening of Christiansted
harbor
is
something
which the people
of this
town
have
looked forward
to with anxious
and
eager
expectation,
and
now when
there
is
some
realization
of
their hope
I do
not
think that
this Council
should
place
one
jot
that
would
appear
to be
an
obsta-
cle in its way.
1 see,
however,
that
one
of the chief objectivns
is
to
be
elimina-
ted by
a provisional paragraph
which
we
are
asked
to
vote
with
this
Resolution.
Befere
going further
I wish
to
preface
my remarks
with these
words:
Although
I
know
that
the
remarks
to
any
ordi
nance,
resolution,sor
money
bill are
not
binding, yet, I believe this Government
to
be sincere,
and I have every confidence
in
the
fulfillment of their
intentions,
but
from
my experience
in this Council, [ do
not believe
in provisional pavagraphs,
it
always reminds
me
of the man who tries
to pat
the other
fellow on
the back
in his
efforts to keep him quiet while he glides
quickly
by and accomplishes
his
objeet.
Provisional
pawagraphs
like
these,
in
my experience,
have
been
the
the
bane
of
all similar ordinances
in this
Council.
Just
to
quote
one example:
This
island
could have eujoyed,
and perhaps,
would
still
be enjoving
the
benefit
of
a
Food
Commission,
if it
had
not
been
for
a
provisional
paragraph
like
this,
-which
deprived
the
Food
Commission
of
itg
power
just
as
soon
as
it
had
been
granted.
I read
in the
remarks
of
this
Resolu-
tion that
in the future
event of activities
in
reconstructing
Christiansted
harbor
the proposed
institution
could,
and would
be,
removed;
I believe
that,
but those of
us who have been
members
of this Coun-
cil
have
sufficient
example
to
make
us
extremely
cautious.
When
the
hurricane destroyed
Peter’s
Farm
Hospital in 1916.
the hospital
was
temporarily
located
in this
town at
the
site.
which
was
promised
to
the people
for
a Town
Hall; it could
and
would
be
removed;
yet, almost
within this present
Council,
you andI have
seen
a
decided
effort
and
definite attempt
to
make
its
localization
tL.ere permanent.

I think linterpret

correctly,
when
I
say,
that

such

if necessary,

when
such
a sacrifice
is to bring,
as
we

it

would bring,
the opening

people,
surely
it
would
be
amply
and
-
abundantly
rewarded.
Let
us lcok at another
side-*~-What
man
with the slightest
self-respect
and
pride
é
would
sanction
that
his
front
door
~
should be made
his own
and
his
neigh-
l
bor’s dumping
ground?
Similary.
what
representative
with
the slightest
bit
of
-
civic pride would
sanction
that
the
en-
|
trance
of
his
capital
should
be
made
~
his
own and
his
neigbor’s
refuse
heap?
It used
to
be the boast
of
every
inhabi-
tant
of
this
island,
it used
to
be
the
pride
of
every
member
who
formerly
occupied these"
seats
in
this
hall, that
St. Croix
should
be
known
as the
‘“gar-
den of the West
Indies.””
Has
the
civic
pride,
has the ambition of the
men
who
occupied
these
same seats
in 1920,
sunk
so low, that
St. Croix should
be
labeljed
the dumping
ground
of
the
