Lrrtirunt Registae.d with Postma.sr or 8hTmss for postage concessions within the Bahamas) Nassau and Bahama Islands Leading Newspaper VOL. LXX1, No. 82 Thursday, February 28, 1974 Price: 20 Cents It's a disappointment, say dealers THE PETROLEUM Dealers Association made it clear today that Government's new gasoline prices are a "disappointment," but there was "no comment" on whether there would be any dealer action to force improvement of their position. Association secretary Algie Darville issued a statement after getting the views of a number of PDA members in telephone conversations. "We don't want the public, the Prices Commission or the oil companies to get the impression that we're happy," Mr. Darville declared. "The dealers requested the Prices Commission to restore to us the percentage mark-up that we had prior to the December 28 price revision. That was our specific request. Our request has not been granted." for Mr. Darville said Association members "appreciate the small relief" which came in the form of a 16-cent mark-tiup, and added that it would "no doubt relieve some of the financial burden of the dealers." But, he pointed out, the new mark-up merely restores to us the loss we took in the Dec. 28 revision, with an additional half-cent. "In terms of percentage return on our investment," he continued, "under the new prices the dealers have only gained one-half of one percent mark-up on high-test gasoline compared to the Dec. 28 prices, and we are still 8.77 percent below our mark-up of prior to Dec. 28. "It would appear that no interest was placed on percentages, and only the cents-per-gallon mark-up was considered. notwithstanding the cost of the product to rhe I top SPIRALLING international oil prices filtered through to the Bahama. today for the third time in six months. producing a 1I cents per gallon increase in the retail price of high-test gasoline. the nation's best seller. The various increases in the four types of fuel in the three separate pricing areas New Providence. Freeport and the out Islands averaged 13.5 cents per gallon. Contributing most to the overall average were the Freeport aie4 generally, where reclassification pushed up prices more' than anywhere else, and diesel fuel specifically, which was *hardest-hit of the "four fuel-types with a price increase in the three pricing areas averaging 15.3 cents per gallon. The price increase at both the retail and the wholesale levels was approved today by price-controlling Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Arthur D. Hanna. The increases are believed unlikely to satisfy the Petroleum Dealers Association. The retail service station operators complained that the last gas price revision, on December 28, cut their mark-up on the high volume high-test gasoline from just under 32 percent to just over 22 percent. Today's price changes give the dealers a mark-up of just over 23 percent. A PDA press statement was expected sometime today. In New Providence, the country's population and commercial centre, retail prices have gone up an average of 12.2 cents per gallon. The price at the pumps of regular gasoline, the smallest seller, went up 12 cents from 67 to 79 cents per gallon. The wholesale cost went up ten cents from 53 to 63 cents per gallon. The most-popular high-test fuel's retail price also went up 12 cents, from 73 to 85 cents per gallon, while the wholesale price rose 9.5 cents from 59.5 to 69 cents. High (100) octane fuel, whose popularity plummetted since the Dec. 28 increase put it up to 80 cents, has now risen a further ten cents to 90 cents per gallon. The fuel's wholesale price has increased nine cents from 65.5 to 74.5 cents per gallon. The retail price of diesel fuel in New Providence has climbed to 79 cents a gallon, 15 cents over the previous 64. The wholesale price has risen 15 cents also, from 52 to 67 cents. Freeport's maximum prices went up the highest. Freeport, as a result of tariff advantages under the Hawksbill Creek Agreement, has been able to Sell fuels for less than in Nassau, and was accordingly given a separate pricing classification under earlier AT SEE SALE PRICES EVERY DAY ad YOU SAVE! , By MIKE LOTHIAN Gasoline and Deisel Price Control Regulations. Now, however, ti.e area's prices have 'e~ ., br.' "I '-,: .' 'ith those in New Providence. As a result, the retail price of regular gas in Freeport has risen 14 cents from 65 to 79 cents per gallon. The wholesale price has gone up 12.5 cents, from 50.5 to 63 cents per gallon. High-test fuel has increased 15 cents at the retail pumps from 70 to 85 cents per gallon. Wholesale prices rose 13 cents from 56 cents a gallon. The retail price of 100 octane has increase 17 cents from 73 to 90 cents a gallon, following a wholesale rise of 16.5 cents from 58 cents per gallon. Diesel fuel in Freeport has jumped 15 cents from 64 to 79 cents at the pumps, matching a 15-cent rise in the wholesale price from the previous 52 cents per gallon. In the Out Islands. there are middle-men distributors operating between the wholesale oil companies in Nassau and the Out Island retail stations, so that in effect the wholesale prices in the Out Islands are considerably higher than in New Providence and Freeport, resulting also ini higher retail prices. All the prices quoted in relation to the Out Islands are automatically subject under price control regulations to increases to match shipping costs. In the Out Islands the retail increase average 13.2 percent, compared with an average wholesale rise of 12.1. The new retail prices in the Out Islands for regular gasoline, high-test, 100 octane and diesel fuel are all two cents (plus freight charges) higher than those applicable in New Providence and Freeport. The last gasoline price increase to hit Bahamian motorists came on December 28. Prior to that, there had been a revision on August 16 last year. the dealers." Under the August 16 gasoline price control regulations, the dealers had a 15.5-cent mark-up, 31.958 percent of the 48.5 cents they had to pay wholesalers. The December revision pushed the wholesale price up 11 cents but limited retailers to a nine-cent increase, with the result that the retail mark-up, despite the increased wholesale price, was cut to 13.5 cents a gallon, or 22.689 percent. The service station operators protest, with a 60-hour shutdown of their stations on the weekend of January 4-6. Mr. Darville added that many customers, failing to understand the price structure, are blaming the dealers today for the entire 12-cent retail increase, when in fact the wholesale price increase is responsible for all but 2.5 cents of the overall rise. )rice : SHELL 100 * i l no- Committee to probe 1 A FIVE-MEMBER House committee has been appointed to inquire into all matters relating to the high cost of propane gas. LP gas was increased from $13 a drum to $21 in December. St. Agnes representative Bruce Bra.vnen (PLP), yesterday moved for appointment of the committee "not to convict the sellers" but to determine the reason for the price increase. "If the increase was necessary, let this committee come back to the House and present the facts," Mr. Braynen said. "so that constituents would be satisfied that it was justified. The motion was supported by Cat Island representative Oscar Johnson (PLP) who noted however, that the matter did not stop just with LP gas. Housewives, those in business and all residents of the Bahamas were acutely aware of the cost of living situation in the Bahamas. Mr. REDUCE TAX LEVI THE FREE National Movement today called on Government to "substantially reduce the level of taxation now being imposed on gasoline to lessen the burden on the consuming public." The FNM statement came on the heels of Government authorisation of increases in gasoline prices that put the most popular fuel, high-test gasoline, up to 85 cents a gallon. Taxes, industry sources have revealed, amounted to 30.1 percent of the former price of 73 cents, or about 22 cents on the gallon. As a result of today's wholesale and retail price increases, taxation now accounts for almost 26 percent of motorists' fuel costs. An FNM spokesman pointed out that the public "depends heavily on their cars" in the absense of a mass transit system, and the high prices will result in motorists' taking economy measures to reduce their consumption, and that would reduce Government's he cost Johnson suggested that those people who patted themselves for supporting various charities might better direct their attention to discovering why there was need for charities in this affluent society. The root cause, he said. was the "out and out" monopoly on LP gas. Another system employed by the two companies, Mr. Johnson charged, was to boycott a customer who wanted to transfer his business, even though he was prepared to pay cash. "That attitude displayed by the gas companies runs to the very core of those who control the economy. The practice they put into effect with LP touches on the lives of every Bahamian in this country.. Named to the committee were Mr. Braynen. Mr. Johnson: Edmund Moxey (PLP-Coconut Grove); Errington Watlkins (Ind.- Marsh Harbour) and Cyril Tynes (FNM-Crooked Island). EL-FNM revenue from petroleum taxes anyway. If the price of gasoline could be kept down by a reduction in tax, however, the public would probably not cut consumption significantly, the FNM said.

Fhe surprise announcement follows Mr. Watkin's expulsion from the Free National Movement last year for tailing to toe the party's line on the Abaco independence issue. The Abaco member said today that he felt every Bahamian had an obligation to help in the country's development. The Opposition however, seemed to have no sense of direction and was ineffective. He therefore could not support them and he had no intention of remaining "a lone voice in the wilderness."

While it was true that the interest of union leadership for its members and the interests of management did not always coincide, there was, they felt, a vast area of mutual interest. Stated the report. "It cannot be disputed that a healthy industry, potentially able to give full employment to upwards of 12.000 workers in existing properties is of mutual concern. "The present atmosphere of mistrust can only delay the achieving of this objective."

At the same time employee manuals should be revised to take into account that employees at lower levels are inclined to be more sensitive than those on higher levels.

In the ten hotels studied, telephone losses varied from $10,000 to a high of $77,000. Transportation costs for employees and guests in each of four of the hotels were in excess of $60,000 per year and in one case over $100,000. Administrative and general expenses were regarded as extremely high by any standards. "Administrative and general payroll alone in the Bahamas is 88 per cent of the total administrative and general expenses for Florida and 82 per cent of those in Hawaii," the report says. HIGH EXPENSES "Other administrative and general expenses are more than double those of Florida;nearly equal total Hawaii expenses and exceed those of Puerto Rico". Usually high expenses in these areas were: Cashier shortages - $90,000 for six hotels. Four of these had losses over $12,000 and one, more than $30,000. Bed debts of $712,000 for nine hotels Guest ledger di s c repancies ai.d after- departure ci.-ugas o, amounts varying from $5,000 to over 5100,000. Lost and damaged articles accounted for a $30,000 loss for six hotels. Five of the hotels paid over $25,00A 'ach nd two off these spent over $45,000 on security. Credit card commissions totalled $323,000. "As in other areas," the report said. "the Bahama hotels had higher expenditures for advertising and promotion than any area except Puerto Rico, with an average of $927 per room. While it was not unusual in the early years for new properties to budget generously for advertising and promotion, the consultants i['i.nd that this practice was continued by older properties as well. 'Advertising and pro- motion costs of $3.6 mil- lion for the ten hotels, when added to the rooms commissions paid by the same hotels comes to a grand total of $6.8 million," the report said. Given the trends of the industry in the Bahamas, Dayton-Keenan recommended that "perhaps the energy, tent and resources devoted to advertising and promotion could be directed in part more .ti,.. urit and profitably to the local ills of the industry." Electrician jailed AN 18-YEAR-OLD Oxford Avenue electrician who pleaded guilty to three counts of housebreaking and stealing was sentenced to 1 2 months in jail today when he appeared in the lower court before magistrate Emmanuel Osadebay. Eric Poison was accused by police of breaking into the homes of Everette Bruno in Regency Park, David Graham, Shirley Park Avenue, and the home of Neville Gibson. He was accused of stealing cash amounting to $355 from the homes. Poison also pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted housebreaking arising from an incident on June 22 when police said he tried to break into the home of Terrence Jones, Lancaster Street. 1 DUDLEY'S COR.

Some cities reported long lines at the polling booths and there were indications of a massive turnout, usually a good sign for Labour. Polls still gave the Conservatives a slight edge, however. In England, the election is being fought largely over bread-and-butter issues, and observers say that no matter who wins, Britons face another round of belt-tightening.

The crisis-ridden campaign has seen Prime Minister Edward Heath and Labour chieftain Harold Wilson each claiming to be the man to halt the nation's slide toward bankruptcy and class conflict. The voting culminates months of grave industrial and economic unrest. The country's 280,000 coal miners are on strike for more pay, aggravating fuel shortages already serious because of soaring oil prices. For two months many Britons have been working a fuel-saving three-day week with two million temporary or permanently jobless. I he nation is spending abroad at an annual rate of nearly $8.8 billion more than it earns. rhis represents the worst trade deficit in British history. Runaway inflation has sent food prices up by 53 per cent since Heath took office in June 1970. The country's 40 million or so eligible voters have been told that, whoever wins, belt-tightening years lie ahead with higher taxes and lower living standards, reminiscent of World War II. Heath, Wilson and Thorpe have presented their own answers to one central question: Can the British people, their empire gone and their economy crippled, restore their pride and place in the world? Only through "firm and fair government," Heath has insisted. He argues this cannot be achieved by Labour plans to nationalize a huge slice of industry and buckle before the demands of labour unions, opening the way for an ultimate Communist takeover. Wilson's answer: By "getting Britain back to work again with Labour." The Tories must not get another chance to widen the gulf between the wealthy and the needy, he says. Ile has hammered Labour's theme of "conciliation not confronta- tion." with pledges of a soak-the rich tax policy, food subsidies, price controls and a gentleman's agreement with the unions to curb wage rises. Thorpe has lashed both Heath and Wilson as symbols of the extreme right and left His cure-all for Britain's woes emphasizes moderation. Hie has picked elements from both programmes and spiced them with ideas of his own. The result: A policy of consensus on il er thing controversial from Britain's membership in the European Common Market to the regulation of industrial relations.

"Every now and then you get a traditional collector," he said, adding that new consumers of gold coins were mainly professional persons, "who are aware of what is taking place." Wednesday, U.S. 20 dollar pieces were going for 360 dollars. Two days earlier, the price was 330 dollars. And just two weeks earlier, it was 260 dollars. Vigdor said customers are waiting one to two hours at the rate of a couple of hundred a day just to buy gold. "It's not only here," he said. "I speak to dealers all over, and it's nationwide." He said his biggest problem was the ignorance of buyers. Coen described his advice: "I won't let people talk to me about investment. I say, 'talk to me about speculation', and I talk to them.

(AP) Now Messmer picks up the pieces PARIS Premier Pierre Messmer was putting together a ne4 government today that will hopefully be free of the internal bickering that plagued his last one in recent months. The new team faces some hard decisions on economic and social measures and Messmer said it will have "better cohesion and the greatest effectiveness possible to decide and to act." MUTINY CRISIS FOR SELASSIE ADDIS ABBA I emperor Hlaile Selassie rushed troop reinforcements to Ethiopia's borders with Somalia today amid a widespread troop mutiny for higher pay and border skirmishes with the Somalis. Prime Minister Aklilu Ilapetworld submitted his government's resignation after four generals tailed to negotiate an end to the mutiny. now in its third day. Instead the rebels in Asmara in Northern i-thiiopia, took three of the generals hostage and sent the fourth one back to Addis Ababa with new demands. The 8 2-year-old Emperor appealed for national unity and said Etthiopia, one of Africa's poorest countries, was a victim of world inflation and "hostile outside forces." iHe said the nation was in great difficulties but had faced greater problems in its 2,500-year history. TIhe government accused Somalia. Ethiopia's neighbour to the east and southeast, of massing troops along the border to inflame the situation, Military units from near Addis Ababa headed south and east. and official sources reported skirmishes between Ethiopian soldiers and Somalis who crossed into Fthi'i si ' Ib'L., rii ie Ogaden desert.

"I wish I had done this three weeks ago.," the woman said, confessing she was hardly a numismatist. "But I'm learning." With inflation continuing and gold prices soaring, the city's biggest coin dealers report that Americans are buying gold frantically, widly and viluminously. By law, Americans can own gold only as collectors. "We can't even handle the volume any more," said Luis Vigdor, coin manager at Manfra. Tordella and Brookes Inc. at Rockefeller Centre. "I've never seen a situation lik this." At Joel D Coen Inc.. the proprietor closed down for the day Wednesday to sort bags of silver coins amid the clamour of ringing telephones and patrons vainly seeking entrance to his store. "These people drive me out of my mind on these gold quotes," Coen sighed, leaving a cheese sandwich uneaten.

Push-pull statements and decisions in the past several weeks have often given the impression Messmer's 38-man team was working at cross purposes.

Publisher/Editor 1917-1972 Contributing Editor 1972 - EILEEN DUPUCH CARRON,M.Sc., B.A., LL.B., Publisher/Editor 1972.- EDITORIAL The world around us By ETIENNE DUPUCH GRAND CAYMAN, January 23 English newspapers are now showing an increased interest in Central, South American and Caribbean affairs. A couple of days ago I reviewed an article with a London date line that discussed the possibility of relations between the U.S. and Cuba being normalized. A later article by Hugh O'Shaughnessy of the London Observer Service reports that "Cuban officials in London and other cities of Western Europe are trying to persuade left-wing Chilean refugees to move to Havana and join a movement to overthrow the Chilean Military junta." The report states that this agitation is being promoted by Carlos Altaminano, the Secretary General of the late Salvador Allende's Chilean Socialist Party, who escaped to Cuba when Allende was killed during a military coup. O'Shaughnessy went on to comment that "this shift comes in the face of the bloody right-wing coup in Chile and more or less violent right-wing trends in Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela and other countries" in Latin America. It is this movement to the right in former radical areas of the Americas that leads the U.S. to hope and believe that the Communist drive may have come to a halt in this hemisphere and is now going into reverse. President Nixon has taken a long step towards improving U.S. relations with Communist China and the Soviet Union. If the barriers with Cuba are now broken down it is possible that the left-wing threat that Uncle Sam had feared might develop in some of the new island governments may level off. Another article on this area comes from the London Observer Service and bears the by-line of John Crocker. It is date-lined Tortola, British Virgin Islands. There are two groups of Virgin Islands one British and the other American. And therein lies a problem because the two groups are being thought of as one area in the outside world. As a result the British group fear that they may suffer from the reputation for murder and violence that has driven tourists away from the American group. The British Virgin Islands are much smaller and quieter than their American neighbours in this northern Caribbean island group. Crocker quotes a tourist official in the British area as saying that "it might even get to the point of us having to change our name. Unlike almost anywhere else in the Caribbean today," he went on, "people, including young girls, can walk about here at night without fear of being molested. You can leave your doors open and your cars unlocked. Nobody but a lunatic would do the things that are happening in the U.S. Virgin Islands." There are about 60 islands in the British group and the difference to conditions that exist in the American group is remarkable because they are separated only by a narrow body of water. They are so close that Crocker describes them as being "only a stone's throw apart". This marked difference in the way of life of two peoples who live in such close proximity to each other emphasizes the fact that the British are a more disciplined people than the Americans. The British Virgin Islands have complete internal self-government. They are at the same stage of political development as the Bahamas before our islands moved into independence on July 10th last year. There is a feeling in the American group that the British islands should become integrated with their American neighbours under the Stars and Stripes. "At the first of the annual 'Friendship Day' celebrations, held in October 1972, one U.S. Virgin Islands legislator talked about the need for 'absorption' of the British Virgin Islands into the United States territory. "However, this sort of remark angers most of the 10,200 British Virgin Islanders. Why should a broadly happy and reasonably prosperous (nobody need be out of a job) group of people, accustomed to a British-style democratic system, be 'absorbed' by a larger group where there is social unrest, unemployment and an American system of government where, to put it mildly, corruption and graft are not unheard of?'" The British islands came under American influence to the extent that the U.S. dollar has for some time been the official currency of this group. "Last June, however, the British Virgin Islands," Crocker reports, "celebrated 300 years of British rule by issuing their own coinage, and this has resulted in the curious situation of the (ueen's head appearing on a United States dollar coinage." It is planned to give the islands a new constitution. "A constitutional commission appointed by London arrived here in November and it is expected that the British Virgin Islands will get the new constitution next year," Crocker reports. "At the moment the British Government helps the British Virgin Islands to balance its budget to the tune of about $1S million annually and, in addition, the various British aid agencies have been advancing some $2 million a year in development rtpney. : "The Chief Minister is very firm on one point," the report continues. "He accepts as almost everybody does here that the only possible way to enrich the economy of these islands is through tourism. But he insists that development beach hotels, shopping plazas, yacht marinas and so on must not be allowed tq, interfere with the islanders right to control their own property and destiny. "Three years ago, the government decided that one particular mtlti-million-dollar development scheme, which had already been started, would not, after all, benefit the islanders because the terms given the developers were too liberal and gave them too rniach power. A halt was ordered and the developers were bought oat with the help of a $5.8 million interest-free loan from the Btitish government." -An interesting fact brought out by Crocker in his article is that tourismm rose by 18 percent in 1972 at a time when tourism in the Caribbean generally declined". 'The Cayman Islands also claim a substantial increase in their tourist business during this period. It is interesting to note that both the British Virgin Islands and tle Cayman Islands are still British territory and the Union Jack still flies from the flagpoles in public places and a highly qualified British governor still represents Her Majesty the Queen even tlhugh control is centred almost entirely in the native people. iThis article today will deal entirely with events outside the Bihamas. Donald M. Fleming. newly-elected director and chairman of the board of Solomon Brothers Limited (third from left, seated) presided at a meeting of the Company's it,,.' m r this week From left to right, seated, are Harold Wilkinson, general manager: Fane Solomon, president. Mr. Fleming. and Roy M. Solomon, vice-president and managing director. Standing are the three new board members, left to righ, Robert H Symonette, Donald F. Britchford and Ronald E. Strange. New men for Solomon board THE ELECTION of four new members to the board of directors of Solomon Brothers Limited was announced today by Roy M. Solomon, managing director of the 66-year-old wholesale and retail firm. In addition to Mr. Roy Solomon, who is also vice president, the company's officers and directors include Fane Solomon, president, and Harold Wilkinson, general manager. Sons of the two founders of the business, the late Cyril Solomon and the late Captain Eric Solomon, Mr. Fane Solomon and Mr. Roy Solomon entered the firm after attending schools in England. They returned to Solomon Brothers in 1946 after World War II service. Mr. Fane Solomon is an underwriting Member of Lloyd's. Mr. Roy Solomon was a member of the House of Assembly for San Salvador and rum Cay for 19 years until the 1968 general election when he did not offer as a candidate. He was appointed Minister of Posts and Telecommunications from 1964 to 1967. Mr. Wilkinson who came to Nassau in 1944 with the British Army settled here after demobilization in England in 1947. He joined Solomon Brothers in 1959 as manager of The Pipe of Peace, succeeding Oswald Sweeting upon the latter's retirement. In 1967 Mr. Wilkinson was appointed general manager of all the firm's operations and elected a director in the same year. "In projecting our programme of planned expansion," Mr. Roy Solomon said, "my colleagues and I decided that the board would be substantially strengthened by the inclusion of men from outside the company with broad experience in finance and marketing in the Bahamian business sector. The new directors include Mr. Donald M. Fleming, P.C., Q.C., managing director of Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited, and of the Bank's other trust operations in the Caribbean and West Indies. At a meeting held on February 25 Mr. Fleming was also elected Chairman of the Board. Prior to taking up his appointment in Nassau in 1966. Mr. Fleming had a distinguished career in law and government in his native Canada. He was called to the Bar of Ontario in 1928. He served from 1945 to 1963 as a I am giving this information space in my column because I think it is important for our people to know what is happening all around them. A Miami Herald news bureau despatch from Azul, Argentina reports that President Juan Peron has launched a big anti-terrorism drive in his country. On more than one occasion recently I have referred to Peron as an example of what happens when a political leader poisons the minds of a people and sets in motion a doctrine that tries to establish the idea that this is indeed "the century of the common man". This socialistic doctrine loses sight of the fact that, without the vision and drive of "the uncommon man ", human society would descend to its lowest denominator ... and the common man would starve to death. In the process "the uncommon man" may be dragged down to a low level but, by the very nature of life. he would still rise to the top of the pile. Before Peron and his late wife Evita got control of Argentina- this was a great country. I was amazed when I first visited Buenos Aires about 25 years ago. It was like a great American city. It made me think of Chicago. Its economy was still sound ... but Peron introduced a revolutionary leftwing programme aimed at milking the rich. Soon after I was in Buenos Aires Peron was driven out by a military coup but by that time the nation's economy had been so completely undermined that no one has been able to repair the damage. In desperation Peron was called back to the country recently to see what he could do to repair his own destructive handiwork. But the rate of decay has accelerated since Peron's return to power. "His voice quivering," The Herald article reports, "Peron has called for a general mobilization of the people to assist in putting down terrorism and kidnapping which have increased since he took office on October 12". In 1951 I was in Buenos Aires for the nation's annual Independence celebrations. Thousands of people came into this capital city from the country towns. They wore national costumes and most of them rode into the city on the backs of donkeys to hear Peron give his annual address from the balcony of the Ministry of War's red building in the great public square of the city. At the time Peron was still a god among the people and his wife Evita was their saint. In spite of her vicious record ... she was a woman who came up out of a brothel and, as Peron's wife. terrorized the merchant community into making unreasonable contributions to a fund she promoted, supposedly for the poor, she was regarded as a Saint by the people. I am told that she was gently reprimanded by the Pope because, when he received her in private audience, she was not very discreetly dressed. She was anything but a Saint in the eyes of the church but it is no idle talk that she was canonized in the minds and hearts of the Argentinian working people. I moved in the crowd in Buenos Aires on their great festive day. Women were selling supposedly holy pictures of St. Evita. Two girls got terribly annoyed when I refused to buy this trash. I told them so in no uncertain terms. I could afford to do this because an hour later I was leaving the country for a flight to Brazil. Were I staying there I would most certainly have received a visit from the secret police. Now the pattern has changed. Peron has created a monster he cannot tame. A group who styles themselves the People's Revolutionary Army is now highly critical of Peron. They call him a "bourgeois reformist" who has "betrayed the masses." Somewhere in Shakespeare's plays he has a line to the effect that he who steals a man's purse steals nothing but he who steals a man's reputation robs him of his most valuable possession. In the same way I can say that he who burns down a man's house does him only temporary harm but he who destroys a man's mind turns him into a dangerous animal. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. THUREAU Member of the Canadian Parliament He served as Minister of Finance and Receiver General from 1057 to 1062. and as Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada from 1962 to 1963. Also joining the Solomon Brothers Board is 4Q-year-old Robert Hlallam S\ monette. who returned to Nassau in 1 94o after studying engineering at lassachusetts Institute of Technology. In I948 he built the Nassau Yacht Haven and later opened the Pilot House Club to cater for the vacation needs ashore of y achtsmen using the facilities of the vacht haven.

The Joseph Lucas group, in co-operation with the Solar Power Corporation of America, has developed a charger for the roof of the car which converts light into electrical energy. During daylight hours the unit charges a storage battery powering lighting and ancillary equipment. This eliminates the tendency for lights, normally run from the traction batteries, to dim as the battery power decreases and means maximum power is conserved for traction. The electric car is owned by John Hudson (C V.)

The car has a range of up to 28 miles (45kins) on a single charge and a top speed exceeding 40 m.p.h.

DEAR ABBY: A woman wrote that she heard strange voices coming from her turned-off radio and traced it to her neighbor-a ham radio operator. Your reply was an insult to more than 285,000 radio amateurs in the U.S.A. She should first contact the ham, and if he is indeed a licensed ham operator, he has had to pass strict examina- tions which require him to know enough to keep a good, non-interfering signal on the air. If he's at fault, he would appreciate being told, so he can promptly remedy the situa- tion. There are thousands of nonlicensed law-breakers oper- ating radios on another service who often cause interfer- ence, for which we hams are blamed. Our record for sel- policing and helping in emergencies is too often overshad- owed by annoying interference from someone who is not a licensed ham.

We would have gone even tho it would have meant traveling to another state and spending a night in a motel, but the date of her wedding conflicted with the opening of hunting season. My husband loves to hunt, and I've never planned anything that would keep him from his hunting. I wrote her a nice letter, explaining why we couldn't attend her wedding. A few days later we received this one from her: "Dear godparents: I received your letter today, and I am disappointed and insulted. My fiance is also a hunter, and so are many of his friends, but they all seem able to make it to our wedding. Hunting season comes every year, but I get married only once, therefore I feel that your excuse is very flimsy and downright disgusting. And please don't send me a gift as it won't be appreciated. YOUR GODDAUGHTER" Abby, we were shocked! I wanted to reply, but my husband said: "Ignore it." He was also glad we declined now that he found out what kind of a person she is. How would you have handled this? SHOCKED DEAR SHOCKED: When declining the invitation, I'd have omitted the reason. But since you didn't, and she took' offense, I'd have ignored her rude letter and saved the price of a wedding gift. DEAR ABBY: How do you get a little wart off your hands? JUDI DEAR JUDI: Dermatologically speaking-see a derma- tologist. Socially speaking-tell him you're busy. Problems? You'll feel better if you get it off your chest.

This was well within Kayla's scope as her Bachelor of Music degree course had included chorale conducting. So the Chamber Singers were born a year ago. They are a small group. Kayla explained, a cross-section of about 20 of the better singers They put on two concerts in 1973 at the Lutheran Church and also did a commercial for the Ministry of Tourism which is now being shown on network T.V. in the States. It consists of a medley of Bahamian songs against a pictorial background of a moonshot on Fleuthera. In December the Chamber Singers performed in the Fli Whitney auditorium, Pompano Beach. Florida for a benefit con ce rt. At present they are preparing simultaneously for two concerts in Freeport and thile Music Festival at Easter. The program for the Freeport concerts is one performance for children and an evening variety for adults which will consist of Bach, Brahms, Samuel Barber, Balfour and Rubbra and negro spirituals and calypso these latter arranged by husband. Desmond. For the Music Festival the Chamber Singers will present Moiart's Reina C(oeli soli and chorus and instrumental song As the reader will no doubt obhserse the Freeport concert progranitle is in two halves classical and lighter. "Underneath it all our aim is to expose our audiences to all ty pes of music", Kayla said. She continued: "The Bahamas is a singing country . ]he average Bahamian can carr\ a tune. My whole aim is to bring out the talent that is there already. Our goal is to bring professionalism ... We'd like to go to all the faniils islands to give concerts".
