Miss Lucienne Caudeiron, whose international classical beauty was enhanced by the Wild Rose ball/dress design, ed and made by her talented mother, received a big ova, don as the runner/up, and it was obvious that Miss Glen, da Larocque had a tremend, ous number of admirers of her appealing good looks and charm. Graceful Northern Beauty A dark beauty from the North, Miss Lyn Robin, would have scored this news, paper's marks for dignity and movement; Patricia Monelle was most exotic; Ursula Powell looked regal in nile green; and Susan Laurier's mystery blue gown was a triumph. Sitting as we did among relatives of contestants and calypsonians, it was fair, ly easy to guess who was going to win, for when cer, tain young ladies appeared on stage, the calypsonians rolled off their seats in an ecstasy of appreciation.

SA clear statement on the Little Federation. It is unusual in an editorial to shortlist the main points in advance of its argu, ment. We do so today because we wish to bring these matters tb Government and public attention in a sharp c o n c i s e manner. An immediate budget session is called for, and we live in hope that even before we are in print the date will be set. Such a meeting will provide an opportunity to debate Government's financial provisions for 1964 six weeks of the year having already slipped by. In the middle of February we are as uninformed about im, pottant business as we were'in .the middle - ~December ; metnw--e, tf-re legisators are still drawing their salaries. This is neither thrifty, democratic nor reassuring to the population cf Dominica, which saw the number of Leg. Co. meetings reduced to skinandbone last year. The second necessary step, for which provision should be made in the long, awaited budget, (and if it is not therein, such provision should be insisted upon by the Opposition) is the puttingin-hand right away of a revision of the voters' lists of this territory. Such revisions should actually be made yearly in order to keep the lists up to date and to provide for possible by,elections: after all, legislators are mortal. This measure is even longer overdue; Grenada is one of the other )MINICA HERALD islands which has set a good example by undertiki-ng already a thorough and well, planned voters' list revision. What stops us from doing likewise ? There are already many causes for complaint regarding omissions or mistakes in the old lists; not to revise the lists would be nearly as injurious to the free franchise as the inhibitive effect of property qualifications. It would definite ely reduce the number: of votes cast, by keep- ing people off the rolls. If reform is no: 'done in good time by which we mean NOW we foresee shocking confusion and dissatisfaction whea the notsofaroff general election comes to pass. Thirdly, in certain islands (notably Antigua) Government leaders are being pressed fo state their attitude to the future of the Little Federatioin, particularly if Barbados should (as she has hinted that she might) opt out. We take upon our, selves in the name of the population, to insist that the Chief Minister should break his code of concealment and speak up on -this issus-T-kr-or buiesf- -wv-ir-d all in it, or may all be left out of it: we want to know to what attitudes and decisions the Hon. C. M. may feel him- self empowered to commit us all. A Chief Minister who won his constituency seat by only sixty votes in South Roreau should pause to consider whether personal pronouncements, unbacked by the popu, nation, can be truly representative of the majority. So then let us have a budget session pronto and examine our cashbook, even though it is a grantaided one; gIve us orderly and corrected voters' lists;, tell us what position Dominica is supposed to be taking up in regard to the Little Federa, tion. We ask these civic favours politely, and add the word: PLEASE. DE GAULLE IS RIGHT Fourteen years ago, Great Britain recog, nised Communist China, acting (we presume) on the sensible principle that you cannot ignore the existence of a nation of over 500 million people simply by pre- tending that is does not exist. The Chinese now number over 600 millions, Recently General de Gaulle, whom, no. body in the world could call a leftwing type, recognized Red China officially. Why do we add our feeble little voice to those who say de Gaulle is right Because, although we live in a tiny non-indepen, dent territory, that territory is a British one and we have a right to say what we think. We agree with the British Foreign Secre, tarj-M. Butler that a decentsettlement in South East Asia will not be achieved without Chinese co-operation. We ad, mire the words he spoke this week that the free nations of the world could not "sit back ana rely oni the precarious ba, lance of terror" without trying to 'resolve the major problems betweenn East and West. To recognize does not iimah t6 approve. It simply means to admit that 'sbthething or somebody exists.

She felt the same sensation of pity for him as one might feel for a Spanish pretender or any representative of a passed/away regime in exile; she did not enjoy the derisory glance and the hasty mocking exits from the hall. In the face of facts, it just seemed strange to see that little mm get up and bravely declare "in the name of the people of China ." Moreover, as we have said time and again in our modest newsheet, how can one achieve conversion or co- operation by coercion or by exclusion?

A Conservative British Prime Minister spoke i;i the last few days of the essential transformation which is taking place in the world, and of the urgency of bridging the gap between the rich and the poor. Ten years ago that would have been regarded as a fighting socialist statement, especially whe-' Sir Alec went on to equate racial inequality in some degree with economic inequality. We in Dominica are part of the developing and transforming world, although we may appear to live in a Caribbean backwater. So the little HERALD feels entitled to say this time General de Gaulle is eight. URGENT REQUIREMENTS -AUDY EBUR xO M I P ERL ___ AEFV The Declaration Of Human Rights Continued Article 4.

In reply to a question by Mr. George Thompson M.P., Mr. Duncan Sandys (Colon, ial Secretary) said it had been hoped that Mrs. Ivy Joshua (Minister without Portfolio and wife of St. Vincent's Chief Minister) would resign her post. Mrs. Joshua had been charged with interfering in public works matters, and a state of affairs resulting in financial irregularities had been reached. Mr. Sandys indicated that the Government of Great Britain was not prepared to support a grantaided government which would not comply with such a serious re, commendation, and hope that the Chief Minister of St. Vincent and his government w6uld take the necessary action to comply with his advice. SATURDAYY, FEBRUARY 15 t964, DOMINICA. HERALD PAGE. FIVE i \ A little later on, when I had got more experience, I was inspecting a school in another district. As I ap, preached the village, the local chief met me and told me that I could not possibly sleep in the school, as it was very delapidated, and there were great holes in .the walls. Further, he said that there had been two lions roaring round the village stockade the night before, and he was afraid they might attack me if I slept in the school. I had been told that lions were very easily put off, and as I had walked a very long way to this school I had no inten, tion of going back. So I told the villagers to fill up the holes in the walls w i t h branches of leaves. They shook their heads at the foolishness of Europeans, but they did what I told them. I heard the lions grunting some way off, and presently I heard a great deal of scratching at the door. It did not sound like a lion and I bravely opened the door a little bit, and in walk,- ed a little dog, who evidently thought he would be safer with me. Nothing more happened to me that night, but the next night when I had left this district, two lions were killed by the villagers just outside the school in which I had slept. I got a quite undeserved character for being exceptionally brave from that district. PAE I D~NIAHEAD AURA, ERUR T.19' My Adventures With Wild Animals SAVE YOUR SOIL! SAVE YOUR COUNTRY!

Koeun3 NOTICE TO BANANA GROWERS Distribution of Fertilizers on Credit - Hurricane Rehabilitation Programma .Government has approved ofa second application: of fertilizers for the rehabilitation of the island's total banana acreage.. Pending a final decision as to the terms and scope of rasi&tncr-rornM the ritslGovernmertt or the rehabilita- tion of the banana industry, the Secretary of State h s directed that fertilizers for this application should be issued to growers at ths full cost. It has been decided by Governnrent that this issue shall be made immediately to growers on credit terms in view of the urgent necessity for further fertilization of bananas and the inability of the majority of growers to pay cash for fertilizers at the present time. Growers will be required te repay the full value or part thereof, of fertilizers issued to them on credit depending on the amount of finan, cial assistance and the terms of such assistance finally ap, proved by the Secretary of State. The Banana Association has accordingly arranged for the issue of fertilizers on credit to those growers whose plantations suffered damage to the extent of more than ten per cent in the recent hurricanes. No down payment will be demanded but growers will be required to give a written undertaking that they will make payment on demand if and when required by the Association to do so, and to-agree also in writing that re, payment will be effected by deductions from cheir banana sales at the rate of Ii per lb of bananas sold. Credit issues will commence immediately on the basis of four hundred and fifty pounds (approx. 4 bags) of fer, tilizers per registered acre. Arrangements for distribution will be the same as for the last issue. A. D? BOYD General Manager. DOMINICA BANANA GROWERS ASSOCIATION 7th February, 1964.

To the average person it is merely a chocokte coloured mass of water descending to the sea. In actual fact, what is happening before our eyes, and in an indirect vay, with our con/ sent, is the brutal despoiling of the very lif/,blood of everyone's existence on this Island. I am referring to the deliberate (even if innocent) cultivation of lard, which, be, cause of its composition, the steepness, and the crop, lends itself to that world.,vide cause of poverty known as denudation of the soil. Call it what you like, they are all ugly names. We have been e:-dowed with an Island of very steep slopes, and a soil which washes very easily-if exposed. To cope with such a situation, Nature has provided many and massive trees whi.:h protect the land from being washed away. When large (or small) areas of this forest are replaced by a "chicken" of a tree like the banana, with no man/made protection against heavy rains, to take- the place of the destroyed trees, it is foregone conclusion what will happen when one single inch of rain falls in 24 hours- and this happens quite frequently in Dominica. You see the once crystal clear rivers runi.ing brown with the blood of our Island. Don't mention Agricultural Officers, Forest Rangers, or soil Conservation Per, soinel. The only time to cope with a situation such as this is NOW, and the number of people required to do so is every conscientious member of every community doing his or her bit in controlling the flow of water off the land BEFORE the rain falls. We need not fool ourselves that we have lots more forest, or that it is someone else's respon/ sibility: have you never Feen a D8 Caterpiller at work ? and the responsibility is ours; even those children making gardens near the Goverament Printery should learn all about Soil Conservation NOW. Those of us who think this is all lies, go check with Mar, tinique, and with St. Lucia, check with Grenada and with Carriacou. Let us not fool ourselves it can't happen here; it can, and it will. Everything has a beginning, and the coming careme gives us a golden oppor/ tunity to start: terracing in stone (if available), digging drains, lining out for strips of moistureretaining cultivation, such a grass, peas or other shrubs; with everything on the contour. Dam those ra'ines and streams every 200 feet; with anything available, legs, branches, or stones impossible. Every dam stops the water from gathering speed and carrying away more precious earth. Every dam forces the water to deposit on your land some of the earth it was carrying to the sea. Do not clear land right down to the edge of your stream or river; if everyone did that, we would soon have very few rivers. Leave each stream covered by tall trees. -r -,---Ifarinymr- shyoJ f aapprhinga rn Depmet e try t e grc cultural Society; they are just as friendly. Let us all start NOW by planning our cul, tivation so as to conserve our water supply, preserve our precious earth, and control that flow of top-soil to the sea, otherwise our children will regret it. There is .never any satisfaction for anyone in saying, 'I told you so.' Let us start, shall we Portable Operating Room &U1 PAGE SIX DOMINICA HERALD SATURDAY, FEBRUARY rs, 19C4 --T--~c------- i PAGE SEVEN Inspector Terrence And The North-Coast Smugglers by Clayton Julien THREE shadowy forms were huddled close together in deep conversation unaware of five pairs of eyes (three human, two canine) regarding them with silent patience as though awaiting a prearranged signal. The three figures in open view on the beach conversed quietly, and one suddenly detached itself frcm the rest and headed for a pick-,p jeep, which was parked facing the sea-which seemed to be the object of attraction, since it bore upon it's surface the source of the faint light which had been sighted a few minutes ago. The light was now approaching slowly, and increasing in size. Sud- denly it was extinguished and imme- diately the lights of the jeep sent out two bright beams of illumination, which went off as suddenly as they had come on; this process was re- peated twice before the light on the sea reappeared, t h i s time arcom, panied by a gr.en light. "They're coming ti", announced one of the concealed men. . that was Detective In:pector Terrence of the C.I.D. branch in Roseau; with him were two other officers, who we:e stationed at Po r t s m o u th, Det. Sgt. Walters, and Sgt. L. Leslie. The man who had gone to the jeep, now rejoined his companions, and threefold they advanced towards the edge of the beach. Terrence said, ''Check your wea- pons again, in case you have to use them. These contraband fellers don't joke and force might be necessary" The other two complied with the veteran's order; Walters then procee- ded to unleash the canivores, wh'ch began to growl p r i o r to Leslie's soothing voice requesting them to cut it out. Meanwhile the seacraft which had been the main attraction of the even, ing was quite close now, with only one light on, and each of the men on shore held flashlights. Terrence looked at hs watch; it was 2.48 a.m. At exactly three o'clock, unload, iag began. There were seven men now visible two on deck passing down load from the puntbottomed boat to three standing below and placing them where the other two could pick them up and convey them to the jeep. There were about o0 to 30 2'z x C1" x: 8"- cases and about half a dozen dem'johns. The unloading took about 15 min- utes and the men spoke for about five more before the boat's crew went on board, with it's number increased by one. The. two men watched the boat recede into the engulfing darkness of the horizon before they themselves went to their heavily loaded vehicle. As soon as the jeep's doors slamm- ed shut, Terrence nudged Leslie with his elbow and returned through the bushes to the main road, * The jeep was cruising on the Swamp road at a leisurely 20 m. p. h. when the bright headlamps picked a man with two animals at his side. The driver eased the machine into second gear, and his companion said. ''You see what I see Marlie. Don't stop, it could be a d-d Lougarou gargon!" "You too blasted coward and stupid for a big man James. Peut &tre c'est un nom hod Toucarie qui kaye asher un docteur pour chaque mondic qui mailade a cascllh; or maybe the man hunting manicou or......." he stopped speaking in his effort to srop and swerve away from one of the dogs which had suddenly run in fiont of the jeep. 'he man who accompanied the dogs came up slowly to the le't side of the jeep, shielding his face from the blinding glare of the head, lamps with his hand, and said to the driver, "Goo goo good nigh suh, ah is iest trying to reach Portsmouth suh, you could give me a liff please suh?" Marlie grunted something intelli- gible, then commented, "Man what you doin' out at this hour? Is not night again you know; it is a quarter to four now; anyway. ." and as his prospective passenger's wandered to the back of the jeep, ".. that's none of your d--d business bossman, hurry up and pass around". The man hesitated, then attempt- ed passing around "ia the back, and grabbed ihe man by the collar, at the same time bringing out an ugly looking revolver; but all that effort was wasted; for before the revolver could complete it's ascending arc, Marlie's body completed a swift descending arc, consequent to a JUJITSU fall expertly executed by the owner of the dogs, who was no less a person than Terrence. James sensing something wrong' began opening the door on his side, and found that it opened much too easily and quickly, and amazedly found himself on the hard earth; and much greater was his surprise when he found himself on recovery looking into the menacing mouths of two Police Positivee held by Walters and Leslie. who had been secret passengers aboard the jeep. He was escorted round to the other side of the jeep, formally arrested with his colleague by Lelie on charges for smuggling, and carrying unlicensed offensive weapons, then handcuffed. The drive to Portsmouth was uneventful, and at the Station Malcom Gilbert, and James Ludley, though faced with the evidence of the seized smuggled goods, refused to give statements until 6 25 a.m. a when young lawyer Renny Arm- strong advised them to do so thus implicating a number of other members of thattrade, including some of t h o s e which Terrence had on his list of suspects. Before noon, the big-boys of the organisation with most of the smaller fry were netted in and bound for Headquarters in Roseau; the Guadeloupe and St. Barts Police,had, by that time, received some very informative wired messa- ges.

It says that ia 1940 a committee of U. S. Senators declared Puerto Rico's problems "unsolvable" but two years afier that unwise decision, a young politician named Luis Mu;nz '4arin organized a self help program called Operation Bootstrap. Many of us have heard of this Bootstrap thing but we vcre amzed at the size of the program now. Today the average percapita income in Puerto Rico is $740 (US) per year. That nearly $1,200 BWI. And how'. did this s,,ady rise in prosperity take place? When Munoz Marin became Governor in 1945, he invited companies to come to Puerto Rico promising them wide tax advantages. In those days it was for a ten-year period. Then, he further promised a vast reservoir of unskilled but "eager to learn" labour. Now these "tax advantages" have been stretched to 17 years and new businesses are coming into Puerto Rico at the rate of $1,000,000 per day. Now the average work- ing man's wage is $1.II (US) an hour! This is the same as $1.90 in Dominican money per hour ofwork! Few of us figure hourly wages here but according to most em- ployers we have talked to, the average hourly wage on Eomi;ica now is less than 20 . A few weeks ago we reported a large real estate boom on Montserrat due to the "Tax Advantages" that local government were giving to n-wcomers. It will be interest, ing to watch the progr-ss there and see if in 20 years' time, Montserrat's total income skyrockets like Puerto Rico's. This tax gimmick is quite simple: most of the world's bigger nations impose heavy taxes on business and industry. Therefore, if the small, backward places offEr business o, x5 or o years ta relief, well then, it pays the business to go to that place and build his factory or plant or office. When a new business comes into a backward place like that they first have to (i) build their plant or office, and (2) hire Workers and (3) train Te woersto askil. Once the workers get a skill they earn more and, of course, spend more so the backward place prospers. The finest example of this is a plaee called Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. We personally visited this amaz, ing place and interviewed its "founder".-- the man with the idea. His name is Wallace Groves, a lawyer, now about 50 years old. He got a contract with the British Government (Grand Bahama is a Crown Colony) to lease the eastern 2,3rds of this large flat island for 99 years. The "rent" Groves agreed to pay was in the form of civic bet, terment: (I) a deepwaterharbour and turning basin for oceangoing ships; (2) schools, hospitals, Court house, police headquarters, telephone company, water works, rozds, recreation areas and houses. Groves agreed to do all this for a 99-year le-se on 200,000 acres! Then he simply offered any business in the world to come there-tax.free, for 99 years! And do you know who came there? Ludwig, the world's largest shipbuilder! Shell Oil Company. A milliondollar cement plant. Dozens of small manufacturers of'from -everything like surgical equipment, electronics and furniture to tractors, outboard motors to ladies dresses! Do you think there is unemployment there? Groves went fishing for commerce and industry. His bait? No taxes! Firms can import, export, come and go - earn all they like ... no tax on anything. How does he operate the schools, the police (he pays the salaries of all British Government personnel in Freeport) etc? He charges the businesses who have come there 2z% of their gross sales per year. This small amount now adds up to millions of dollars. So they say.

At the end the sccre was o18 for 9 and it couid have been anybody's game. H. Jno Baptiste top scored with 44 while T.

The B.G side is a strong well-balanced one featuring test stars Kanhai, Butch; er and Solomon, while Barbados can boast of an opening attack com, uprising Messrs Hall &'Griffith, and a competent batting line-up starring Weeks, Hunte, Lashley and Blades and company. South Africa -Austra- lia Draw Series Contragrto the promise it ergi-' neered the fifth and final test match between the touring Africanateam and Australia ended ma iame draw. Many factors were responsible for this: among which must b num, bered the slow, almost passive na- ture of the wicket aud the inabi- lityof\the Springboks to press home the advantage when vic, tory was within reach. Australia never looked very formidable in this test. The scores were Australia 311 Booth 102 not out, Joe Patridge 7 for 91 and 270, Booth 87, South A.frca 411, Bland 126, Lindsay 75, Benaud 4for I8 and 76 for no wicket, Goddard 46 not out. The tourists have already arrived in New Zealand for their 7 match engagement, including 3 tests. In the 14 first class games played in Australia the Springooks won 5, drew 6 and lost 3. The test avqra, ges show Aussie star batsmen Brian Booth topping the honours with 531 runs from 7 innings, average 88.5, while South Africa's prolificrun getter Barlow aggregated 603 from o1 innings for an average of just over 75. Peter Pollack had the best bowling average on either side 25 wickets at 28.4 runs apiece. Barry Shepherd Ommitted A surprise omission from the seventeen players named to tour England this summer is Barry Shepherd who performed with moderate success in the recently con, eluded series. There are four new caps in the persons of New South Wales pacemen Cawling, Victoria's Potter, Cooper and South Austra- lian allrounder Ron Sellers: the full team reads as fellows: Booth, Birge, Conally, Cooper, Cawling, Grout, Hawke, Jarman, Lawry, Martin, McK-enzie, O'Neil, 1 otter, Sellers, Simpson and Veivers. The captain, who is to be chosen later is generally expected to be Bobby Simpson. MIC.C, vs India--Another Draw M. C. C. and India played to a fourth consecutive inconclusive almost colourless draw in the present series. Although four centuries were scored in the match, the accent was on defence and very little effort was made to force a decision. The Scores were India 344, Hanumant Singh 105 on his Ist appearance for India, and 463 for 4, Kunderam Ioo (his and century of the series) Nawab of Pataudi 203 rot out; M. C.
