OFF KOREAN COAST—This unusual aerial photo, showing the mighty Battleship USS New Jersey firing her nine 16-inch guns in one salvo, was taken during one of the Mighty Jay’s bombardment mission adjacent to the 38th Parallel in Korea. A salvo of this type is capable of tearing off the top of a moun tain. Notice the terrific push effect firing of all nine guns has on the ship. Large Relief Map of St. Croix in Christiansted Park A large relief map of Saint Croix in concrete, surrounded by water, with miniature buildings, windmills, light houses, etc., a duplicate of one in the Public Works Department, which was constructed by Superintendent Alfonso Paraliticci several years ago when he was engineer under the late H. M. Mc Kenzie, is now completed. The Parks and Playgrounds Commission have for the past few years requested that a similar map be placed in the Christiansted Park. The Museum Commission made a similar request. The work was finally accomplished by the Public Works, a capable artists from Richmond Prison, under the personal direction of Mr. Paraliticci. Approximately seven feet long by two feet wide, the map is made to scale. The Island is laid out correctly with respect to Latitude and Longitude and the markings are so indicated on the outside border edge of the enclosure. There is water completely surrounding the map and live fish have been placed therein. Surrounded by a white picket fence, the map is located at the East End of the Public Library building adjacent to the new Museum. The gate to this area will be opened to "CHAMPION OF PUBLIC RIGHT AND JUSTICE" SAINT CROIX, VIRGIN ISLANDS, U. S. A.

This meeting, originally scheduled for Friday night last, was postponed because of rain. Attorney Madsen, a native of St. Croix who left here when he was five years old, will speak on “Political and Civic Consciousness.” A large audience is expected to be on hand to hear tonight’s program in the marketplace. President Truman Ends Vacation Week Ahead of Schedule President Truman cut short his vacation and returned to Washington yesterday. He was met at the airport by Mrs. Truman and several members of his cabinet. The President is said to be anxious to take some action which would break the truce deadlock in Korea. Another matter that has caused the hurried return of the nation’s chief executive is the reported tax corruption. Attorney General Howard McGrath was among his cabinet members to meet him. He plans to see him later to discuss the Cecil Markoe returns to visit Homeland after 27 years. Cecil Markoe, a brother of absence of twenty-seven years, was accompanied by his wife, who was born on the visit his homeland after an absence of more than twenty-seven years. He was accompanied by his wife, who was born on the visit his mother and relatives, as well as to see old friends. So impressed is Mr. Markoe with his native land that he promises never to remain away for long periods again. The couple are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Markoe. Geo. Garvey, brother of Mrs. Vivienne Solomon, District Nurse. Mr. Garvey came in several days ago and has been visiting relatives and his many friends. He is the house guest of his sister. "There's Always Juliet," a comedy which was acclaimed by critics during its run on Broadway, New York, will be staged by the Virgin Islands Repertory Theatre under the auspices of the St. Croix Women’s League on Friday night, Dec. 14 at 8:30 with Norman Chelquist, professional actor from the mainland, who will be remembered for his performance in “Antigone” as Creon the King. Mr. Chelquist is organizer and director of the group. He has won universal acclaim in the Virgin Islands press for his presentations and was congratulated by Governor de Castro when he first presented “Antigone.” At that time the Governor stated: “... our guests from the mainland, who were in our company at the Center Theatre, expressed their appreciation of the high quality of the entertainment, and asked that they join me in these sentiments.” The League members regret the short period in which the play will be staged but the date of Friday, December 14, was the best time available, especially in view of the many activities for the Christmas holidays. Patrons will enjoy this play. The proceeds will be used to purchase gifts for the needy. Moravians to Give Repeat Variety Prog.
