Gereau for ANP)—^A very im posing gathering^ greeted Judge Wm: H. Hastiei as he descended from the deck of the Bull Insu lar liiner Catherine here this week. The gathering on th« West Indian Company’s docks included Governor and Mrs. l^wrence W.

Governor,” replied Judge Kastie. I The~appointeinent by President i'Roesevelt of Judge Hastie to head the Virgin Islands Judiciary is a precedent of great social significance to ttei inhabitant*! of the -Virgin Islands. A Negro has nevef before occupied the offico. It was stated here that as ninety- two per cent of the population Negroes-, or of Negro descent, the appointment holds up to the youth a great prouiise of reward for merit. Judge Hkstie has already favo rably mipressed many of the lead ing citizWs. As he quietly as sumed onice a few persons who were opposed to his confirmation by the Senate were ready to ad mit that they had never been ap-. posed to Judge Hastie personally^ wmKaauB ir—ra CHARLES STORES CO Charles Reviews the Glamorous lit* Oar Coaveaieat lay>Awor naal Jigger Coats top "norldiM^ m An SUITS AelrO Sices 14 to 20 • Washable 2.Keee iiaec* DRESS That ^ooiis • AO Like a 1.70 Sizes 14 to 20 in tiiaf come off, feaMsre these CREPK DRESSES Sizes 14 to 20 3.98 White Suits and Dresses for Early Sununer!

Governor and Mrs. ^pramer have invited more than two hun dred of the island's leading citi zens to a reception on Thursday in order that they mfty have an opportunity of formally meeting the new Judge. Judge Hasite ac- cupies a suite at the Grand Hotel here. When Mrs. Hastie joins him in a few weeks they will go into hfouse keeping for themselves. Judge Hastie’s JudiciiU district comprises St Thomas, St. John and St. Croix with a population iQ. excess of twenty-six thousandp. Interest in Judge Hastie is keen locally. In its editorial com ment today the St. Thomaa Dailv News said, among other things: ‘‘Judge Hastie will fee watchel with jealous eyes by those of his own people who make capital of' every occasion; and^e will be k««nly scrutinized ty ihs rulers of the United .States as h® writes history in' the District tSourt.

The balhnce of prospeetiva claims in North Carolina for thla > year will be filed through other field offices' which filU be opened in the future. Up toAprii 9 only 11 claims had bfen ^iled with *he Social Security Board fVom Nortft Carolina. 'Additional claima are in the procesa of being filed, and it is possible that, the number of claima will be Inereaaed rapidly as the y^ar progresses. To qualify for a monthly bene> fit a wage earner -must be at least 65 years old, his totaf wages from covered employment after 1936 and before age 66 murt b« 12,000 or more, and he must hav« reoelved wages after 19S9 in covered employment'for work on at least 1 day in each sf 5 calendar years before reaching age 66. Only wages up to |S,000 a y^ar from any one ajgaployer are counted as total wa4i^s. Mon thly benefits are not payaljl^e un til 1942. Meantime, the SociaT Security Board’s regional and field offices are now prepared to asaist work* ers who have reached age 66 to file their claima for lump-sunt payments, which are payable now to those who qualify. These pay ments amount to 3 1-2 percent of the total wages received^ in covers ed employment after 1936. Hundreds of such claims, nmg>> from a few dollars to fIDS, have already been filed with the Board The Bureau of Federal Old-Age Benefits estimates that approxi mately 323,6€4 persons or their estates win be eligible In 19S7 for lump-sum or death payment*. Claims will be filed during thtii year either by workers who have reached a^ 65 or by the familiea of woricers who die during the SFear^rr " high principles of social justice _ nt/ty have enemies but he cannot despise himself.’* Ct^lege tilves Land For New Sdibol - Negro youngsters in the vici nity of Knoxville College at Knoxville, Tenn., will hav» the privilege of attending one of the largest and finest junior high schools^in - the city whien the doors of the Mechanicsville Junior Hig^ School are j^open%d for- its first classes next Sept. The new school is situiited on College street, one block nortn of the main campus of Knoxville College, on ground which was formerly a part of tRe^ college campus. The board of Trustees of the^ coUe^ donated two aeres. of land to the city for this btrild- ing. Added acreage for athletic fieU and playground is available and in All probability the city will purchjase more ^ound by way of enlarging th« school site. ^ As one of several new build ings in the city’s school program this new junior highi was built to relieve congestion at Austin, the local high sdhool. Built at a «ost of $141,0OO7^the new school is modern and complete in every i«8pect It was erected as a Wl'A project. Heading the faculty at the new school is Professor C. W. C&nsler who l^ to his credit more than E'5 years of , service in theTI^'Ischooiriis'teacSHr^ principal. Mr. Cansler, aow prin cipal at .Green School, took his undergraduate work at KnoxvUla (^ollege. The new junior will pro vide splendid opportunities for observation and practice teach ing tot for college students who are preparing for the teaching profession. h\ • Work on the unpaved section of College street which runs past the new school has already bMit started by the city and will be complted this sqmmer.
