Arlene was most anxious to show us the sights but regretfully we were leaving the following day. Here in New York are many prominent citizens who were born in Trinidad and who have scaled the heights making worthy con­ tributions to our country and so­ ciety.

The population is approximately 8,000,000, one half African descent, one third East Indian with the rest being a mix­ ture of Chinese, French, Dutch, Spanish and English. Our first visit to Trinidad was four years ago (upon our return from South America) and it was most gratifying to observe the marked advancement in living standards and educational attain­ ments. It has been only in the last three years that one could obtain xpod- ern hotel conveniences (with the exception of the Pan American Guest House). We found that this has been remedied for there are several newly built hotels, and just recently the Hilton Interna­ tional Corporation completed the $12,000,000 Trinidad Hilton, an ac­ commodation completely staffed with natives, comparable to the luxurious hotels anywhere in the world. Growth There has been a healthy growth In Industry, factories and investments, Trinidad is also de­ veloping a large tourist trade. There are huge sugar, banana and cocoa plantations. The soil is also rich, producing in abundance many tropical fruits and prod uce. Trinidad is the third largest producer of oil in the British Commonwealth and boasts of the world’s largest sugar factory. Many streets in the world are paved with the asphalt of Trini­ dad’s extraordinary “Pitch Lake’ (almost 300 feet in depth and 114 acres in area) making it an excel lent sdurce of revenue, to, one White Label DEWAR'S “I am honored to he the first Negro woman Commissioner and I am determined to do a con­ scientious job In this most vitally- important work in the field of human rights and human digni­ ty," Mrs. Buchanan told the Am­ sterdam News after the Gover­ nor’s announcement. “IF YOU EVER GO DOWN TRINIDAD!”A typical carnival scene in Trinidad.

The pontinued delay In aelect- ing an interim candidate to fill out the rest of the year in the Council post was seen as a de­ finite tipoff of a major com­ munitywide fight for district leaderships in the Harlem area this year in the Sept 5th primary. Prior to Tuesday’s meeting Jones had received the backing of Rep. Adam Powell who had announced at a meeting of the Harlem district leaders Sunday that he was 100 per cent behind Jones’ candidacy for the Council. Dickens has maintained that the candidate should come from the 11th A.D., contending that Jones’ Carver Democratic Club already has the State Senator in Sen. James L.
