November 8— (CNS)—Dry officials in the Virgin Islands are expected to soon take their departure from their island posts with thp prospective end of national prohibition and the resump tion of run making in the near fu ture. Comment in a recent issue of The Bulletin of St. Thomas, says: “With ° the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment confidently expected on Dec ember 6, it is also expected that all persons who have come into public positions in consequence of their sym pathy with prohibition will now feel bound to resign. “It must be expected that their conscience will not permit them to remain in office and assist the ad ministration in its efforts to facili tate the dealings in liquor; nor should the administration be handi capped by unwilling workers or peo ple whose conscience prohibits them to give full and free assistance when the administration changes policy." Prohibition was a stiff blow to the rum industry cn many islands, and particularly on the Virgin Islands group which came under the Amer ican flag almost simultaneously with the banishing of the liquor traffic. St. Croix rum had for a century been one of the riiost famous brands. Ritz Theatre Every Q Friday and Saturday Now 15 c
