DeSpatcblng Secretary mas SalQ lhlS is a
matter that comes before the Council
wear after year. Fuel oil has taken the
place OF coal and yOd have vine Tor sa-

End Member for Frederiksted Town
CBrO1U) Mr.. Chairman. when a similar
bill was placed before the Council some
time ago | was told that duty on fuel oil
is refunded because it takes the place of
coal used by the Sugar Factories, | see
that the Virgin Islands Products Corpora
ton is also asking for refund of duty
paid on fuel oil; | want to know whether
fuel oil is free to everybody
The Chairman: The Honorable End
Member for Frederiksted Town has
raised a pertinent issue which | believe
sooner or later we will have to face. Is
fuel oil free to every Oody or to a few;
that seems to be the question.
3rd Memb.r for Frederiks'ed Country
District lAuderSen): Mr.. Chairman, that
matter rests more or less will the view
point of the Government. After the
transfer we bought fuel oil AID we had
no refund for a while and when re
made request for a refund some redUc
ton was made Fuel oil has taken the
place of coal and b. getting fuel oil in as
cheap as possible we are able t. produce
sugar at a lower cost
The Chairman: Should the Power
Plant and the Soda Factories come up
and ask for refund on fuel oil imported
by them are they entitled to have it?
3rd Member for hristiansred Town
(Fabj0) Mr.. Chairman duty On fuel oil
was refunded because it was taken into
consideration that the Factories produc-
ing Q are paying export duty.
End Member for Christiansted Country
District OnckSon): Mr.. Chairman, that's
not a matter for this Council to decide;
in the absence of any legal i]nterpreta
ton fuel oil is free to everybody.
LIST Member for Frederiksted Town
(MerWjn): moved that lst discussion be
closed.
3rd Member for Christiansted Town
(FdbjO): Mr.. Chairman. before the m
ton is put | want to ask, there are other
places that are using fuel oil, do they pay
duty?
The Chairman: | suppose so.
Bird Member for Christiansted Town
(Fabio): And does the Council make a
refund to such people?
The Chairman: / presume only those
who apply for a refund.

introduced by Governmental.
Despatcning Secretary (FOrWeu): Mr..
Chairman, in view of the fact that the
Despatching Secretary has forwarded a
letter explaining the reason for forward
ing two drafts of budget to the Council
| consider that only a few remarks are
necessary. The original or larger bud
get was forwarded in anticipation Of the
usual appropriation, but information was
received that only S240. 900. 90 was appro-
priated, and therefore a smaller budget
was PREPARED. In the meantime His Elk
cellency, the Governor. made urgent re-
presentations by radio to the Senate
Naval Committee and he Navy Depart,
ment in Washington pointing. out the
disastrous effects of such a drastic re-
duction would have on the Virgin Islands
and urged an appropriation OF rtt fess
than $3.50. Geo co The Serate then re-
sloreu the larger amount. This neCessl'
t4ted the appointment of cOnferes by the
House and Senate to adjust The djtft rem
ces IN this and other items. They
failed to agree on either amount as
passed and compromised on $500. C00.OO
The Government feels that it would be
unwi5e to pass either budget as present
I'd and therefore wiDhdraws both of
them. A budget based on $3.50, 600 90
is being prepared and will be submitted
to the Municipal Committee in a day or
two. Upon receipt Of their report a.
extraordinary meeting of the Council
will he called TO consider the budget.

BE Careful Of
| Milk Supply
Pasteurized Product Is
Recommended.
By DIR. MORRIS ElSHBEIN
Editor journal OF the American
Medical Association and OF Hygeta,
the Health Magazine.

Human tuberculosis of the lungs
is almost always due to direct trans
mission Of the germs OF tuberculosis
from one person TO another.
In addition to the type OF tuber-
cuiar germ that infects man there
is a form especially associated with
the disease in cattle.
When this form reaches man
kind through milk it max set up in
fections which are serious, partlcu-
larry in children.
For instance. tuberculosis OF the
intestine seems to be due usually to
the bovine type of infection.
Some recent figures indicate that
3o.4 per cent OF infections in chill
dren under five years of age were
due to the bovine fern: 2S.9 per
cent of infections in children be-
tween five and sixteen years of age
are of this type, but only 20 per
cent of tuberculosis infections in
people more than 16 years of age
are credited to the bovine form.
1t is therefore of the greatest i'm
portance to eliminate for human
consumption, particularly from the
food of infants. milk coming from
COWS with tuberculosis. The first
step in this direction is to eliminate
from herds cows that are infected
with the disease and to present the
snread of the disease from one COW
to another.
The next step is 10 control the
milk in such a way that germs III
the milk will not be able TO attack
the human beings who consume 1t.
Pasteurization will bring about
such q result and it has been es-
tablished that there is always de-
finite decrease in the amount of tu-
bcrculosis due TO the bovine type OF
org lnism whenever pastcurization is
introduced. 1t is a safeguard to the
milk supply of any community.
Pastcurizatior OF milk will de-
troy the germs; at the same time,
however, it intcrferes TO some ex-
tent with the vitamin content.
Hence diet of pasteurized milk
must be supplemented by the ad-
dition of cod liver oil and of orange
juice.
The only safe raw milk for any
community is that which is certified
by a commission affiliated with the
Association of Medical Milk Com
missions.

Toys Children

In an excellent book Every Day
Problems of the Every Day Child"
DIR. Douglas Thorn devotes special

ought to use.
The best toys, he feels, arc balls

human being can begin by chewing

Washable Playthings
Through the period when the
child is inclined to put everything
in its mouth, Doctor Thorn recon-
nends washable dolls. rattles and
animals Of celluloid. wood. rubber
and stockinet.
The child may be placed inside
its play fence or upon a quilt placed
upon the floor; the toys distributed

Clubs Really
Are Important
Have Big Bearing on Edu-
cational Matters.

"Women's clubs are no longer
lust a method of self-improvement.
They now have an acknowledged
place not only in interpreting public
opinion, but moulding it,"
This is the opinion of Mrs. Charles
Z. Gregory, chairman Of the home
department OF the N. Y. Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs. and the
originator Of the household arts
competition in the annual EXPOSE
ton of Womcn's Arts and Industries.
THE biggest thing before wom-
ems clubs today" Mrs. Gregory
said. "is the education Of women
for the new idea Of homekeeper.
This includes family life and the
physical and spiritual welfare of the
| family.
AS buyers OF everything for the
family, women need financial knowl-
| edge of homes and all that goes
into them. Insurance, the COM
| narrative cost of rent and owner
ship, the comparative value OF diff
ferent makes Of washing machines.
refrigeration systems and so on. the
nutritive value of foods. and many
other concrete things are essential.
Clubs are taking up these tasks
of instruction. Through clubs and
affiIiation with schools such knowl-
edge is offered women. To illustrate
this, one club is building a house
and furnishing it completely taking
up comparative costs Of everything
so women participating will be pre-
pared to oversee the building Of
their own homes.
ut is no wonder women's clubs
now are a recognized factor o
civic power. They are the practica
training ground for efficient, moderr
home makers and civic leaders"
