LIST Member for Christiansted Town
(CGnegGta): Mr. Chairman. Before pro-
ceeding 10 the order of day may request
that the petition recaived concerning the
game law be read. My reason for max
ing the request is because think it is an
important matter and should engage the
attention of the Council. have certain
thoughts which think should be eincor
porated in an ordinance ask that the
petition be read to the Council today.
A vote was taken as to whether the
petition should be read with the result
that Ii members voted for; noae against.
Accordingly the Assistant Secretary
read the petition.
LIST Member for Christianstad Town
(Canegat1): Mr.. Chairman. My reason
for asking that the petition be read is be-
cause am fully in favor Of the idea con-
tanned in it There seems to be no en-
forcemen of thep:. sent law. 1t has been
brought tony notice that more deer have
probably beenshot during the closed sea-
son than during the open season. also
understand that most Of the shooting of
deer takes place in the night by means
of flashlight. The hunting of deer in
this island should be prohibited during
night time and the practice of using
flashlights should be stopped. and the
law could be enforced if we have private
constabes in the differenet quarters and
towns. These constables need not be paid
officers. they could be given $1,000 for
every conviction. Those are. in brief, an
outline of what have in mind.
End Member for Frederiksted Town
(BroW): Mr. Chairman. While | agree
with most of what the last speaker has
said | want to point out that shooting at
night is only contributory. the disappear
ance of deer in this Island is caused by
wild dogs. We We increased the tax on
dogs 10 the country and instead of giving
away the pups the people are letting
them run wild We had hundreds of wild
goats in the island and the wild dogs have
eaten them all up. If we could find means
of getting rid of the wild dogs we would
be able to preserve the life of deer.
1st Member for Frsderiksted Country
Dstrlct (Cldrke): Mr. Chairman. AS we
cannot easily get rid of the wild dogs we
can stop the hunting at nights. The hon.
orabe 1st Member for Christiansted
Town has given US some very good ideas
with respect to this matter. Not long az
left the Council at ten o'clock at ghc
ard while in bed heard two shots tired
near my house. took my car ran down
the avenue without lights and got the PC
lice and we caUg ht two boys who had shot
two deer and we took them to the police
station. The night shooting has much to
do with the disappearance of deer in this

The Chairman: Someone should mike
motion that a committee be appointed

matter
3rd Appointed Member (Pentheny):
Mr. Chairman. If the sale of venison is
prohibited that would put an end to the
reckless shooting of deer
20d Member for Christian ted Country
District (FrGncis): Mr.. Chairman. While
| personally will assist lie voting for
committee to make recommendation on
this matter | wish to ask members of
Council who may be appointed to bear
in mind what happened 10 this Council
some years ago. Recommendation was
made by a committee that deer meat
should not be sold and that prevented the
passage of the bill.

Mr. Chairman. 1t is my opinion that we

ing on peoples property and shooting

Ord Apo nted Member (Pentbeney):
Mr.. Chairman. If you make it.unlawful

PARK TRAMMELL.
We publish your answer, Senator, with
pleasure-you can't imagine HON much
pleasure-you can't imagine how much
by regret that you did not explain in great
er detail but maybe that is because we note
the telegram was not marked govern
ment'' and when Uncle Sam isn't paying
for the wire thrifty senator can't go into
these matters as fully as he might if he
were getting it printed free in the Congress
sional Record. The next time you have
one as good as that you can spread your
self and send it collect. We wish you had
know more about the 'base and false i'm
preston you seem to think we attempted to
create.
What impression, Senator, can you
mean? Surely, there is nothing base
about having visitors to your office regis
ter. Don't most senators and congressman
do it so that if they happen to miss their
callers they can write them letters and
send them campaign literature? If you
don't do that it is an error to report that
you do, but it seems to us to be good deal
short of "a contemplate, dirty falsehood. .
AS matter of fact, it's the truth, and you
know it, that in your absence your secre-
taries ask visitors from Florida to leave
their names. Perfectly all right, too, and
nothing at all to get hot under the collar
about.
So if it wasn't the registering business
that got under your senatorial skin and
sent you bristling into print, it must have
been the last half of the crack about your
office being like any other rooming house.
Really, Senator, you're not going to pass up
national magazines, all the big papers with
Washington correspondents and those in
your state and elsewhere which run Wash
ington Merry-Go-Round, the National
Whirligig and other columns like that, just
to jump on little old country daily way
down here in Florida for abiding to the
story that you use your office as a bed
room? That was repeated in the Tampa
Tribune only few days ago and day or

If you don't like it. why don't you send
them a telegram? Ed Lambright and
Martin Andersen would give you more pub
licity than we can. And how!
However, We'll do our bit, and gladly,
if you'll just be a little more specific on
those base and false" impressions you
mention. Do you want to deny that yisi-
tors are asked to leave their names at your
office when they come to see you and find
you out? And as for that oft told tale
that you sleep in your office, do you want
us to tell the world that Trammell doesn't
live there any more. If so, o. k. But
why pick on us with this high dudgeon?
The other day was the first time we ever
said anything about it and practically every
paper in the country had long ago scooped
US on that peek through your keyhole. Sus-
ceptible as we are to flattery we can't be-
lieve the News-Press is the only newspaper
you read So come down off your high
horse, Senator, and tell us what this sudden
umbrage is all about

Alone
By MARTHA WINsLOW

A brother and sister, John,
3, and Mary, II months, are
driving their mother, Mrs. j.
3. S." distracted by their
apparent inability to get along.
John, she writes me, is
"cruel" to the baby. He seems
to delight in pushing her over
and has even been known to
hurl his train at her. Mary
is eternally in tears and Jonn
in disgrace unless they are
kept apart.
Analysing MRS. j. B. SIS"
problem we must first delve
into Johns mind and discover
why he pushes Mary over and
why he regards her in the light
of a target for his missiles.
Individualistic,
In the first place true CO.
operative play is seldom found
at the toddling age. The two
three-year-old is never willing
to make concessions. He is
entirely individualistic. What
is his he wants to keep and
those things that are another's
he wants, also.
The immediate result is un.
pleasantly anti-social. Substitu-
tion of a similar toy may meet
the situation or it may be
made an opportunity of teach"
ing learn to share" The
child may be taught that it
is fun" to see another playing
with a toy.
Others Nearby
But in the early years the ma
jority of children will prefer
playing alone, sociability con-
sisting chiefly in having other
children nearby, also playing
alone.
The pushing and train-tos
ing of Johns is a vague ges-
ture toward sociability. John
wishes to make some contact
with the other child. The push
over is the method that occurs
to him. He does not realize
that it will be painful to Mary.
He knows, of course, that bumps
hurt but he does not directly
connect Mary's bumps with
those he has suffered.
Punishment will not help the
situation. 1t will, as a matter
of fact, only complicate matters.
John has made a gesture of
friendliness and been rebuffed.
The reaction will be resentment
against the other child or an
