A revision in Veterans Admin
stration eligibility requirements for
medical and dental treatment and
disqualification will become effect
i've January |.
After December 81, out-patient
medical and dental treatment or
disqualification will not be available
to veterans merely on the presump-
ton that their disabilities are serv-
ice e-connected, based on prima facie
evidence. Applications for such
treatment or disqualification will
have to be formally adjudicated as
service-connected before treatment
other than emergency can be given.
The regulation permitting vet
erans to enter hospitals or receive
out-patient medical and dental
treatment on the basis of presumed
service connected disabilities has
been in effect since President Tru-
man decreed the end of hostilities a
year ago. VA said this has been suf-
ficient time for veterans to establish
whether or not their disabilities are
service-connected
The discontinuance of determina-
ton on prifna facie evidence in no
way denies veterans any rights they
are granted by law, nor does it
limit services given those whose
conditions are rated as service-con-
nected. VA emphasized

Analysis of G.. l. home loan fig

A current monthly average of

At this time when the
schools of our Island have re-
opened once again we would
like to present the modern
concept of the schools role in
health.
1t is agreed upon by educa-
tors, whether or not they use
these specific terms, that the
aim of education is to meet
fundamental human needs, to
help the individual to func-
ton intelligently and purpose
fully as an Individual and as
a member of the social group.
This Individual is a many
sided organism and functions
as such. The school, as the
agency set up by the social
group to guide the individual
in his efforts to function intel
ligently and purpoSefully,
must be, concerned with all
those aspects of the Individual
which enter into the total
educative process. (Kilpatrick)
These aspects include his ply
steal, mental and emotional,
health, and must be consider
ed as fundamental factors in
the establishment of an ade-
quate school health program.
The school which would pay
more than lip service to the
modern concept of education
will include in its health pro-
gram certain areas of respon-
isbility:
!. It will make provisions
for a hea1thful environment,
which will include satisfac-
tory standards of sanitation
and safety, as well as planning
and carrying out the school
day so that the health of the
child is not hampered, but is
protected and promoted. The
health of the teachers them
selves must be considered as
we'll as the use of teaching
methods which are effective
without causing worry or fear.
2. It will promote adequate
services for improving the
health of the individual child.

POOR YARD

Outside of a little painting

Improvement in the yard. The
thirty-two rooms continued to
be occupied and the occu-
pants seem to prefer living
there than to move to Kings
Hill Home. Until the present
time it has been impossible to
install flush toilets and cleo
trio lights. This should be
done this year. Just why this
institution has not caught fire
and possibly burned to death
some of the inmates remains a
mystery. With half-blind, Sc
nile people trembling with Ian
terms anything is possible. Eff
forts through the Welfare
Board to correct these poor
housing conditions will be
made in the near future.

HOUSING

There was little housing
construction for people in the
low income brackets. Most of
the construction was for new
corners, who were usually
well-off and in a position to
build nice and comfortable
homes. Houses were hard to
rent in Christiansted but many
were vacant in Frederiksted.

can be stated that there. is
much interest on the part of
most of the members in the
overall program of welfare
services being offered by the
department.
EMPL
There was widespread I'M
employment throughout the
Island during the year. The
sewer project failed to furnish
much employment as did the
rum industry, AS has been the
case for many years, the Vir-
gin Islands Company contin-
ued to be the main source of
employment. Without this
there would be chaos.
A number of young people,
especially girls, left for the.
mainland to do domestic work.
This office personally refer
red many girls to the Army
Base at Borinquen Field
Ramey). The average pay
their amounted to $1,000 a.
month with free room and
meals, etc. This is consider
ably more than is paid locally.
Some girls left for the main
land through employment
agencies. Their average pay
was $4,000 a month with free
room and meals.

lans. But since the 18th century
days Of Milton human society has
turned an increasingly cold cheek
to the spiritual values preached by
every great Christian since Paul.
Particularly since the outset Of
the goth century mans attention
has been claimed more and more
by the dramatic power of mate
rialism which has been brought
into full play as a result of this
chronological economy with its as
sembly lines, power politics and
repetitive wars.
Thus, the problem now is not so
much how to justify Gods ways to
man as it is how to justify mans
society in the eyes of God. And if,
as many churchmen believe, no such
justification is possible. then how to
work a reasonable and beneficial
change in the society which men
nave wrought.
1t is that problem which the
World Council of Churches, COM
posed Of l48 Protestant and Ortho-
dox churches from 40 nations, will
endeavor to meet squarely at its
first world assembly in Amsterdam
August % to September 4.
Four hundred and fifty church
leaders - laymen and clergymen
alike - are determined, among
other things, Ito assess the
strengths and weaknesses Of pres
ent-day Christendom" and ito de-
fine a basis of common principle
upon which Christians can CO.
operate for world order"
Under the conference theme,
Mans Disorder and Gods De-
sign" the delegates will attack
such questions as: How to infuse
more spirituality into our mechan-
lied society without advocating the
destruction of all mechanization?
What action can the church take
among it's members to aid in eS-
tabishment of world order and
what is the church's answer to the
amoral power politics of the pres
ent day?
If these are tough questions. the
World Council of Churches is likely
to prove itself spiritually tough and
realistic enough to 60 long way to-
ward providing some of the ans
