THE THIRTEENTH LEGIs-
LATIVE ASSEMBLY or
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS OF
THE UNITED STATES
ls4s Session
Censuring the Actions of
Harry E. Taylor Admins
traitor for ST. Croix.
1913 Session

For several
years the People of st. Croix
have had the occasion to re-
sent the undemocratic attitude
and actions of Harry E. Tay-
lor Administrator for st. Croix
and,
WHEREAS, Any one who,
in the exercise of his demo-
cratic rights, disagrees with
the policies Of government in
the island of st. Croix is sig
nailed out for economic re-
prisals. A case in point is a
young man who was told by
Mr.. Taylor that he would see
him starve which resulted in
this citizen leaving the Island
for the United States; and,
WHEREAS, Mr.. Taylor has
been against any Federal
agency in St. Cfoix paying
higher wages than is paid by
the local Administration; and,
WHEREAS, Mr. Taylor has
told continental visitors to St.
.Croix that determination with
natives is not to the best in
terest of the community; and,
Mr.. Tay1or's in
reference with the plans for
a Potable Water Supply Sys-
tenn in St. Croix caused the
unnecessary suspension of this
Project; and,
His recent dis
agreement with the Municipal.
Council of st. Croix in connec-
ton with the Presidents visit
to that island almost partici-
pated a break in relations be-
tween the Legislative Branch
of Government and the Ad-
ministrative Branch; and,
WHEREAS, The People of
st. Croix are unable to ex-
press their free feelings in this
matter through economic fear
and have beseeched their rep
resentatives to take some ac-
ton against Harry E. Taylor
as Administrator for st. Croix:

So important are accessories In
the costume complete that belts now
take their place with scarves, jewelry
and neckwear as transformers.
You can do wonders with a belt
wardrobe-changing your belt to
vary your dress to 60 with different
accessories, or this year, even chang
ing the whole line of your dress by
means of one or more belts.
Multiple belts. two to five narrow
ones that either match or are In
different colors, can give the new
empire waistline to dress that nevel
thought of having one before. There
are little buckled belts or "tie.
ways" those little leather thongs
with arrow points for ends. We sug.
gest you not only use them about
your waist. but tie them twice
around your throat for a colorfu
choker, or wrap one around your
wrist for q most unusual bracelet
The little buckled belts may be
crossed, twisted, plated or worn wei
separated, according to the waist
line of your dress.
The contour belt used to lower
your waistline in the back is not
new, but that same belt can be worn
with the curve sweeping up in front
to give you the new empire line
Some belts are made with q nice
curved section in contrasting
leather. and there will be one for
spring that comes with two or three
sections in different colors, to button
on according to your costume.
For dressing up basic dress after
5, there is a clever velvet belt with
little bag, reticule size, swung from

the belt, and there is also black
velvet belt with removable covered
buckle and two extra buckles, one
of metal and one studded with
rhinestones. OF course, there are
numerous .jeweled belts, many OF
which you can team to your jewelry
or which will harmonic with what
ever jewelry you're wearing.
The possibilities are limitless II
you start trying new ideas--yousu
discover that q belt Is as versatile
as Q scarf any day, and usually much
more necessary.

Teen Topics
By Sally

Flowers are nice, but not always
necessary.
No, son, you needn't buy q bouquet
for every party of the holiday season
but it's smart, it's smooth, it's nice
to give your date flowers for a spe-
cial, big, bang-up affair. Both you
and she will be embarrassed II she s
the only gal sans corsage.
Dance corsages needn't be large
and elaborate. In fact, they shouldn I
be! A huge spray is funereal, not
festive. And expensive blossoms
orchids, for instance-are show-offy
and unsuitable.
An arrangement Of one or two
gardenias or camellias is always a
safe choice. Some girls like little
formal nosegays of mixed flowers to
wear on their wrists or to carry in
their hands.
The important thing is to make
sure your floral offering matches
your dates dress. Don't be bashful
about asking the gal what color she s
wearing.
Strictly speaking, a corsage should
be delivered by the florist the after
noon of the party. But there's no
harm in toting the offering along.
The gal should open the flower
box when it is presented and say
Thank you" enthusiastically. Wear
or carry the flowers to the dance,
honey, minus the container. They
may be pinned to your coat en- route.
But never, never leave 'em in the
cloakroom to wither and die. That's
mean!

ForesterS Battle
15O-Acre Blaze

Just as the dangers Of the spring
forest fire season were about to end.
a forest fire ON Savage Mountain
the Savage River dam, burned over
about $50 acres before being brought
under control, according to District
Forester William A. Pan.
The blaze started about l:15 p. m.
Sunday and was not brought under
control until Monday night. It was in
an area that is extremely rocky and
made up mostly Of steep mountain
slopes where the growth is about so
percent brush and about 50 percent
medium-sized timber
Forestry men from both Garrett
and Allegany counties worked on the
fire for around @G hours.
The blaze was Of undetermined but
possible incendiary origin, and was
difficult to fight because Of the
rugged nature of the area. 1t was i'm
possible to get tractors, pumps or
other forest fire fighting equipment
into the area and men working the
blaze walked two miles through the
woods to reach it from the nearest
passablc road.
Among the forest fighting crew
were boys from Bruce High school,
Westelnport. Nyrl Wilt, forest super
visor, this county. and Brook Bodkin,
forest supervisor in Allegny county,
were in charge Of operations.
The same area was burned over in
1880. forestry men recalled.
Two more woodland fires We're re-
ported. About an acre was burned on
Savage mountain Tuesday near the
other big fire but was quickly brought
under control. At Vindex a quartz.
acre was burned over when sparks
from locomotive ignited brush.
There was no damage.

Determined Pigeon

A YORKSHIREMAN kept homing
Apigeons and boosted that one of
them could find its way home from
anywhere.
A friend bet him 20 pounds that
the bird could not lily back from
London. The bet was taken and the
pigeon was sent to Kings Cross sta
ton to be let loose, but the man
making the bet artfully arranged for
the birds wings 20 be clipped be
fore it was liberated.
At the end of week it had not
returned.
"You watt" said the owner, con-
fidently, he'll be back all rect.
At the end of two weeks the friend
claimed that he had won the bet.
Hell come home from any
where" insisted the owner.
After three weeks the friend went
round to claim the 20 pounds.

TRAINING PLANS
FOR SELECTEES

Coincidental with the enactment
into law of Selective Service au-
thorizing the expansion of the
Army to $4,000 plus 10000 eigh-
teen-year old one-year volunteers,
General Jacob L. Devers, Chief,
Army Field Forces, has announced
that training plans for new troops
have been completed.
He emphasized the fact that no
special training program for Sc
lectees under the expansion of the
Army is contemplated and that the
new men will be trained with regu-
lar army units under training
policies and procedures that have
been developed and improved since
the end of World War III.
General Devers stated that an
eight weeks basic training program
would be employed initially to bring
new and old Army units up to au-
thorized strength as rapidly as
practicable. The length of basic
training probably would be in
creased to thirteen weeks after
units had been filled. After com
pletion of basic training the ma
jority of the soldiers trained in
training centers will join units in
the United States or overseas for
advanced individual and unit train
ing. Some will be selected at the
training centers to attend technical
schools for training in military
specialties. No 18-year-old volun-
teers will be sent overseas. |
General Devers also said that
many Of the training principles
and methods which proved so sue
cessful at the Universal Military
Training Experimental Unit at
Fort Knox would be used in the
training of men under the eXpan-
sion Of the Army program.
He said that training procedures
developed at Fort Knox have shown
that the employment of the stu
dent instructor relationship in
training in lieu of driving methods
EMPLOYED by "hard-boiled" nom
CONS have resulted in the promo
tion Of individual initiative and
resourcefulness, resulting in bet
ter trained soldier. This, coupled
with emphasis on physical develop
ment, participation In athletics,
educational opportunities and the
granting of the maximum amount
of personal liberty consistent with
proper performance of duty, pro-
duces good citizen as well as
good soldier.
General Devers added that ex-
pansion of the Army cannot be
effected Immediately but it will be
realized as rapidly as possible con-
sistent with the utmost efficiency
and economy. Some units will be
organized Immediately and others
will be organized on an expansion
schedule, with July l, 1949, as a
target date for completion. The
Army now operates four training
centers where training divisions are
located. These are: Fort Ord, Cali
fornia; Fort Jackson, South Caro-
lima; Fort Dix, New Jersey. and
Fort Knox, Kentucky. New cen
tiers will be established at Fort
Riley, Kansas; Camp Chaffee, Ar
kansas; Camp Breckenridge, Ken
lucky, and Camp Pickett. Virginia.

Rainy Weather

A drunk staggered home and made
his way subconsciously through the
house, winding up in the stall shower
of his bathroom. AS he CROPPED
about, he turned on the water, del
uging himself plenty and making
a racket which brought the Little
Woman to the scene.
Taking in the details, she called
him all kinds of names winding up
with none too flattering estimate
of his past, present and future.
''That's right, honey" admitted
the shuddering sot. 'I'm everything
you said-and worse. But let me
in, won't you?-it's raining some
thing awful out here"
