SPARK PLUGS
bY Carl A. Worsham

These sparks are intended to
start a flame Of thoughts in the
minds of parents and youngsters
of the West Side. Years ago a
small fire was started by Levi
Nelson, we'll konwn among West
siders for his social work with
young people. His fire is still
burning but more fuel is needed.
| am asking for the help Of all
parents in aiding this fuel short
age. You can do this by interest
ing your child in the Nelson
Neighborhood Safety Club, of
which Mr.. Levi Nelson is found
er and president. This is an or
ganization established to elevate
the recreation and social education
for young people
Parents who are. interested in
the welfare of their children,
should encourage them to join
such a club. The many activities
offered also keeps the minds Of
young people busy. And gives
them the feeling they are really
getting the most out Of life. 1t
helps reduce delinquency through
a social program. YoYu young
people who like lectures, singing
group clubs, physical education
and other social and recreationa
activities, here is your chance.

support good schools, whereas
Mississippi, with more children to
educate, has less taxable resourc-
and girls" said the speaker. "At
the same time Mississippi is ex-
pected, and must, share its part of
the National burden in the time of
war and in the time Of peace.
las a result, when war comes,
Mississippi and many other states,
some Of these in regions outside
Of the South, are unable, because
Of low educational standards, to
supply their fair share Of military
manpoWer. Thus, we have, as
was the case in the last war,
twelve Of the more wealthy states
having to exceed their manpower
quotes, because twelve so-called
poor states were unable to meet
their quotOS.
There is a way out. The NEA
and many national organizations
feel that federal assistance to the
needy states and school districts
would aid these political entities
to improve their public grade and
high school programs. Such 1egis-
lative proposals are currently be-
fore the Congress and should be
acted upon once the Congress is
back in session." stressed Mr..
Hendrix.
Mr.. Hendrix outlined the pro-
VISIONS of S 246 federal aid to
education bill passed by the SEN
ate on May 5, 1o49, and urged his
laudience to instruct the House of
Representatives to pass this piece
OF legislation when the second
session Of the 81st Congress opens.
The ETA went on record in sup
port OF federal aid to education.

despite the significant role of
teachers in the life Of our great
nation" noted the speaker, 'our
teachers are too seldom and too
little appreciated for their impor-
tant .1abors, In many instances
these men and women go un-
/ heralded and woefully unrewardeC
/ for their services.
"Yet, we, the American public
continue to entrust our natoina
growth and our national Securit,
to them. Important is the fact
however, that these public ser
wants have not falted and the,
will not falter, for they know tina
I the children Of the nation are on
most precious national resources.
Mr.. Hendrix took the occasion
to compliment the city of Knox

prise the Lesson-Sermon, the fol
lowing are from the Bible:
"Then cometh Jesus from Galilee
to Jordan unto John, to be bap-
tized of him :. And Jesus, when

straightway out of the water, 10,
the heavens were opened unto
him, and he saw the Spirit Of

make long prayers, and yet be
sensual and sinful Self
torgetfulress, purity, and affec-

The baptism Of Spirit, washing
the body of all the impurities Of

as the proponents are sitting in Coun-
Gil and will know how the status of
the finances of the Municipality
stands. am not arguing against any
of the Resolutions, but l want to say
it is the privilege of any member of
Council to 60 into the Finance Office
and get any information he needs. A
financial statement is furnished the
Municipal Committee every month,
just a few weeks ago a statement was
received in the Council Office concern
ing the finances Of this Municipality.
1t this resolution is passed it would
necessitate Council passing a resolu-
ton every time a member of Council
wants to know the financial status of
this Municipality. If any member de-
sires to have a copy of the financial
status of the Municipality that could
be gotten from the Finance Office. I
know a resolution is not necessary be-
cause for the two years l have been
in Council / have requested and have
gotten whatever financial statement
I need.
1st Member for Ch~ristiansted Town
(Jacobs): MI. Chairman. It is known
by all that two-thirds Of the members
Of this Council are new members. l
think it is wise that we should have
a complete report of the financial sta
tus OF the Municipality before we pro-
coed to pass bills.
End Member for Frederiksted Coun-
try District (Hodge): Mr.. Chairman.
Before the meeting started / request
ed from the Finance Office a financial
statement o the funds Of the Munich
pality to date and that is being pre-
pared and each member will receive
a copy.
1st Member for Christiansted Coun-
try District Chase: Mr.. Chairman.
| would like to know if members can
be furnished with a copy of the cur
rent budget.

what the End Member for Frederik-

understand him to say that there will
be furnished to members a statement

not be in a position to spend money
without knowing if we have funds,
how much, and where we can get
them from.

said that copies Of the Budget for the
Municipality of st. Croix for the fis-
cal year 1940-1949, passed by this
Council an June 80, 1913 will be fur
nished to every member of this Coun-
ell today. The immigration Fund and
the Disaster Fund are not in the Bud

desired that could be gotten from the
Finance Office.

(Forbes): l understand the End Mem

trict very well but he doesn't under
stand me. What / am saying is that
the Budget does not show the bal
ances of the various funds we have
in the Treasury. What we want to
know is how the Municipality stands
in regard to finance; what every new
member would like to know is the
balances that are in the various funds.
We cannot proceed intelligently un-
til we know the amount of money we
have. in the Treasury, whatever it
may be, we want to know.
End Member for Frederiksted Coun-
try District Hodge): Mr.. Chairman.
1t seems as if the member did not get
me when | first spoke. 1 said a pre-
pared statement by which the Com
missioner shows the collections and
expenditures is presented to the Com
mittee every month";; for instance, if
under the Medical Department you
have 100000 as estimated expend-
itures, you will get a complete picture
OF what is spent; therefore 1 say a re-
solution requesting that is not neces-
