We pay real and personal property
taxes, inheritance taxes. luxury
taxes, the Federal income taxes,
and many others. But the total
funds raised are grossly made
quate to support essential govern
ment services. We do not get back
the U. S. internal revenue taxes
paid on our rum exports, as does
Puerto Rico.
(3) In our 1850 budget, the Vir-
gin Islands devoted to health, edu-
cation and welfare services 56.4%
of their total expenditures. This is
approximately the same percent
age of government income in con-
tinental United States devoted to
these same services.
~ Citizens of the Virgin Islands
distressed by the inadequacy of
our public assistance and health
and welfare services, have added
their volunteer efforts to improve
the picture. The Community Chest
alone has raised $50, 900 in the past
10 years, which has gone into old
age grants, aid to children, nurs-
ing services, housekeeping aid to
feeble aged clients, X-ray treat
ment in Puerto Rico for our can

small southern cities of the United
States, while in ST. Croix it is less
than one fifth. Under these ad-
verse conditions, saving for old
age are well-nigh impossible.
Many of the aged are totally des-
titute and helpless, and without
relatives to care for them either
physically or financially. The 1910
census showed a total of 1774 per
sons in the Islands IS years and
over. Our Department is now Civ
ing regular public assistance to
$40 needy persons in this age
group. Adding the 100 persons in
our institutions, we are caring for
730 aged persons, or -41% of the
total. In the United States, appro-
ximately $3.50 of this age group
received assistance in 1914, butt /3
OF these received their aid through
pension system, leaving only 1870
receiving public assistance and in
stitutional care. In the Islands,
partly because of our poor general
economy and particularly because
Of lack of the social insurance,
nearly twice as many aged are de-
pendent upon public assistance as
in the United States.
(2) The same poor economy that
creates a great need for public
assistance and health and welfare
services make it doubly' difficult
for the Islands government to
raise the funds needed therefor.

A good food store must be
a clean store.
We believe our customers
are entitled to top quality
food at low prices, served in
clean, healthful surroundings.
That's why we train and
instruct our employees to
keep all trays and cases and
scales scrubbed and sanitary;
to keep refuse and packing
cases out of the aisles and
off the sidewalks; and to keep
floors and grocery racks clean
and orderly.
Sometimes during rush
periods it's hard to keep a
store as neat as it should be.
But that's our job, and you
will be doing us favor il you
will let us know if your A&P
store ever fails in any way to
measure up to our high stand.
