were not in Washington dur

stay.
/ want to give my special
thanks to the young Virgin
Islander by the name of Cyril
King, who works in Senator
Humphreys Office. This young
man happens to be a represen-
tative of the Virgin Islands
Youth Council in Washington,
has been of valuable help, and
certainly made things a lot
easier for me in getting around
Washington. He offered his
lstenographic and secretarial
help, which was used by my
self on numerous occasions in
writing letters to various per-
sons. / certainly disagree with
the theory of certain agitators
who live in New York that
are the only people who have
the ear Of the Legislative
Branch, the Congress of the
United States. A member of
any committee in Ohio or Ne
braska certainly doesn't wor-
ry as to how many votes there
happen to be in any district
in New York City. It is very
unfortunate that certain peo-l
pie for self-aggrandizement
would prefer to put obstacles
in the way of a legislative re-
preventative of the people when
they themselves can do very
little to help. It took the Vir-
gin Islands all of fifteen years
to get an Organic Act, but to-
day the Organic Act of the Vir-
gin Islands happens to be our con
stitution. / feel the same way
about the resident commissioner
bill as ! do about the Organic Act
and those who led the fight to see
that Act become law, I do think
that our desire for a resident
commissioner has been manifested!

future date a plan which / believed
can be coordinated between the
people of the Virgin Islands and

Exclusively Yours,
No Grass Under Feet of Air Force Bosses;
Joseph (. Davies to Give Dinner Dance

Something's happening to the
Air Force cuisine, or, mess, to you;
and it's simply lovely.
When word reached these ever
eager ears that Sergeants Albert
Weston, James Sim and Jerry
Tomlin Of Boiling and Andrews
Fields had just completed three
month cooking courses under the
tutelage of the Mayf1ower, Shore
ham and Statler chefs respective
1y. sweet dreams began to assail
me.
Could it be that henceforth the
boys In blue Cor khaki yeti would
sit down to a little caviar or pate
followed by cog AL vim with as
paragus hollandaise and topped
off by some mountaineering pro-
fteroles? Had the sergeants been
studying under the Mayfower's
MarchetelIi, the Shoreha N 6
Dziura and the Statler's Buisson
to learn how to carve swans out
of ice to add an elegant decor to
the tables in the mess? And why
not? Nothing's too good for our
boys.
So an interview with Sergt.
Weston followed. What's cooking
in the cookery department,
wanted to know.
We've been studying advanced
cooking to improve the Air Force
mess and make the food look more
attractive" he advised me, adding
that they want to put an end to
that famed old charming Army
name for a cook-slum burner.
I'VE have learned how to make
sauces-Italian, hollandaise, and
bourdelaise, and how to make the
roasts taste better with carrots
onions, celery, little garlic, etc.
he continued. explaining that the
old American standby. potato
salad, no longer looks so unap-
pealing now that it's garnished
with sliced tomatoes, paprika and
parsley.
And do the boys appreciate all
this? They do. it seems. The
new cooking has been in effect two
weeks and already there's less
grumbiing and less waste. Food
that looks attractive is more apt
to be entirely consumed instead
of partially left on the plate, the
mess sergeant explained. Was il
more expensive, wanted to know?
Apparently not. It just takes 8
little more time but it's worth il

Emily Post

A letter says: GAS my flances
and live near each other, stop
by for her at the Office at night
and we drive home together. When
she comes out of the building I
greet her with kiss. I have been
severely criticized for this by some
of my friends who say it is bad
taste to show any display OF af-
lection in public. Will you please
give me your opinion about this"
There is really nothing wrong
in doing as you do, so long as the
kiss you give her is a mere greet
ing on the cheek.
Deoth Notices
Dear Mrs. Post: My wife died
recently. While she was alive we
travelled a good deal both here
and abroad and acquired many
friends. Many of these people do
not know of my wife's passing and
I would like to inform them of this
but do not want to write personal
notes to each. Would it be proper
to have a card, such as the fol-
lowing, printed and mailed to these
friends:
Mr.. Henry Smith regrets to in
form you of the death Of his wife.
Mary Smith on (date)"?
Answer: In the first place ii
would be proper to send them only
to those who knew her well, in
which case you would write on
your mourning bordered card by
hand, II am sure you will be sorry
to hear of Mary's death and the
date"
Continue to Wear Ring
Dear Mrs. Post: My fiance was
killed in an automobile accident
about a month ago. Is it proper
for me to continue wearing my
engagement ring, and If so, on
what hand and finger should I
wear it?
Answer: 1t is entirely proper
for you to wear it, but it would
be best to place it on your right
hand to prevent people from ask
ing when you are going to b
married.

Relief from a week of soaring

to pour into Washington today for

The forecast for today is mostly
sunny, less humid with a high

temperature and humidity are due
to rise again tomorrow.
