Congressman Meet with Local Leaders,.
1Wo-DOIIar Wage Rate Surprises Them

After a press confab, which
lasted but a few minutes the
subcommittee on Education
and Labor met with a group.
of local leaders and listened
to testimony on conditions
here as they affect education
and labor.
First to testify was Mrs.
Pearl Byrd Larsen; Superin-
tendent of Education whose
testimony on the condition of
our schools was very impress
sive. Conditions were bad
some years ago. Today they
are worse. Not one of the build
lngs now being used as a
school was originally built as
such. They were private homes
or churches. They are not ade-
quately equipped with, among
other things, seats, water sup
ply, light or air. None are in
accordance with the standards
of education.
Others who testified were
Norman Olson, President of
the Virgin Islands Corporation
the Hon. Ludwig Harrigan,
president of the st. Croix La
Dor Union; Joseph Alexander,
president of the Chamber of
Commerce and Stanley Coul-
ter, Superintendent of the De
partment Of Public Welfare.
Most of the members of the
committee were surprised and
amazed to learn that field
workers of VICORP received
only So per day and still had
to purchase foods at a high
rate. Among these were Con-
gressmen Harold H. Velde of

Milford Grange

The Milford Grange will open
the meeting at 8 O'Clock Saturday
evening, November 19, at the
Grange Hall, S. E. Second street,
Milford.
Try to be on time as we are look
ing forward to a good meeting and
a fine program.
Freddie Mitchell and some of the
All club members will be in
charge of the programs.
If you were not at the Grange
meeting last week you missed a
treat.
Mr. Glasmire, principal of Mil
ford High School, spoke on the
School of Yesterday and the School
Of Today.
In his talk he mentioned that in
years gone by, if student could
pass a county examination, he could
teach, as it was only "a" grade pu-
pills who went to high school and
were only educated in medicine,
law and the ministry. Today all
boys and girls go to high school
and are educated in any subject
that they are interested in. This
desire on the pupils part to better
their minds leads very directly to
the need for more and more teach
ers and better schools.

and application of heat through the
use of electricity has been made
practical and economical by in
tra-red filament lamps, and is now
being. applied to brOOding of chick
ems.
The theory is that the chickens
will bask under the infra-red lamps
and be warm, regardless of the
weather, because they will absorb
the same radiant energy that comes
from the sun, just as in Sun Valley,
Idaho, where it is possible to be in
the snow sans clothing and yet be
warm enough from the radiant en-
ergy which comes direct from the
sun.

Due to the great expansion of
Milford in the last five years, there
are many areas that have nice new
homes, but still only have dirt
streets and no drainage, no other
public conveniences.@ So The problem
is to provide these people with the
conveniences that the older part of
the City enjoys.
Believing that this is a way of
providing funds for the betterment
of the City, Ordinance No. So was
therefore adopted.

none of us can forsee.
you're right" John said. eve
knew where all the stores were
and had the phone numbers Of
thetalor shop, the beauty parlor,
and the movies jotted down. But
we foolishly neglected to check on

I reminded John that regardless

want to know of a doctor for their
regular physical chackups, includ-
ing X-rays. John agreed, adding
that he had never thought of that.
Everyone should be prepared
for sickness and accident emergen-
cies. In addition to having his
Doctors phone number or address
handy, it is a good idea for a per-
son to have some first aid equip
ment, including a thermometer, in
the home. It must be stressed,
however, that self-treatment, es-
pecially Of a serious illness, is
