SEVENTEENTH CENSUS OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
pRoCLAM
By the Governor Of the Virgin Islands Of the United States

Whereas, by the Act of Congress approved June 18, 1929,
the Seventeenth Decennial Census of the United States is to
be taken in 1850, and by the Act OF Congress of July is, 1919,
a Census OF Housing is provided; and
Whereas. by the terms Of the aforesaid Acts of Congress,
the United States Bureau of the Census has been charged
with the duty of collecting data and compiling statistics re-
lating to the status of the population, agriculture and hous-
ing Of the Virgin Islands of the United States, as of the first
day Of April 1850; and
Whereas, it is Of the utmost Importance to the interest
of all the people of the Virgin Islands of the United States
that this census be complete and accurate;
Now, therefore, /, MORRIS F. DE CASTRO. Acting
Governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States, do here
by declare and make known that, under the aforesaid Act
OF Congress, it's the duty of every person to answer all ques-
tions. on the census schedules applying to him and the family
to which ne belongs, and to the farm occupied by him or his
family, and that any person over eighteen years of age re-
fuslng to DO SO IS subject to penalty provided by law.
The sole purpose of the census is to collect and compile
general statistical information regarding the population and
the agriculture of the Virgin Islands Of the United States.
and replies to the census inquiries are required only in order
to permit the compilation of such information. The census
abs nothing to do with taxation with army or jury service.
or with the compusion of school attendance; nor can any per
son be harmed in any way by supplying the information re
CURED. There need be no fear that any disclosure will be
made regarding any individual person or his affairs. Every
employee of the Census Bureau is forbidden under heavy
penalty, to disclose, to any person other than a sworn census
employee, any information that may come to his knowledge
by reason of his employment in connection with the census
therefore earnestly urge all persons to answer prompt
~, completely, and accurately, all inquiries addressed to
them by enu1nerators and other employees Of the Census
Bureau, and to cooperate in every way possible toward max
ing this very Important and necessary public undertaking
a success.
The people Of the Virgin Islands of the United States
should be mindful that on them depends in large measure
the success OF this census. The results, which later are to be
published and widely distributed, will be compiled from the
data uppled to the enumerators by the people. IF these data
are incomplete or Inaccurate, the census will fail of its our
pose, which is to show the status Of the Virgin Islands Of the
United States as regards their population and their agricul-
tural reources.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and
caused the Seal Of the Virgin Islands Of the United States to
be affixed. Done at Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas this sixth
day Of March, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty.

state medical and dental societies
covering uniform fees for all reci-
pients of public assistance"
In its reference to adoption
placements, the board makes its
recommendation for licensed agen-
cies only Ito avoid the tragedies
that occur too often when place
ments are made without due care
and thought by the mother, or by
individuals without proper study of
the child and of the home in which
the child is to be placed.
Such a change in the law would
prevent placement by a person who
may or may not profit by the trans
action, and would insure full re.
spect for the rights OF the mother.
and careful consideration of the
suitability of the adoption home
for both the child and the adaptive
parents"
The board reports that good pro.
gress has been made in the findine
of good foster homes and the main.
tenance of a qualified staff, but
that these remain big problems
The last fiscal year was started
with 31S children in boarding
homes and ended with 1886 children
IN them. There is still a long wait
ing list, however.
In this connection zone great re-
source has been the Governor Ba-
con Health Center. In addition to
our maladjusted children admitted
Milford chronicle., 1950-12-15

to the Center for care and treat
ment, we can place children tempo
rarily in the Center in emergency
circumstances, and then place them
in a good foster home as soon as
one can be found"
Care For Negro Child
Another of the boards greatest
problems, according to the report,
is adequate care for the Negro
child. "The Interfaith Dental Clin-
&c in Wilmington has been a most
helpful resource, but the problem
s still major one"
The report calls the staff fairly
adequate for protective service, but
another worker will soon be needed
IN Kent County because of the in
creasing need there.
The board cared for 84S children
under the welfare service last
year, slight decline from the 854
If the previous year. Last year the
board spent $249,O83.O6 for child
welfare Of which $214,O46.89 came
from the state, $7,119.01 from trust
account funds and $27,917.16 from

will keep caseloads and costs as
low as possible. During the appli-
cation process a home visit is al
ways made, and every family is
checked regularly every three
months, or Oftener if necessary"
Importance OF Ado Program
The Importance of the ADO pro-
gram is stressed in the report. "It
is also our conviction that children
are the most important resource of
any community, or state, and that
the cost of providing for dependent
children is the best investment
the government can make. We
know that in many cases our chill
dren reach the age of Is and are
able to take over the support of
their mother and the younger chill
dren. Others gifted above the aver
age, are able to go on to higher ed
ucatiOn. We have seen many fcrlD-
er ADO children who have been pro
Vlded with subsistence and an edu-
cation, who are now good, respon-
sible citizens, we'll thought of in
their communities.
The report notes that an appro-
priatiou of $4,000 was provided in
state funds, to be matched by the
counties, to meet the medical, dem
tai and optical needs of Ado fam
lilies, where these needs cannot be
met lin any other way, as by avail
able free care or clinical service.
obviously, this amount is not
sufficient for the needs of some g.
600 children and 700 adults. It is
hoped that more liberal provision
will be made in the future, and that
agreements can be made with the
Milford chronicle., 1950-12-15
End TO Ceilings Urged

For that reason the board be-
lieves experimentation should be
abolished in favor of one of lis
suggested alternatives. The report
notes that if the present ceiling bill
were repealed administrative cell
ings would have to be set by the
board so that the payments would
stay within the boundaries of the
appropriation granted by the Legis-
lature.
AS for the second alternative-an
amendment to the present bill au-
thorizing larger grants which
would come closer to meeting min
imum needs-the report calls at
tentiOn to the increase in living
costs, especially food, since 1947,
adding that These are no indica-
tions that prices will go down; on
the contrary, all signs point to a
permanently high level of prices
and even higher costs of living"
In many cases present ceiling
grants are not enough to meet
minimum needs on a bare subsis-
tence level We believe that in or
der to meet the minimum needs of
dependent children, the ceiling law
should be repealed or amended"
The continually increasing num-
Der of families who need aid-tO-de-
pendent children assistance is call
ed the most pressing problem of
the fiscal year, as it was last year.
However, it is pointed out, the
caseload reached a peak in August,
1850, and has declined slightly
since then, which may mean that
caseloads may not increase as rap
idly in the future as they have in
the past.
For over two years the caseload
has increased at the rate of about
10 net cases a month all over the
state, for which it was necessary to

federal funds.
In the 1948-49 fiscal year the
amount spent was S2O8. .711.27. of
which $174,664.64 came from the
state. This past year 1888 .912.54 in
funds were available, compared to
SLY 1859 available in the previ-
GUS fiscal year.
Under the ADO program the
board had 2,O26 children being
helped at the close of the wear A
total of $596,757.29 in disburse-
ments was made out of the S6O1
111.32 available. OF the money
available $164,181.44 came from tho
state, $128,654.94 from the counrv
funds, and $SO8,274.94 from federal
funds.
The federal funds for child 'wel-
fare services came from the U. s
Children's Bureau, while those for
the Ado program came from the
Social Security Administration.
At the close of the fiscal year
the board had closed 20 steriliza-
ton cases and had 81 applications
pending.

it asked for separate legislation

to remove the interlocutOry decree
in the present law which now per-
mits some adopting families to

Foster Homes Needed
4. The finding of enough good
foster homes and the boards abili-
ty to have an adequate staff to
serve the Children still remain two
of the major problems.
The report notes that Delaware
law provides that no grant to a
mother with one child may exceed
500 a month, regardless of need.
under the aid-tO-dependent chill
dren program Higher grants are
provided for additional children up
to an overall ceiling of $3.50 a
month. which would require nine
or more children.
And, the report continues, Even
in 1947 these ceiling grants were
not enough, in some. cases, to cover
minimum subsistence needs" At
that time experimentation to pre-
vent severe hardship in cases was
arranged, with a $4,000 apprOpri-
ation-with matching funds from
the ounties-authOriz by the
General Assembly.
During the 1949-5O fiscal year all
