Editorial
Low COST HOUSING

EVERY EFFORT should be made to have these Islands
enjoy the fullest benefits of the program Of the U. S. Housing
and Home Finance Agency. The local Housing Authority
which has been conducting surveys with a view to obtaining
the necessary information, should continue its work, and sub
NIT as quickly as possible its report to the Federal authorities
Stun clearance is necessary, but even more SO is the need for
good, low cost housing in all the towns of these Islands.
T IS SEEN that private capital has not been put in the
housing field and that for any considerable progress to be
made, the Federal government will have to be looked to. With
this thought, the local Housing Authority and all citizens
might bend every effort to fulfil the requirements. Land will
first have to be bought and cleared, plans drawn, and pro-
ject started. With these funds all that is necessary can be
done and the work started. But it is hoped that this work will
be started as soon as possible.
H TWO HOUSING projects, Basin Triangle and
Marley, have somewhat eased the housing situation, but they
are simply not enough. Many an eye-sore more centrally 10
Gated, should be bought, cleared off, and a modern convent
ent adequate project put up. Low cost housing has always
been a problem, and this is the time to take hold Of the OPP
portunity to do something.
AS is KNOWN, whenever a Federal program is to be
instituted, the local legislature must pass such laws as make
that program applicable to these Islands. With this in mind,
the local Legislatures have already psased the necessary laws
to fit into the Federal program.
AUTHORITIES probably now in a position to rush
plans to the Housing Agency, and thus get the project in the
Virgin Islands started. We need improved housing, and the
quicker the better

INCORPORATION HEARING SET
All Bids Rejected For School Annex

Only two firms submitted bids on the proposed annex to be con- structed at Palmer School this summer Both bids were reject ed, at Wednesday evenings spe- cial session of the school board, because they were too high.
 George Bachner of Anchorage was low with a bid of $69, ,592. Loyer & Casler, local firm, sub mitted a bid of $71,992.97.
 The school board had hoped to build the annex, which will be frame structure housing three classrooms, at a cost of between $40,000 and $50,0O0. There will be no basement beneath the pro- posed addition, and no heating plant will be installed there.
 School board members ex- pressed surprise at the high fig ure in both bids. Last week, bids for the construction of a school at Chugiak, to include three class rooms, an apartment, plumbing fixtures and a we'll, were con- siderably lower. Low bidder on that construction was Loyer. & Casler with a bid of $43, ,000. No award has been made yet.
 Cost of building materials has risen markedly in the past two or three weeks, which accounts for the high figure for the Palmer School, it was felt.
 School board members decided to enter into negotiations with MT. Bachner in an attempt to whittle his figure down to meet the schools construction budget. They also will discuss their prob lem with Sandvik & Roark and Lover & Casler, both local con- tracting firms.

Payment in Advance Is Now Required By Valley Hospital

Effective immediately, all pa- tients seeking treatment at the Valley Hospital must deposit a weeks room rent in advance or be refused treatment, Jack New comb, head of the Valley Hospi- tai Association, announced today. Patients remaining for longer than a week will be required to pay weekly.
 This new policy was decided upon at hospital board meeting last Wednesday, called to discuss the precarious finances of the Valley institution.
 This new policy may seem to be hard-hearted," MT. Newcomb said. However, it is necessary because so many Valley residents have neglected to pay their hos pital bills in the past"
 It was pointed out that this policy is supposed to have been iA force at the Valley Hospital for some time, but the staff has been lenient toward patients who have been unable to pay at the time of their admittance.
 Some patients thus excused do pay later, MT. Newcomb said, but

 There are chickens in the root cellar, chickens in the hay loft, chickens in the garage and chick ems in the back yard on the Alba Brooks Cackleberry Farm in the Matanuska Valley. And MT. Brooks wouldn't mind bit if he had to move a flock or two into his home, for chickens are MT. Brooks business. And a very profitable business it's growing to be, now, with eggs retailing at $1.10 a dozen and the Brooks Cacklebird flyers selling at $1.10 a pound.

 The farm is killing 125 broi1ers and 30 hens weekly, and Mr. Brooks says they're not up to full production yet, but will approach 1t in a week or two.
 Day-old chicks are flown to the farm from the Outside hatchery When they arrive here in the Val ley, they travel upstairs to the loft of the Brooks barn and settle down to a short babyhood Tn a light-globe-heated brooder.

cessary welfare agencies are

the job Of caring for these
worn-out labSfsrs. That propo
sal IS meaningless unless there
are these agencies. Il is there
fore the responsibility Of Con-
gress to 50 bring the Virgin IS
lands in line with national vel
fare plans that the same care
and attention IS given 70 local
workers Of old age.

REP. cRAWFoRDS RECOMMENDATIONS


nEFnhoEN1AlIVE GraWfords recommendations tor q
legislative program for the Virgin Islands Is perhaps the most
Observation-Disclosures in 4 long time. This proposed
program IS 50 complete that if even 4 small part Of ii were
carried out, many Of our local problems could be solved with
out difficulty. Ii is perhaps unfortunate that Congress may
not devote enough time and effort to dispose Of q few of these
proposals. for in 50 doing the way would Be cleared for great
er sef-government and economic stability.
so IMPORTANT are these recommendations that con
siderable time and space should be devoted to discussion Of
them and 50 an effort will be made to place these before the
public within the next few weeks. IN all a total Of 90 recon-
m~endations have been advanced BY Representative Crawford.
These recommendations cut to the very core Of ou problems,
and every effort should Be made both BY the local Govern
ment and groups here and on the mainland to have these
recommendations considered BY Congress.
ITEM ~ IS perhaps the most questionable one. ii reads.
"Incapacitated agricultural employees should promptly be
removed from the pay rolls Of the Virgin Islands Corpora
ton, and welfare agencies Of the Municipality Of ST. Crok
should assume responsibility for their care"
THIS MATTER poses 4 serious and delicate problem
All over the continental United States, labor unions have sue
ceeded in securing welfare pension funds for their workers
who have reached the place where they can no longer serve
their employers. The theory behind it all IS that labor IS the
most important production expenditure, and like machinery
and everything else should have a fund set aside for its re-
placement, and the replacement takes the form Of pensions.
With ordinary machinery there are expenses incident to ope-
ration and when il is WON out beyond its stage Of usefulness,
then it must Be replaced. But not 50 with labor. All that capt
tai does is pay labor, 50 that when a man Or woman, has
worked himself into sickness q old age for tie employer, then
his only lot IS 4 be cast aside. BY that time new workers come
along and the cycle IS repeated. Il seems only fair that when
the best years Of 4 mans life hayebee faithfully devoted Is
furthering the economic benefits IF an employer that such
employer should provide FOR the waning years Of the labOrer.
