Dead MutterCh hen :

Dead Mutterchen:
You are right when YOU call me
a "gussa- -beazum" but it it's nice
to be able to visit ones relatives
and friends and | know YOU will
be just as happy as we were when
YOU hear OF our recent trip. We
visited Chicko and his family in
Niles. Ohio.
You will remember Chicko as
the lovable. mischievous village
bad boy. who could wiggle his
ears and who could touch his nose
with his tongue, who loved to
raid neighbr's Buck oven espe-
ciallv if there were 4 or 5 chick
ems and ducks being roasted to a
turn. However, the only reason
lie ever did this. he tells us, was
because at that time. he could un-
derstand animal talk and as soon
as the cook placed anything in
the oven he could hear the ducks
ad chickens pleading with him,
Come and get me, come and get
me"
Ckicko is now grandfather
with the incest family Of children
and grandchildren a man could
wish for. But know you'll smile
when Won hear that for all his
wears he is still the same. Reus-
markt must have been a different
place after he left. The hills some
how missed his echoing laughter
and village fathers no lon ge r
cha sed a ninble-footed voungster
through TIE co|A!ed streets and
the "rolukas clappeI" was used
only for the "polukas.'
Our visit took us to the hall
and the Niles Nerein should get
a medal for what they are doing.
With merely a handful of people
to work with they are doing much
to hold their people together. The
harvest dance was an example
For never was there a more iov-
Gus affair. Around and around the
dancers went. even tie pumpkins
and witches swaved gracefully
with te happy rhythm Of the pol
kas ad waltzes. Niles could we'll
rate the smallest biggest verein
in the whole Central Nerband.
And mutterchen. we n o VI e d
every minute Of our stay there.
Yoi. vol. 7 foun d something
else ont too. the Distretzer might
say schweibel differently than
YOU do but when it comes to dane
ing I'd say they know how to
twirl person around Just as we'll
as Reusmarkter can.
And so mutterchen. ! close with
tie tohught that where one comes
from doesn't really matter. what
does matter is the ability to get
along with one another and to
live together in friendly fellow
shin with ones fellowmen.
Leh wohl and aui Wiedersehn.
Your loving DAUGHTER.

erned relations between labor
unions and their members, labor
unions and employers and labor
unions and the public. Contrary
to the violent propaganda cam

by some union bosses, this law
has had widespread support
throughout the country, among
the workingmen themselves and
the general public. 1t has had
the approval of both the Demo-

and the Republican-controlled
8Cth Congress. The 80th Con-

De Castro Meets Heads Of viz

gin Island Organizations
Governor de Castro in his
address at the "little mass
meeting" which the co-ordi-
nating Committee Of Ameri-
can Virgin Island Societies at
tended on April 90, 1850, made
It clear that the destiny Of the
Virgin Islands, in a large meas
ure, lies in the hands Of Main
land VIRGIN Islanders. He cited
the several legislative acts he
would seek of the United
States Congress- essential to
the very existence Of our peo-
pie at home such as the return
Of the Internal Revenue Tax,
the appointment or election of
q Resident Commissioner, full
social security benefits, etc,
fully aware that his solicita-
tons would have far greater
chance Of success If the organ
lied strength Of all Virgin Is
-landers residing in the u. S.
was 1000 behind him.
In all honesty the meeting
called bv the Governor was
not satisfactory, not because
Of anvslack on his part but pri
mariIv because Of the auspices
under which It was held; for
while we expected afree and
omen discussion Of the pro-
blems Of the Islands, we found
ourselves limited to listening
and then asking questions. Il
SHOULD also be noted that the
Co-crdinating Committee of
a Y. !. Societies was not re-
presented at the mass meeting
on Sunday April 80. 1850, for
the sirnnle reason that the
committee was not invited to

Meeting to present a United
Front on such an suspicious
occasion in itself constitutes
q stumbling block in the way
Of Mr.. de Castro's program for.
the Islands.
P~itsfalls TO be Avoided
It is understandable that Mr..
de Castro did not want, on his
first visit here as Governor to
get into a Mainland squabble
and therefore he sought what
he regarded as the best facili-
ties opened to him to meet his
people; but he should never
make the error Of thinking
that the sponsor of this mass
meeting actually controls the
votes Of the people there as
sembled; they came out to see,
meet and hear the first Virgin
Island Governor and would
have done so no matter who
sponsored the meeting. Any
persuasion on the part of the
sponsor to obtain special con-
sideration from the vi. admin
istration on the ground that it
has fleet feet on the inside.
trackis a pitfaH and that must
be avoided.

Independence
In the last analysis Wis on

compartriots in two, ways
only, politically and economi
cally. Presently we can better
help politically. Now the spear

zation Of the mass meeting for.
