construction program in detail,
and my desire to have a compe-
tent architect prepare preliminary
plans for the school facilities in
all islands in the near future.
I discussed with Mr.. C. L. Nc
Guinness of the Geological Survey,
who had made the initial explo-
ratory investigations looking to-
wards the establishment of the
potable water supply systems in
the Islands, the matter of proper
operation of the water supply
systems in the Islands, Mr. McGui
ness assured me of the correctness
of my position that,regardless OF
the potential capacity of the sys-
TENS fresh water will always be a
precious commodity in the V. 1
lands, and that efficient and econo-
mical operation of these systems
is not only advisable but neces-
sary. Mr. McGuiness will come to
the Virgin Islands later this
month to take an on-the-spot in
spection of the facilities as they
have been constructed and COM
pleted and advise us on proper
methods of operation.
I am sorry to say that we have
run into a serious difficulty in con
nection with a proposed additional
loan to the Virgin Islands Cor
poration by the Rural Electrified
ton Administration for extension
of the power facilities on the is
land of st. Croix. This loan, pro-
missed several months ago, has
been delayed because attorneys of
the R.E.A. have tentatively ex-
pressed the opinion that now that
the Virgin Islands Corporation is
a federally chartered corporation
a loan of R.E.A. funds may not be
legally possible. Mr.. Olson and
Mr.. Cissel stayed in Washington
for further conferences on this
matter, and Director Davis of the
Office of Territories is also doino
his best to unsnarl this problem
for us.

Tax of $4,000 VIII
Be Due On Small
Business Next Year
continued from nrst pase)

report At that time, the tax for
the past year must be paid in full.
For a self-emplOyed person earn
ing $4,000 a year or more, this
social security tax will amount to
SS1 next March. For those who
earned less than $4,000. the tax is
figured at 296 per cent of their
income.
Social security administrators
are deeply concerned over the lack
of public understanding of the pro-
vision of the amended law.
But while the new tax may come
as an unpleasant shock to many,
it is pointed out that to others it
may bring immediate and unreal
lied benefits.
In the first place, the self-em-
plOyed get a better break on So
cial security than do salaried
workers. A salaried worker pays
19o per cent of his pay check, up
to $500 a year, as his share of
the tax, and his employer pays a
similar amount. For the self-em-
ployed, however, the total tax is
only "a per cent.

Specifically excluded are doctors,

I There are many wrinkles in the
provision of the new law as it ap-

the law reads that a small retailer
is entitled to benefits if he contrib
utes substantial services" tG a
business enterprise-provided, OF
course, he is retiring and not re-
ceiving a total of $50 a month from
other employment.
Among substantial services is
the contribution of capital to an
enterprise. as an illustration. This
means that if a man puts up the
capital for a business and decides
to quit work at IS, he can draw
his benefits from social security
each mOnth-providing he keeps
away from the business.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 19.-
Purdue University has come up

athletics:
Take the heat of the coaches.
DR.. Frederick L. Hovde, Purdue
president, disclosed yesterday that
the university last year extended
Head Coach Stuart K. (Stu) Hol-
combs contract for 10 years, as
suring him a 13-year tenure at
Purdue.
| DR.. Hovde said he decided to
announce the extension because of
the growing problem of over. en-
lphasis in intercollegiate athletics,
"One of the things that institu-
tions can do Is to select a qualified
coach, who has demonstrated
qualities of leadership and teach
ing ability, and then give him the
same security enjoyed by other
members of the academic staff, F"

Bass fishing in the upper Poto-
mac was not too productive over
the week end. The water below
the Monocacy Rivers confluence
with the Potomac was very dirty
in spots. However, above the
mouth of the Monocacy it was in
good shape, although few fish were
taken and those none too large.
Plenty of small fish are taken
daily from the Shenandoah and
occasional catches of sizable small
mouths are reported from that
stream. Cooler nights soon will
start the larger fish into greater
feeding activities. One reason the
fish have been sluggish is the tre-
mendous amount of food available
this year. They just aren't hungry.
The same applies to the rock
fish and the blues in Chesapeake
Bay. The larger bluefiSh seem to
have left the Southwest MiddleS
and are scattered all over the
lower part Of the bay. Small blues
have been fairly plentiful along
the Western shore as far up as
Bloody Point Light bar, but evi-
dently the larger fish are not COM
ing into the upper bay this year.
Here again we believe the answer
is plenty of food Even commercial
,Ichummers for blues have had little
or no luck with them. Natural
food is so plentiful, the fish do
mot seem to be interested.
