poor risk for security reasons.
Perhaps the fault is with you.
Have you been embittered by your
divorce. and inclined to cynicism
with young ladies? This would
run the females from your side
quicker than a dozen divorces.
A man possessing all the good
qualities you enumerate should
have no trouble acquiring fem
mime friends. I think you have a
chip on your shoulder, and advise
that you knock it of pronto.
Lest any of my young lady read

DEAR MISS DIX: A friend of
mine, some years ago, married a
divorced man with one child. 1t
has been a very successful mar
riage, and my friend has always
been good mother to the child.
Now she wants to know if she is
right in assuming that while the
first wife still lives the child can't
claim the second wife as a STEP
mother.
Answer: Your friend is wrong.
A second wife becomes the step
mother of her husbands children
as soon as she's married to their
father.

Very often community planning
IS thought to be a gaudy affair con
cerned mainly with Identification
ana expensive civic improvements
Far from a device for spending
money on grandiose improve
ments, community planning as it
IS rlghtfully understood and nrac1
tlced today, includes definite LEGAL
and administrative procedures
carefully worked out after years
OF experience in many places, and
designed to prevent Wasteful. ex-
traVagant and needless expendi-
lures for public services and
facilities. It is with this progres-
slVe concept Of community plan

Flaming Law has been prepared,

A revised act to establish the
Office of the Virgin Islands Audi

This revised draft is proposed to
make certain changes in pro-

entire function of auditing the f.
nancIal transactions of the insular

Retirement benefits

retirement benefits
The Administration has pro-
posed an Act to provide for the
coverage Of certain officers and
employees of the insular govern
men Of the Vlgoin Islands and
of political subdivisions thereof
under the Old age and Survivors
Insurance provis nos of Title II of
the Federal Social Security Act.
This is enabling legislation which
should provide retirement benefits
for those official and employees of
the local government who are not
now covered by the municipal re-
tlrement systems. We owe it to
these employees to ensure their
future security by having them
included under some retirement
system. Obviously under the Fed
eral Social Security Act the
benefits will be greater. This re-
vised draft meets with the APP
proval of the Federal Security
Agency.
Planning
The revised Act creating the
Virgin Islands Planning Board is
designed to improve the entire
program Of community planning
which has been initiated under
the Planning Law passed by the
Fifteenth Legislative Assembly.
Unfortunately, not very much
could have been accomplished
under the existing law, since it
does not provide the important
legal basis needed for a practical

consideration will provide an ade-

DR.. CANEGATA AS ADMINISTRATOR

YESTERDAY Dr.. David c. Canegata took the oath as
Administrator for St. Croix, marking the first time that a
native has had the opportunity of holding the top post in this
Island. The appointment of Dr.. Canegata as Administrator is
an excellent one. When it became known that the position
would become vacant late this year, speculation as to the
next appointee became rife. Many an ambitious citizen Of
these parts quickly raised his hopes, and even those from far
off eyed the position, but it was not to be dished out so easily.
All things considered, and there were many, this appointment
is a fine one.
DR.. ANECA should be at home in his new position.
Without counting the normal formal education which is
mentioned customarily at such times, it seems more fitting
instead to point out that DR.. C~anegatas acquaintance with
the internal fmctioning Of the local government is surpassed
by none, and in fact may be the greatest and most authentic
He has been a member of the Council for "A years, and has
served as chairman of that body for IL Of these years. In adj
dition, he has been with each and every committee of import
ance, principal of which was the Municipal Committee, our
local ways and means committee 1t is safe to say, therefore,
that no more qualified citizen could have been appointed.
AS TIM PASSES, and as St. Croix seeks to assert itself,
it is imperative that top level positions be filled by those
whose concern for their fellowmen is unquestioned; that
these appointees meet the highest qualifications brought
about by adequate training and ability. Such is the appoint
ment in this case.
THIS PAPER JOINS with the thousands of citizens Of
St. Croix in expressing congratulations to Administrator
Canegata. 1t is everyones assurance that this distinguished
citizen will bring to his new position the dignity, warmth,
understanding and ability which is bound to keep it where
it belongs.

Anacosfia Backs Retention
OF Camps for Children

The Anacostia Citizens Associa-
ton last night went on record as
favoring the rentention of the
present camps for underprivileged
children.
This move was taken in the
event that the Army may want to
take over the camps.
The association also asked for
the elimination of meter parking
after regular business hours in the
Anacostia business section. It was
pointed out that motorists must
pay to park until 10 pm. along
Nichols avenue Sc, whereas in
most sections of the District it is
not necessary to pay after 6 pm.
The meeting was held in the

hall. Fourteenth and U streets
