NO TAX ON FISHING!
I'LL tUs6n
WNU E~eatures

FISHING tackle is one Of the few
L things left without a higher tax
in the new Federal tax law. As a
fisherman we felt pretty good until
we gave it second thought and dis
covered it will cost more than ever
to 60 fishing just the same. It works
out this way: "
1.-You decide to 60 fishing, but
need a pal, so you call Joe Burpee
over to the house to make plans.
This calls for a highball. The tax on
whisky Is up.
2.-You set the trip for Mon
day. It dawns beautifully but
by the time you've got the car
. packed q heavy rain starts. You
and Joe sit In the car q while
waiting for It to clear up. You
smoke at least . pack Of olga
rrettes on which there is q high
|er tax. You have another high
~ taxed drink to cover your dis
appointment. You set Tuesday
for the trip.
3.-Tuesday you wake up to find
a bowling storm. You 60 to work
but at 10 am. it turns into a swell
fishing day. You meet Joe for
lunch. This costs you a couple Of
drinks to cover your general dis
gust.
"Wednesday is okay. You 60 in
your car and the gasoline tax is up.
5.-If you needed clans and dug
them yourself you strained your
back and had to pay more for the
alcohol for the alcohol rub.
6.-Just before reaching the river
your car blows out a tire and the
new tube carries a higher tax. You
smoke a few more cigarettes.
THE boat livery proprietor
raises the rate to So from $3.50 be-
cause he had to paint the bottom
and there's a higher tax on paint.
8.-You fish five hours without a
bite and have a few cans Of beer
that cost more, due to the new beer
tax.
9.-You fish three hours more and
finally catch one. It's pretty small,
but you celebrate with another
drink from a flask on which there
was a higher levy.
10.-You get home and call q
friend to tell him about the
zone that smashed all my rig
GIN and musta weighed fifteen
pounds" 1t takes another drink
to put you into your best form
as a liar.
11.-You wake up the next morn
ing with a bad cold. This calls for
hot whisky. You stay abed all day,
smoking cigarettes.
12.-You get up and start for the
office the third day, but the car
won't start. It seems you ran low
on oil during the fishing trip and
will need a new part which will
cost you 20 per cent more, due to
new taxes.
13.-This brings on a relapse.
14.-You call the doctor. He finds
you have high blood pressure, q
leaky valve, a touch Of pneumonia,
a fever and a rapid pulse. He says
you are too tense. He advises you

a IWO-PARII SYSTEM FOR THE vi
IN RECENT radio address Governor de Castro strono-
" advocated the establishment of the two party system in the
virgin Islands. In deploring its absence the Governor stressed
the tact that there was no organized opposition in the legis-
lative halls, and intimated that responsibility was a natural
consequence of that short-coming.
WE W~HOLEHEARTEDLY endorse the Governors
views on this matter, and believe that it is especially signif-
cant this time when we are clamoring for increased self
government. The states of the Union, and the United States
itself, have been able to make tremendous progress because
OF the development of the two-party system. If it were not
TOR this system it is conceivable that Americans would be en-
joyng less democracy than they now do. With one party
always on hand to check on the other that is in power and to
report any abuses in office to the people, no political party
could afford to behave too r~eckleSsly. This opposition has
given the people the opportunity to hear every side of any
important public issue and to decide for themselves which
course of action to take.
UNFORTUNATELY we here in the Virgin Islands have
yet to pattern our politics after the good example set on the
mainland. Here it is every man for himself, a total lack of any
responsibility for action or lack of action in regard to vital
legislation, and in effect we have a dozen or more different
individual parties. ..e
NOT ONLY do we need to organize parties in each
Municipality, but we must develop them on a Virgin Island
wide basis. In a few years by a single legislature; possibly we
may have to, elect our own governor and other highrankng
officials. We cannot do an efficient or effective Job unless we
have developed political parties along the lines of the states.

When an American faces a word
shortage, instead Of waving his
arms he either makes up new words
or borrows words from other langu-
ages.
While Shakespeare was writing
his plays and eking out meager
living, Americans had already made
notable start in faShioning new
and rich language of their own by
borrowing literally the words they
needed from the inhabitants Of the
majestic new individually, from
the Indians.
Such words as these were taken
to be new English" words, despite
the fact that they were not English
in any sense, but strictly American:
Caribou (KA1R uh boo), from
the Algonquian: The North Ameri-
can reindeer.
Catalpa Ckuh-TAL-puh). from the
Greek kutuhlpa: A tree with large
cordate leaves and bell shaped
white flowers.
Pecan (puh-KAHN), from the
Algonquian: ANY hard-shelled nut
The American spelling originally
was paccan, which probably &C
counts for the pronunciation pi-
KAN, which is heard in the East
and occasionally elsewhere. The
Spanish influence, especially in the
South and Southwest, where the
tree f1ourishes, perhaps explains the
more generally heard: Puh-KAHN
Punk (pungk), from the Algon-
quian, literally means fine ashes,
but American slang has given II
the meaning of bad, miserable; a
young tramp. and in movie jargon
IAN inexperienced assistant to a
camerman.
Chinquapin (CHINK uh pin)
originally spelled checkinqumin, is
from the Algonquian and designates
a dwarf species of chestnut.
Squash (skwosh) is an abbrevia-
ton of the Narragansett asku-
tasquash, meaning vegetable eater
green" Other variations in the
original spelling were isquonter-
squash and squantersquash.
