BEHIND THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

BEHIND II PROPOSED
A SECOND look at the proposed new Organic Act for
the Virgin Islands should make it clear that at the bottom of
it is the desire to take polite" out Of the government of
these Islands. In the first place there is to be no Administra-
tor tor st. Croix. This seems strange indeed, for even if the
group is one political unit, still even the smallest village on
the mainland has its mayor. 1t seems awkward indeed to have
affairs of this island function without some central Office, with
a titular head.
BUT WHAT of the other proposed provisions that point
to the indication that politics" should be out? Representa-
tives are to be elected on the basis of one for every 5000
population, and this is for the entire group. Then comes the
period during which the legislature would meet, which is but
60 days, And during that time the peoples representatives
will receive $40 per day and expenses. 1t is evident that there
is the belief that we do too much legislating; that 60 DAYS are
quite enough tor the legislature to meet; and that if anything
else arises, then the Governor may call a special session. This
matter of paid legislators for each Island, on a monthly basis,
with the councils in session throughout the year will then be
out of the question.
ATTHE PRESENT time there is a tendency to have pro-
fessional politicians-men who devote their entire time and
energies to the affairs of the people who elected them. These
men meet frequently, attempt to tackle the many vexing pro-
blems which have beset us, and pass what they consider to
be the necessary bills. 1t must be remembered that as far
back as l94l this paper went on record as suggesting that
legislators be paid Of course, most people chuckled, and
wondered if The Avis had gone crazy. Before that decade had
ended we had paid politicians. Our reason for having made
the suggestion is that we have not as yet come up with a
group of Legislators who are willing, or able, to devote the
necessary time and attention to the affairs Of these Islands.
The men who, professionally and otherwise, seem to be most
well prepared, either prefer not to bother with politics, or
must devote their time and effort to their own personal affairs.
Under these circumstances, the state Of politics would be
most unfortunate indeed, and the possible way out is to have
paid politicians, whose sense Of responsibility to the commu-
nifty can definitely be measured in terms of what is produced.

How Long Can a Woman

Millions of women have already

1T is now established beyond any
shadow of doubt that estrogenic
hormones can make women over 35
look younger, and clinical tests prove
that these estrogens can be safely ap-

Doctors have discovered that up to
IS, a woman's skin receives an abun-
dant supply of natural estrogens
through the blood stream. These nat,
ural eshogens enable the supporting
under-tissues of your skin to retain
moisture. This moisture gives your
skin the full, firm look that is the
secret of young beauty
When natures supply of estrogens
begins to dry up, after the age of 35,
your under skin loses its natural mois-
ture, and your outer skin actually be-
gins to collapse. Its radiant fullness
and freshness disappear. You begin to
show tragic signs of age-dryness,
wrinkles, crepey throat, old-skin

GIVING With GRACE

FAMOUS AMERICAN DESIGNER

rather stuff his piggy bank than make
friendly gesture. At the same time, the per-
son who spends more than he can afford on
his Christmas presents is guilty of poor
taste. He's often afraid that people don't
love him for himself and buys expensive
gifts to win their affection. Usually, such
gifts only make people uncomfortable.
One of the most annoying givers is the
person who buys others what he thinks they
ought to have, rather than what he knows
they want. For some reason, he feels called
upon to reform them. If they dislike things
mechanical, he's sure to present them with
a tool kit. If their taste in art is oonserva-
tive, he can't resist sending volume of
Picasso's latest four-eyed females.
lHE show-off chooses presents to impress,
rather than to please. They are usually
garish, often useless and always over priced.
We know because he remembers to forget
to remove the price tag. He wants to prove
that he's big shot and that money doesn't
mean thing to him.
Another tasteless giver is the calculating
one. He apportions his gifts with sharp
eye to what he will receive in return. To
his well-heeled friends go his choicest offer
ings, while his poor relations suffer.
The apologize giver is the calculator's
exact opposite. He can't stand getting more
than he gives. If your present to him is only
little more expensive than his present to
you, he is overwhelmed with embarrass-
ment. He makes you feel that you have
given him new yacht. whereas he has
fobbed off pair of left-handed gloves on
you.
It's lucky most people don't fall in these
categores - otherwise Christmas wouldn't
be half as nice as it isl

Herein lies the greater tragedy.
In holding the Negro in the ditch
the South has had to stay in the

the inevitable concomitant of

Serious and studied attempts
have been made to belittle the
meaning for Washington's pun
gent reference to a serious situa-
alton where whites are commit
ting themselves to eternalizing a
situation hat ultimately means
their own as well as the Negroes
undoing. Washington's statement
was just another way Of saying
that America cannot survive half
slave and half free. b.
The hope of the interracial
situation in the south lies in the
fact that more and more south
erners are alive to the seriousness
of the situation, and are willing to
do something about it. At heart
the south is forging ahead daily,
threatening to foresake tradition
alism for moral heroism, such as
these citical times demand.
THERE is NO advanced pro-
gram in anys sphere where we do
not find broadgauged southerners
ready to lead the way. 1t may
truly be said that the bark of the
south is much morse that it's bite.
Just a few days ago this writer
was riding some Of the best trains
through the South and the dining
car service was entirely devoid Of
discrimination. No curtains, no
particular tables, no attempts at
herding all Negroes ia n table.
Just plain first-class service
and a good time was had by all.
This happened in Alabama and
Talmadge's G eorgia where
young Talmadge promised to
stop the trains at Georgia's
borders and hurl every Negro
from his pullman seat.
The motivation of this acticle
stems from a recent editorial in
the Raleigh Times; the editorial
was captioned "The Rejection of
Southern Draftees." 1t was enough
to make the south sick at heart
for it was pointed out in rather
convincing fashion that the cur
cent effort at recruitment is
seriously handicapped by the high
incidence of rejection of draftees
throughout the South. It was
pointed out that 40 percent of the
draftees of the south were being
rejected with 1877 being disquali'
flied for mental deficiencies.
whereas the national average fol
the nation as a whole on account
of mental deficiencies was 1853.

You know folks, when 5000

youngish alumni pile out of one
stadium after, the game and

starting fires, and such, it is
time to scratch the old dome
and maybe deduct howcome we
pour so much dinero into a
higher education. Our young
folks could be taught ill-man-
nerS is a much less expensive
procedure than via the big and
costly university campus and
stadium. They could be made
equally uncouth for much less
cash outlay.
Bear in mind, folks, I am
talking now about the gang of
300 - not the other 10000 at
this same big university there
in California where the DEM
o%nstrators demonstrated their
laWless behavior after the game.
I am doing my dome scratching
on how to weed out the 5000
with the bad manners - they
ar the blot on the escutcheon
of the big school. To the other
10000 who are there - and
know why - T doff my skim
mer to them. They will go
places.
And to make a beginning, if
we are bound and determined
to cram Big. School education
into every youth - sometimes
far beyond his capabilities -
then, let the curriculum include
good manners and how to be a
good sport, during the one or
2 years he survives at the
school.
