ern ETC.
But the world of 1925, what
with its jazz and bath-tub gin,
was still a fairly stable place in
which to live. Mass murders were
a relic of the Dark Ages and a
country called Israel was about as
possible as a Democrat becoming
''Mr. Big in the White House.
Young Bernstein sailed across
the Pacific by the Garfield, saw
Manila and the exotic spice is

steamed through the Suez Canal
and into the blue Mediterranean.
Life abroad ship was rugged in
those pre-union days, especially
for guy with a name like Bern
stein. A pair of fast swinging fists
and a sense of humor saw Bern
stein through.
When the ship finally docked
in Jersey City Vic had had his full
of the sea-farers' life. But he was
still required to complete the final
lap of the voyage back to San
Francisco.
While visiting with his family
in New York City the Garfield
sailed and Vic Bernstein found
himself in the role of an uninten-
tional ship-jumper with every
thing he owned in the world still

Coast and a waiting ship, was
still very much alive.
Had anyone told Bernstein then
that one day he would be the Di-
rector Of Public Relations for an
outfit called the Jewish Agency;
that the biggest yarn in his career
would be the story Of a country
called Israel, he would probably
have replied, and with justifiable
amazement: "Who-me?"
His disbelief would have been
heightened even greater were he
informed that six million Jews
were doomed to slaughter in Eur
ope; that as war correspondent

Virgin Islands should continue to
observe the practice established
under the Danish regime and con-
tlnued in force and effect by the
Congress of the United States in
the United States in the 1896 Or
ganlc Act. This practice was to
Tx a permanent number of repre-
sentatives for each electoral dis
trlct. While it is true that this for
mula diSregards the generally ac-
cepted principle of representation
based on population, the justifca-
ton is that in such a small area
where the population changes are
not substantial enough to make a
major difference in the overall
picture, it is more advisable and
practical to disregard the slight
population fluctuations from de-
cade to decade.
Recommendation
1t is my recommendation, there
fore, that there be one legislature
for the Virgin Islands; that it cor
slst of Is representatives and that
they be elected from the five elc-
toral districts in the following r
portions:
Electoral district of St. John l

vided into four electoral districts
Called diViSions) with a total of
"a representatives, of which 8
come from the first division, 4
from the second, Z from the third,
and 5 from the fourth, based on a
formula of IAN apportionment, ac-
cording to the method of equal
proportions, of the total number
Of representatives among the va
rious divisions on the basis Of the
total population Of each division"
Population is also the basis for
the determination of the number
of representatives in the House of
Representatives in the territories
of Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
This being the general practice
adopted, by the Congress Of the
United States in respect Of the
other territories, it is reasonable
to assume that they would res
pond faVourably to a formula for
the Virgin Islands based on the
population of the respective cleo
toral districts. If it is considered
desirable to apply to the Virgin
Islands the formula of representa-
ton by population, examples Of
some of the representation ratios
used in the States of the Union
with small total populations
might be of value. The States of
Arizona and Connecticut have a
formula of one representative for
every $500 population, while the
States Of Maine and Rhode Island
use a formula of one representa-
tive for every 1900 population. It
should be clear from these exam
pies that formulas are derived
with a view to the total number
Of representatives which they will
produce in relation to the total
population.
However, it is my view that the

tinct communities, namely, Chris
tianSted, Frederiksted, ST. Tho
mas, and ST. John. In my view,
these should constitute the four
electoral districts of the Virgin Is
lands. The change necessary to
bring this about would merely be
the merger in the islands of St.
Thomas and st. Croix of the town
and country electoral districts, so
that instead of the town districts
and the country district constitut-
ing, as they now do, separate cleo
toral districts, they would togeth-
er constitute a new electoral dis
trict. The result of this suggestion
would be as follows:
Q) in the island of st. Croix,
the electoral districts would be
reduced from 4 to 2.
(2) in the island of st. Thomas,
the electoral districts would be
reduced from 2 to /.
The foregoing is not intended
to affect in any way the idea of
the election of members or repre-
sentatives at large from the three
islands of the Virgin Islands TAX
en- together as a unit or whole.
To the contrary, as more particu-
larly appears hereinafter, it is my
view hat four members of the
Legislature should be elected at
large from the three islands as a
unit.

sentatives in the Legislature

Many questions arise under this

The Murdoch Bill proposes a
major change by reducing the to-
tai number of electoral districts
from 7 to 3. The new boundaries
of each district under the Muir
dock Bill are the respective is
lands, namely, St. Croix, Saint
Thomas, and St. John. I should
like to suggest an alternative
plan. The theory of representation
is that it is a community Of in
terest whether it be economic, So
cial, cultural, or ethnic which is
entitled to have a voice and to be
represented in the Legislature.

Balanced Decor Requires Specific Decisions
By Gladys Miller

When you've found a place to
live and made general decisions
as to style of furnishings, you
must make specific decisions as
to decor. You must choose colors
for each room. You must decide
to paint or paper. or do both.
1t Is wise to select upholstery
fabrics for your sofa and chairs
to harmonic with wall colors and
the design in the paper you Sc
lected.
How you decorate your walls de-
pends on where you live. the con-
dition of the walls and who does
the work.
If you rent. the owner may
paint. but he will often limit your
choice of color He may provide
a green, beige or gray.
If so, see that the green is not
a light pastel, but just little
lighter than middle value. and
be sure that there is some red

the effect will be cold.
Usually the ceilings are painted
with a water paint rather than
a Semigloss oil. 1t has been Gus
tomary for years automatically to
do the ceilings in an off-white.
Since lighting has become a deco
ratlve as well as functional fac
tor in a room, we have found
that a loom retains better pro-
portions if the ceiling is painted
the same color as the wall, but
three or four shades lighter in
value.
If the room has a higher-than-
average ceiling and if there are
exposed pipes on the ceiling or
in room corners, and if the house
or apartment is situated in a dirty
smoky area, it may be wise TO
pay extra if necessary. and paint
the walls and ceilings a color
darker than middle value.
When a dark color is used. be
sure you have an experienced /
painter. The walls must be put
into good condition and perfectly
sized before the paint is applied.
