DON'T BE ATV TYRANT
by Louise FroehIich Gibson

Tod0ys contribution is by THIS WEEK reader in
Plymouth. Mich
Nd EMEMBER when you used to invite friends over
IL just to talk, to find out what they thought of
military training and the high-school principal.
to kid them about their bridge game and indulge in
that pleasant home grown humor which thrives
best in your living room?
That was in the days before 16-inch screen
came into your life. Now when you invite your old
friends, Lucy and Walt over for evening, there's
no time for idle chatter. You turn the set on and
before you know it, it's ii O'Clock - Lucy and
Walt have to rush home to relieve the baby sitter
You've heard the newest comedian give his spiel
and seen the juggling sensation of New York and
the roller derby, but have you had chance to talk
to Lucy and Walt? Or don't you care? Well, for
goodness sake, if you don't why invite them at
all? You might as well have been sitting next to
someone in a movie theater.
EVERYBODY likes to watch television and you can
use your set in entertaining just as you do food -
by selecting what your guests will like. Helen likes
music and you think she'd enjoy the symphony
All right, ask her over for the program. If Hal is
hockey fan, treat him to game. If Lucy and Walt
are Durante fans, they'd love to watch the show
But when that show is over and you find yourself
watching programs just to be doing something turn
the set off. You may not believe it but maybe your
visitors travelled 20 miles to your house to see yow
Then talk about the program you've just seen
and of other things, too Friends are people you
want to exchange thoughts with. If you don't care
what they think you might as well confine your rela
tionships to the women next to you in the butcher
shop - you won't know your friends" any better
HOW DO YOU TREAT your claildren's friends?

the
LowRent Public Housing Program
In the Virgin Islands
and what has been accomplished
thus far, l would like to tell YOU
something about its background
and its effect on the community
from both a social and economic
standpoint. The low-rent public
housing program first saw the
light of day in 1887 was the pas
sage by the Congress of the Unit
ed States Housing Act. The
Housing Act recognized that the
first step in eliminating sub
standard housing was to make
good housing available. In 1850

States Housing Act of 1897 recog-
nized, in its declaration of Ma

Telephone Communication
Facilities
Construction of new telephone
communication facilities on the
island of st. Thomas and ST. Croix
in the total amount of 1898, 982 is
underway. These projects consist
of an outside cable plant, sub
scriber stations and switchboards
on both island, and the construc-
ton of telephone exchange build
ings at Charlotte Amalie,
Christiansted, and Frederiksted.
Due to the shortage of strategic
materials, it was necessary to pur-
chase the cable for the outside
cable plant from Italy. This cable
was thoroughly tested before ship
ping by engineers representing
Lloyds of London who were en-
ployed for this purpose, and it
was spot-checked it Italy by our
consulting engineer. These pro-
jects are designed on the basis of
a central battery system. It is be-
lieved that they will be complet-
ed very close to schedule, not
later than June Is, 1852.
