there is no team to match Boston,
so rich in talent that since last

Englishmen showed even more
power than had been expected.

has rarely been seen in the United

Stonn Selects Yonks
For Fourth Place,
PhiIIies for Third
By Froncis Stonn

Thirty-nine years ago the
Boston Red Sox and New York
Giants clashed in a World Series
that lives IN memory because a
muffed fly ball by Fred Snodgrass
cost the Polo Grounders victory.
Today, on the eve of the big
league baseball openings, it's the
prediction here that Steve ONeill's
Red Sox and Leo Durocher's
Giants will prevail and meet in a
World Series for a second time.
They are picked to overthrow
the New York Yankees and the
Philadelphia Phillies, respectively.
The Yankees may finish no better
than fourth, due to the inroads of
age and ailments, and the Phillies
may learn to their dismay that
loss of Curt Simmons to the Army

surprised if Bucky Harris will be
able to match his feat of last year

NO REASSESSING AT THIS I
THE PEOPLE OF this island must begin to assert them
selves, and make the authorities aware of public reaction to
matters which affect everyone. For years we have been sitting,
with hands folded, doing nothing but g%rumbling in low tones,
and on occasion we seem to ride" some local person, and
thereby get satisfaction.
WHEN GOVERNOR de Castro ordered a reassessment
OF real property, he was accomplishing via executive order
what could not be done via added taxation. We hope that we
are wrong in this thesis, but all appearances point to this con
clus1on. And it this is the case, then the people of this place
ought to Hood the office of Tax Assessor with written protests
OF every description. Perhaps it would be felt that such a
move would be unavailing, but there can be no doubt that
some effect would be felt.
SENATOR BUTLER makes mention of our political i'm
maturity. He has reference, no doubt, to the fact that we at
tack our public officials in language that is not too becoming
However, there is a very effective way of letting officials
know OF public displeasure, and that is to petition, conduct
public meetings, and write letters and send cablegrams. In
factthis is the way that the American public behaves. And
it works, for there is no Senator OF Representative who is
strong enough to ignore thousands of letters and kilograms
A clear proof of this is the hestancy of Congress to pass legs-
lation for the drafting Of l8-year-old boys.
REAL ESTATE IS the most permanent of all possessions
and while It's value tends to change with the overall economy
Of any plans, yet the reassessing of values is done very reluc-
family, and only after much careful thought and study. And
then with the approval and consent of the legislature. The
reason for this is rather obvious. Where real property is
shifted in its value with the wind, the problem arises as to
what to do when economic conditions Justify a lowering of as
sessment. Such a system will call for changing up and down
at whim. The better method is to adjust the tax which can be
shifted more easily, and according to conditions, as they
warrant.
THERE 81 IS NO question but that property owners dis
like the reassessment; and they would prefer that there be no
resort to this method of raising revenues. There is a way to

This week our column will
be devoted to answering the
following questions which
have been submitted to us by
several of our readers:
, 1951-02-20
ANSWER:

YES, provided your maid works
for you at least "a days in the
calendar quarter & receives from
you at least $4,000 in cash wages
during the same quarter. Her sta
tus as a citizen is not a factor and
does not enter into the picture.
If she works and meets the "a
Day-50 Dollar Test, both she and
her employer must comply with
the Social Security Laws.
, 1951-02-20

l employ a maid from Tortola
who does general household work
in my home. Since she is not a
citizen, is she entitled to a social
security card and is her employ
er required to deduct social secur
ity taxes from her wages?
, 1951-02-20

Can l make voluntary payments
of social security taxes, if neces-
sary paying also the employers
share of the tax, so that l may
gain additional quarters of cover
age and increase the benefits l
will get at the age of IS?
, 1951-02-20

NO, voluntary payment pay
ments of social security taxes ale
not permissible. Social Security
taxes are specified by law and
are assessed only on the taxable
wages of an employed wage-earn-
er or the taxable net income of
an individual who is self-employ-
ed. Entitlement to social security
benefits can be obtained only by
working on jobs covered by the
social security laws or by working
for ones self in a trade or bust
ness which is now subject to So
cial security.
