We are in need Of this iden-
teal economic assistance the
States Government has
found necessary for the social,
economical, and political
growth Of foreign countries
such as South America,
Europe and Asia. The only diff
ference is the fact that Virgin
Islands produce will be the
means Of financing our pro-
gram rather than increased
taxation ii the United States.
Failure Of Congress to sup
port VS. on the above points
will only result ia a continued

continued and increasing de-
hcit appropriations; continued
Federal aid Of many types; all
resulting IN increased cost Is

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY q, 1852
Submitted to the Subcommittee Of the House
Committee on Interior & Insuldr Affuirs BY
the Orgunic Act Committee Of the Legis-
lutive Assembly Of the Virgin Islunds

Let Us see if this situation is
as It appears to be and if all
the facts involved have been
well considered.
Import duty Of $500 per gal
Ion, has been collected into
the treasury Of the United
States on each gallon Of Viz
gin Islands rum sold in the
United States.
During 1850 the Virgin Is
lands exported to the United
States 648,OO gallons Of rum
on which import duties
amounting to Approximately
six million dollars were col
Iected. TO date the Virgin IS
lands rum industry alone, has
provided the means whereby
the treasury Of the United.
States has been enriched by
over sixty-four million dollars.
This represents more money
than the government Of the
United States has expended.
on the government Of the Vir-
gin Islands;
If the acquisition Of these
islands was for the purpose Of
creating a source whereby the
United States Government
could increase her tax rev.
enues, the business has surely
paid off. Such being the case
the charge that we are q bur-
den to the taxpayer in the
United States could never be-
justified # the treasury Of the
United States was ~expending
more on the upkeep Of the Vir
gin Islands than II has been
deriving from the taxes levied
on Virgin Island products,
then it could be said that we
are not earning our keeps.
However. this is not the case.

Guam in accordance with an

The people Of the Virgin Is
lands cannot concede the
inability Of their duly elected
representatives, together with
their Chief Executive, to act
wisely and responsibility in the
expenditure Of public funds.
Why should these restrictions
be imposed on the Govern
ment of the Virgin Islands and
not on the Government Of.
Puerto Rico or Guam?
Puerto Rico less than eighty
miles away with economic
conditions much alike the Vir-
gin Islands, enjoy the benefit
of the Internal Revenue taxes.
These revenues to the treasury
of Puerto Rico is being used
to bolster its economy, to.
create employment and in
crease sources Of local revenue.
and to eventually make the
island self-supporting. We are
badly in need Of an Identical
program.
In addition, these funds are
being used to subsidize the
rum industry Of Puerto Rico,
which places the rum industry.
in the Virgin Islands in an ex-
tremely unfair position. It.
amounts to the same as if the
United States Government
subsidize the farmer in Iowa
and not the farmer IN Kansas
The people Of the Virgin
Islands would like to enjoy the
same privileges as the other
territories, with respect to the
proceeds Of internal Revenue
Collections imposed on pro-

States for the Virgin Islands

provides for coverage into the

Local Dimes March
Starts January 2

The campaign for polio-fghting
funds will get under way in thou
sands of home towns of the nation
on January 2. The March of Dimes
campaign period has been doubled
because the National Foundation
has been forced into debt four years
in succession by surging polio Incl
dence.
During the last four years,
the foundation and its chapters
have spent SIS, 000, 900 in March
Of Dimes funds for patient care
charges alone, as compared
with SAL 900, 900 in the previous
ten-year span.
This situation was brought about
not only by rising costs but also
because there were more cases
during the last four years than in
the entire previous decade.
Added to increased costs and in
creased incidence has been third
factor that has compounded the
difficulties of the National Founda-
ton. Polio doesn't just hit and

France, Germany See
New Year Same as U.S..

In the countries of FRANCE and
Germany. the New Year is cele-
brated in much the same manner
as in the United States, with the
larger cities taking on carnival
air.
Czechoslovakia and the countries
nearby mark the New Year with
visits and pompous official recep-
tions. The tables in these countries
are all piled high with food and
feasting is in order on the eve and
also on New Years day. The ex-
change of presents is also observed.
The Greeks place a gold coin in
large cake baked especially for
the New Year celebration. The
cake is not cut until the New Year
has arrived and, then, the person
receiving the coin in his slice of
cake is considered to have much
good luck in store for him in the
months ahead.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1952-01-04

Modern times have changed-and
none for the better-our manner of
celebrating the New Year.
1t was once a popular custom to
spend the last three hours of the
year singing hymns and giving
thanks for blessings received. This
watchnight, while it might have
been unpleasant for the younger
generation, was an excellent prepa-
ration for whatever lay in the year
ahead. 1t was somewhat grounded in
tradition, as was the old custom of
graciously paying and receiving
calls.
The downfall of this manner Of re-
ceiving the New Year was started
soon after the Civil War, when the
prodiglous growth of the larger
American cities caused them to be-
gin to lose the home-spun aroma
and take on the faster, more ex-
citing tempo of city life.
AS time wore on, it became more
and more the custom to make the
New Years eve time for indulging
in one more last fling before the
disagreeable business of turning
over new leaf.

It is that time of the year when
people look to the calendar on the
wall and remark, Another year
gone"
True enough, the last leafiet Of
the year 1851 will soon be taken
from the wall, yet each of US have
gained much more than we have
lost during the time it was with US.
Looking back over the span of a
dozen months we can all see little
patterns of sorrow and happiness
perhaps much more of one than the
other. And yet, somehow, they don't
seem to impress us as much as they
did in their brief moment of exis-
tence. They seem now but separate
pieces of pattern that make up a
one complete picture. If we look
closely we may see that this picture
is simply reflection of all our past
experiences.
Yes, 1851 is almost gone. But it
does not disappear from us COM
pletely. In living through the year,
day by day, we have known expert
ences that have nodded and shaped
US into the person that we are to-
day; looking forward to a new year
and new experiences.

tons today are priced for every

A man could travel every

Z'N/N ~ NJ also in the guam
tity which they prefer. Sitting at
the table and being served by host
or hostess, they may get more than
they want on their plates, and food
is consequently wasted.
For the hostess, buffet style serv-
ing is simple, too, as everyone I'M
derstands that he must take care
of his own plate. 1t saves time and
energy, too, to have the food all
set out, and then there's no running
back to the kitchen when second or
third helpings are on call.
Another good feature of buffet
style entertaining is the lack of
having to have many of the foods
piping hot. Baked ham or turkey
can be served warm, for example,
and all other foods may be of the
"chilled" type.
If desired, the main dish may be
hot, but this is no problem as you
can serve casserole which is easy
to keep hot. Dreamed foods can be
served in chatting dishes, and this
makes for easy and attractive serv-
ice.
Here's a guaranteed o please
menu which will make for easy
serving, as well as preparation.

fore roasting as it will probably be
served sliced. and warm.
