DIRECTOR DAVIS CONCERN

IREC1OR DAVIS CONCERN
DIRECTOR JAMES +. DAVIS Of the Office Of Terri
tories Department Of interior, has become so disturbed over
certain conditions in the Islands that he saw fit to write to
the press, calling attention to these conditions, and admonish-
ing our people to avoid the pitfall Of dissension and misunder-
standing thus undermining all the benefits which to date
have come from the federal government and the American
people as 4 whole.
DIRECTOR DAVIS, views must not be taken lightly,
not because Of his position, but because there is need to call
attention to certain matters which could affect these islands
adversely. And these conditions have obtained for some time.
IT IS therefore most appropriate that steps Be taken here and
now. But before going further, it might Be well to meet head
on any loose talk which certain quarters might make to the
effect that the position taken BY this paper is in an effort to
appease and pacfy. AS always the attempt here is to look at
the situation as it actually exists, and take the stand which
we see and are convinced should be taken.
MUCH Of WHAT MI. Davis says has merit, and we
agree that the Virgin Islands have received considerable
direct Federal aid, and we believe that everyone is fully
aware Of that fact and words Of appreciation have many
hines been mentioned. However, there have been services
and conditions from which these Islands have been excluded
which made necessary such large deficiency appropriations
For example, if the thorny problem Of the Internal Revenue
Taxes were ever settled land these taxes run into milions)
it might not have been necessary to make such heavy direct.
appropriations. But that is another matter which should not
cause a detour from the discussion at hand.
IT IS TIME that the entire Virgin group realizing the
need for cooperation and closer understanding drop the
many little grievances, many Of which are entirely without
basis, and devote itself to the larger task Of improving social
economic, and political aspects If our life One spot where
We might begin IS il assuming i different attitude with re-
ference to problems and matters over which there are differ
ences. Politicians and average citizens alike must not be mis-
led into the utterly mistaken concept that a difference Of
, 1952-03-18

opinion Immediately gives Il
cense to resort to vicious
abuse and utilization. Wheth-
er it IS admitted Of not, the.
extreme violence with which
many Of our problems have.
been attacked has consider
able disfavor for Us in the eyes
Of official Washington. Our
contention is that while men
may and do differ, there is alb
solutely no reason for the COM
plete bitterness & Hciousness
with which these differences
are characterized. And this is
but one aspect. There are
many others.
FOR many years q running
feud has gone on between
groups at home and their
brothers and sisters on the
mainland. We venture to say
that if a careful examination
were made, it would be found
that the great percentage Of
these were without rhyme or
reason, and that the exercise
Of a little understanding, with
the welfare Of the Islands
placed above everything else,
that these useless wranglings
would long have been elimi
mated. What really happens is
that after we have fought
among ourselves our com
bined strength for action
where most needed is weak
ened.
DIRECTOR Davis contends
that doubts might be raised in
the minds Of many as to our
readiness to assume full re-
possibility for selftgovern-
ment, if we continue to focus
all our effort on un-important
matters. While this might be-
true, yet is is not necessarily
50, even though self-govern-
ment would be postponed in
such a situation as he depicts.
Our plea is to avoid these

Challenge to Architect.
Builder and architect of the

slope of the triangular lot and the
requirements of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank constituted a challenge.
The triangle is approximately 81
feet by 257 feet, with sufficient
space. after construction was COM

What the owners desired in
building was a convenient house,
keeping home for a couple, re-
Iquiring only two regular bedrooms.
However, they contemplated q
home somewhat larger than the
average two-bedroom house, with
provisions for the emergency ac-
commodation of an overnight
guest and space ample enough for
informal entertainment. Such a
house they now possess, complete
with garage and storage attic.
The house is sloped to fit into
the narrow end of a triangle,

small end. The split-level design
affords economies by conforming
to the contour of the ground

The average American home
erected within the last 10 to Is
years has turned out to be too
nearly air-tight. 1t has been so
snugly constructed in an effort to
step up the efficiency of its heat
ing plant, as well as to keep it
comfortable in summer, that it
Is often a poorly ventilated house.
This results in some serious
trouble. Letters from many owners
of newer homes tell Of paint
blistering and peeling of their
houses, wallpaper staining and
loosening, window and door
hardware corroding and rusting.
While condensation of excess
moisture is the immediate cause
of such damage, the real villain
in the case is lack of controlled
ventilation.
It used to be that houses leaked
enough air through floor and wall
cracks and around windows and
doors to keep them adequately
ventilated. One ordinary, we'll
fitted window, for example, will
leak enough air in even a 20-mile
wind (Which isn't much of a blow
to change the air in a sized
room every hour.
i Because that means wasted
heat, Misunderstanding and storm
sash are used to cut that leakage
down to a negligible minimum.
Then the use of large sheets of
modern building materials, such
as plywood or gypsum Sheathing,
tough sisal-felted building papers,
blankets Of insulation and tight
vapor seals in walls and ceilings
have largely eliminated cracks
to point where houses can't
breathe like they used to.
Not Enough Outside Air.
"Such good job has been done
with modern building methods" !"
observes one heating expert,
that the normal air leakage in q

one-third to one-half the amount
found in an older house. Modern
weathertight houses may have as
little as one-half an air change
each hour. This often is made
quate to supply the amount of
outside air the family needs for
Its comfort and health"
That commentator. a manu-
facturer of heating equipment,
contends that the modern house
needs not only a heating plant,
but a heating and ventilating
system.
Heating in winter and GOODNESS
in summer are not enough for
complete comfort. Seven requisites

The ideal method, If you use q

would be to bring the fresh air

could be tempered and filtered to

OF course. there is nothing new
In doing that in schools and large
commercial installations, but costs
have been a restraining factor
in adopting the system for homes.

the cost of installing a fresh all

This outside air can be con-

Drafts and heat wastage from

Excess humidity tends to be re-

the fresh air from the outside, on
being heated and blended, has the
capacity to pick up surplus mois-
