A Hornets Nest?

alarm on the proposed Sandusky Bay conservation bill
before the State Legislature In the belief that its passage
might shut off their supply of fish for annual restocking
the local lakes the local group has begun to
notice their toes are being stepped on
Proponents of the bill claim that the Buton sporsmen
have been sed to the belief that the proposed law will shut
of their supply of fish for restocking whereas provisions
made they say for taking of fish from Sandusky Bay for
purposes of restocking.
There nevertheless is still well grounded
ing for believing that for practical purposes the bills passage
will end quarry fishing in Buton The bill proposes that live
fish for restocking be taken from the Bay by the
Conservation Department The Sportsmens club has already
been advised that the Conservation Department longer
supply fish for restocking privately controlled lakes This
it seems, still makes the Sportsmens club argument valid
At least the controversy has stirred up matters and local
club members will have the opportunity hear all sides of it.
Arrangements being made for proponents of the Conser

This Easter season is offering positive answer:

policy in Moscow not to be regarded lightly Simultaneous

given opportunities to translate the spruaized hope of
Easter into dynamic faith What stability, confidence and

appearance Wednesday carrying u

ed with photograph of disheveled
Luther Shelter, assistant professor of
mathematics, in the arms of the local
constabulary-apparently being haul
ed off to Jail in Bluffton's official
"Black Maria"
Charges filed against the math-
ematics instructor, the Witmar-
sum reported were that "He made
derogatory claims with decided
ly. red flavor, regarding mathe-
matical discoveries. Specifically,
he claimed the PhythagOrean
theorem to have been discovered
in 1949 by Iganov Pashilov,
prominent Russian elementary
school janitor."
The Witmarsum continued with 4

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR
THEY ALL PASS


One by one the landmarks fall,
To remind US time is passing on:
Soon nothing old is left, at all,
Material things are quickly done.
The schoolhouse bell is stilled,
And now the townclock's cable
trays!
They stop! Their missions filled;
These things have had their days.
Men, too, are passing from our town,
Their days of work are done;
Some little known, others of renown,
: But passing comes to every one!
We wonder who or what is next;
These things do give us pause
We shed a tear or are perplexed:
Father Time has been the cause.
Things year out to give us new,
All men must die, we know;
"Tis best for towns and you
Changes come that both may grow.
BY Geo. C. Agin
Dear Editor,
The above was inspired by the
temporary Il hope) stopping of the
town clock. I learned to tell time
by looking out my bedroom window
at this old landmark. 1t also timed
our going to school for IL years.
If you wish to publish this-it's
yours.
Yours for a better Bluffton,
Geo. C. Again

FISHING AT BUCKEYE QUAR-
RY will be closed Easter Sunday
until the big Derby which opens on
April 10, but if you hurry you may
be as lucky as Dwight Basinger of
Jenera who landed a 17-inch trout
last week, according to local reports.
HACKENEYED BUT TRUE is the
old saying, "It's a small world" 1t
was proven again recently when Mrs.
Kay Berry Schumacher ran smack
dab into Iris Melicho on the streets
of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Just as
though it might have been Main
street, Bluffton, the two women who
have not seen each other since they
were classmates last year in the
junior class at Bluffton College, stop
ped for long chat.
Miss MelichO, who returned to
her native Puerto Rico, last year,
resides at a distant point from
San Juan on the island. Because
transportation costs are high
there, trips to the 'big city" are
few and far between. 1t was a
rare coincidence that their paths
should cross in such a far-away
place.
SOMETIME AGO this column
mentioned an idea held by Verll
Walker for adding distinction to the
village by the installation at some
point of electrically amplifed clock
chimes, that might upon occasion
play Swiss music box refrains in
keeping with the local Swiss heritage.

acceptance, and another carrying
the word that the Vesper Choir
will sing at the coronation.
Well, on April Fools Day we can
dream anyway, can't we?
BUT 1T rs no APRIL FOOL JOKE,
the large egg you'll see in the News
Window this week from the Harley
Marquart farm. 1t tips the scale at
three quarters of a pound, is six
inches long and has a circumference
of nine inches. Unless there is an
ostrich concealed about the barn OF
an oversize Easter Bunny, Mr.. Mar
quart reasons that it must have been
laid by one of his geese. 1t is the
second one of about the same size he
has discovered in the nests in recent
days.
When he left it at the News
office he was on his way to
Wayne, Ohio, to see if he could
find a market again for his goose
eggs. 1t is difficult to find buy
ers these days as few geese are
kept on modern farms. Last
ed by Wayne hatchery at 80
cents each. At this price, we
know Mr.. Marquart must have
the geese who lay the golden
eggs. Well, why not 80 cents?
One egg the size of that in the
News window should make an
Omelette sufficient for the aver
age family.

ment distributor who has the
type of chime system he had in
mind, and who would be willing
to part with it at an unusual
bargain price. The system which
retails normally in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000 could be picked up
for somewhere around $3.50.
With the need for repairing tn
Town Hall clock and thoughts o
electIifying it, the chime improve

time.
Perhaps one of the community

is the need for more Self-govern-
ment. We want to exercise the
right to elect our Governor. Not
only is this a right which every
American citizen should exercise,
but it will improve our politics
and place greater responsibility
of self-support on our people. II
will encourage the operation of a,
two-party system, which is bad
" needed. 1t will force a large
number Of our responsible citi-
.zens who shirk their political du-
ties, to take an active part in po-

the attempt Of a number Of indi-
viduals in our communities, to cir
cumvent the Government of the
People Of the Virgin Islands by
trying to have our Government
run by remote control from Wash.

We urgently and most sincerely
request thai any assistance that
you can render to the people of
the Virgin Islands in this respect
be given your fullest attention.

STATEMENTS
BY Hon. III e. Rohlsen
fconc1uded)

tAAC ycdAA blE present
Organic Act In the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1883, local revs-
nres raised in the Virgin Islands
were approximately $I,94s078. Al
majority Of local taxes now in
force and effect were unheard Of
in 1895. This is surely an indica-
ton that we are attempting to
reach the goal Of self-support.
It must be realized that the cost
of Government has spiralled, in
keeping with high costs evil
denced elsewhere.
Charges have been made that
our Government is too costly and
overburdened. In the light Of
facts these charges cannot be sub
Stimulated. / refer you to the Do,
cument entitled Hearings before
the Sub-C ommittee Of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, House
Of Representatives, 83rd Congress
First Session. Part ~ covering
pages 4l8 to 421, which shows
clearly, that our cost of Govern
ment is several times lower, on a
per capita basis, than any other
state or territory In order to full
" realize the impact Of the Elf
cheney III the cost Of Government,
here, we must also consider the
fact that the materials and suppl
les used II running Dur Govern
ment, cost about twice as much as
in the United States.
Speaking Of the cost Of Govern
ment, the Legislature has been
blamed as contributing to this
cost by receiving remuneration
for services rendered. The facts
are that we receive a basic salary
of $4,000 a month for the st.
Croix Members, except the Chair
man and the three members Of
the Municipal Committee who
are allowed an additional $25.O0
per month as compensation for
the additional work and respon-
sibility. In st. Croix we hold a
So
formal meeting each week and
several informal meetings and
conferences. When attending the
Legislative Assembly we meet
twice a month in st: Croix to
handle the most important items
that require our immediate at
tention, We are compensated for
attendance to sessions Of the Lee
gislative Assembly at the rate Of
$1,000 per day. The members for
st. Croix receive subsistence in
addition to compensation at the
rate Of $1,000 per day. Out Of a
cost of approximately $3,000,000
in operating the Government of
the Virgin Islands for the fis,
cal year. l952-53. the cost Of opera
ting the Legislative Branch Of Go
vernment was $4,000. This in
cludes all cost in the operation of
the Municipal Council Of ST. Tho
mas & st. John, The Municipal
Council Of St. Croix and the Lee
, 1953-12-04

latl0n appears 70 pc reasonable.
In our effort to be self-support-
ing, there are several hanaicaps
in our way that should be
brought to the attention Of your
committee.
In the promotion Of Tourist De.
.velopment, we need adequate
docking facilities. A small pro-
ject Of this nature was authorized
and appropriations passed by.
Congress, but has not yet mate-
rallied.
If a loan could be made avail
BILE to- the Municipality, such q
project could be realized&be able
to liquidate the investment cost
within 20 years. We respectfully
urge you to assist us IN this direc
ton. The extension Of our rum
way to facilitate tourist travel by
air is also important. In this re-
spect all the plans have been
made. We have earmarked$25 900
for this project, hoping to have
received in accordance with the
Airport Act, administered by the
Civil Aeronautics Authority, the
remainder of $4,000. needed for
this project. We understand that
this has not been appropriated,
due to reduction in expenditures
Of Federal Funds by the new adj
ministration. We urge you to give.
this matter your consideration
and valuable assistance.
To attract tourist and private
capital to invest in the building
Of hotels, tourist accommodations
and facilities, it is necessary to
advertise This is expensive and.
requires capital which our local.
economy cannot afford These
things can be accomplished to put
us on the road to self-support, by
the return of Internal Revenue
Taxes, which should be used pri-
marily to build up our local eco
which should reflect itself
in larger local revenues and even
self-sustenance.
In ST.. Croix our agricultural
economy needs to be fully deve-
We are confronted with a
labor shortage in this respect.
The lack Of adequate financing to
assist farmers with proper work
ing capital and to finance the pur
chase Of equipment,in an attempt
to overcome the labor problem, is
appalling.
The operation Of the Virgin Is
Corporation is the only
means by which our agricultural
economy has so far been able to
survive. We should think in terms
Of gradually shifting this respon-
sibility from a government opera
ton to a cooperative operation
conducted by local farmers. In

IAction Urged
lon nFIoq Bill

House passage Of the Flag Bill
before Flag Day next Sunday
was urged by Miss Gertrude Car
raway, president general Of the
OAR, in letters sent over the
week end to members of the
House Judiciary Committee.
The bill. requiring that the
Stars and Stripes be flown above
any other flag on United States
territory. was passed unanimous
ly by the Senate last Monday.
Miss Carraway urged that the
Judiciary Committee of the
House Immediately report out
the measure so that it could
