Fellow citizens Of the Virgin Islands in St. croix, St. Thomas
and st. John:
During the last few months or weeks Of my administered
ton, shall chat with you on Wednesday evenings only when
have matters of more than ordinary significance to discuss
Tonight / have several matters OF some Importance upon
which / wish to comment. May I say, once again. that u. this,
the closin period of my many years Of service to the PEG
pie of our islands, resulting as you know from the change
of administration, I shall as ever be on the alert to protect
the interests of the United States as well as the interests of
the Virgin Islands. | shall continue to perform my tasks to
the utmost of my ability, until the moment when my success
sor takes office. And / shall continue to act in all matters as
my conscience dictates and as God gives me the light to do
the right.
The Charge Of Un-American Forces said TO be at work heres:
Last week / received a copy of a letter written by a resi-
dent Of our community to the Legislative Assembly OF the
Virgin Islands, with copies to high executive and legislative
officials in Washington, charging that certain labor leglsla-
ton which has beeen proposed BY members OF the Assem-
bly, in Committee of the Whole, is not only detrimental to the
economy Of the islands but, I'M effect, is being sponsored by
forces at work in our Islands which are contrary to the Ameri
can way of life. This is a statement. which for the sake OF the
Wholesome reputation of our islands cannot be allowed to
remain dormant. If there are un-American forces at work in
our islands, they must be exposed and then rooted out with
all the. vigor we can command. If the statement is based on
a misconception of fact or on erroneous information that. too
should be made known publicly.
Now it is one thing to say that a proposed bill may be
disastrous to the economy of the islands. That phase can and
should adequately be handled under the democratic process
SEES OF government, viz: the right of the people to petition for
redress of grievances; their right to beSheard;at their right OF
equal protection of the laws; the constitutional function OF
the legislature to pass laws and the executive to approve or
to veto them. But it is quite another and more serious thing
to saw that certain laws are conceived by forces within or
without that may be communistic and un-American. That
statement has dangerous implications. Our islands have al.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: Re-
Gently my husband and I were
invited to the wedding Of the
son Of my husbands niece. My
husbands sister has four chill
dren who were invited, but our
three daughters were not. Was
this right? "A READER.
ANSWER: Since we are COM
ing into a season of weddings,
I hope the answer to this ques-
tion will save some wounded
feelings during the next few
months. The problem of whether
or not a particular person is
asked to wedding is not one
so much Of being right" as of
being expedient. No wedding
party could include all the
guests who want to be invited.
A line must be drawn some
where, and it is evidence of ma
ture Judgment II the apparently
neglected one can realize that
there is nothing personal about
the omission. In the case de-
scribed above, there may have
been a closer bond between one
set of cousins than between an
other. The relationship is suf-

The best insurance against
communism and socialism is for
every wage Garner to be a part
owner in American business and
industry, the Twentieth Century
Club was told yesterday.
Then. people would be care
full Of taking pot shots at our
free enterprise system which is
really the reason we're the
strongest country in the world" ="
George M. Ferris, jr., declared at
the clubs monthly meeting at
the YWCA.
Mr.. Ferris, who is an invest
ment analyst and broker. gave
the clubwomen a few pointers on
how to invest in the stock mar
ket.
He drew a laugh when he said
that brains are not necessary to
be a successful investor. But,
he added, Courage becomes the
supreme virtue in the world Of
investments"
The genuine investor, he said
buys when the people are pessi-
mistic and sells when they're
optimistic. mo one can make
large profits by doing the obvious
and popular thing" he pointed

Advice Given Club Members
OnHoWt Invest Money

Before anyone buys stock, he
warned however, he should have
an emergency fund, such as q
savings account or Government
bonds, to fall back on. There Is
no guarantee that you'll get
equal return for the dollar you
invest. but It's a safe bet that
if you buy securities Of the high.
est grade companies and diver
sify your investments, that you'll
get satisfactory results. he added.
Mutual fund programs now
make it possible for people with
small incomes to invest in stocks,
Mr.. Ferris pointed out. BY pool
ing tn cir investments with
others. they leave the worry Of
what to buy and sell to an ex-
perienced and wise broker and
get the benefits of large inves-
tors, he explained.
Buying stock in large corpo-
rations is a good risk. Mr.. Ferris
declared, because you're invest
ing in the chronological and in
dustrial growth of the country.
"And placing your future with
the future of your country is q
good gamble I think" he added.
Mrs. James Austin Stone,
president of the club, conducted

Sam Royburn
Speaker at
7 exus Fete
By Mury [. Voughon

The spotlight was on Texas
yesterday at a luncheon Of the
Woman's National Democratic
Club in honor Of the citizens Of
that State.
Top ranking guest and speaker
was Texas Mr.. Democrat" Sam
Rayburn, former Speaker Of the
House and now: Minority Leader.
Mr.. Rayburn, who last
Wednesday celebrated the ami
versary Of his first 40 years In
Congress, told his audience he
was going to speak on the sub
ject, "The Record Of the Repub-
lican Party" Il
"The record Of the Republican
Party" he repeated. "Well, there
isn't much to speak about"
His all-Democratic audience
appreciated the quip.
In a more serious vein, Mr..
Rayburn took to task Republi-
cans criticism, during the last
campaign, Of the Yalta and Pots
dam pactS.
He said the Republicans were
originally going to tear the Yalta
and Potsdam agreements apart
and started to get up a resolu-
ton of deep condemnation un-
til some one, in the State De-
partment. I presume, read the
agreements"
The resultant anti-enSlave-
ment resolution, he pointed out,
did not mention Yalta and Pots
dam. He predicted it is headed
for obscurity.
"They are going to get into
deep water starting out to amend
a thing like that and I'm afraid
are going to get into such con-
fusion that they ultimately will
lay it aside and do nothing
about It,"
Mr.. Rayburn had a plaudit for
Secretary Of the Treasury Hum
phrey who, he said, has made
about as good an impression
around this town as anybody in
the cabinet"
He also had a word Of praise
for Budget Director Dodge but
added, "It would be a good idea
II the Republicans would get to-
gether and send up q budget Of
their own-instead of working
on Mr.. Truman'S budget"
The Republicans, Mr.. Rayburn
said, are not out Of the CONVEX
Sational stage yet. "It's easy to
make promises when you don't
have the responsibility" he
added.
Mr.. Rayburn said Agriculture
Secretary Benson doesn't know
yet what he is going to do about
the farmers of this country.
On that subject he added, eff
the 80 million people on the
farms Of this country do not
have good buying power, then
prosperity is over and hard times
will come"
Focal point Of the luncheon
was a "chuck wagon" barbecue
set up in the main dining room,
complete with canopy, gourd
trimmings and q brass COW bell
for calling "the hands" to order.
Club walters, decked out in red
neck "kerchiefs" and chefs hats
served the "Texas" barbecued
chicken with corn sticks, rice and
salad.
Guests were seated at indi-
vidual tables covered with red
checkered cloths and decorated
with cactus plants. ...
Mrs. Harvey Young was pro-
gram chairman for the luncheon.
The guest speaker was intro
duced by Mrs. Dali Miller, club
member from Texas.

TAXES $ WHY AND WHEREFORE

-2
FAXES = WHY N WHEREFORE
TO TIE majority Of taxpayers a tax is nothing
but a useless and highly unnecessary burden which the gov
eminent imposes for no other reason than il has the power
to do 50. Most, therefore, pay their taxes without stopping
to understanding the why's and wherefores. Grudgingy they
60 to whatever Office is assigned and pay on the deadlne
date, breathing a sigh Of relief that this burden is over for
the time being at least.
IT IS NO THE purpose Of this editorial to defend or
palliate the matter of taxes. Rather this is an attempt to ca-
rify. In this way it might be possible to get across the idea
that taxes are pure and simple the contribution made for the
actual running Of organized government.
IN ANY FORM Of democratic government, the people
elect their representatives who in turn pass laws and run the
affairs Of government. To maintain hospitals, roads, public
schools, law and order through 4 police force, sanitation pro-
grams, and the countless other services calls for money which
must be paid by the very people who enjoy and gain benefits
from these services. Of course, the higher the cost Of living
the higher will be the cost Of running and maintaining these
services.
IN THE Virgin Islands a somewhat different situation
obtains. In the first place, and through no fault Of our own,
we are not self supporting. Secondly because Of this condi-
ton there are many services which we do not have, and
which, if we do have, must be made secondary.
KNOWING H SITUATION to be what it is the Iegis-
latue has the grave responsibility Of giving the public the
greatest possible benefit Of sound, considered action in tax
matters. If the members Of the Council forget that responsible
lily and force themselves to be extravagant in the. face OF
difficult economic problems, then these members are indeed
b~etrayfng their sacred trust
THEN THERE IS another aspect Of taxes which IS fire.
quently forgotten. And more harm than good IS done where
irresponsible people lead q campaign against taxes without
giving all sides of the picture. A rather extended example,
though unlikely, might bring out this point A considerable
amount of money could be saved # all grades above the ninth
