New Clothing Firm
Muy Move to ST. Croix
If Denied Exemption


AS q result Of a protest fiji
ed BY Elverhoi against the APP
plication for Tax Exemption
Of the Dell Corporation that
firm which opened a clothing
factory only two weeks ago,
may close its doors in st. Tho
mas, should the final decision
be against them.
The corporations request
for tax exemption was grant
ed BY the Tax Exemption
Board, and was sent to the
Governor for f nal approval
when Elverhoj submitted its
protest, stating that its invest
ment in 1947 was ii excess Of
$4,000. Under the tax exemp-
ton Law, no business can
qualify for tax exemption #
there was in existence q SINH
lar business with an inves
f1ent Of at least $4,000 in
1947. The Board is now study
-
ing the accounts Of Elverhoj
to determine the validity Of
its claim.
The president Of the corpora
ton, who has expressed Dis
gust at the procedure, was
said to be exploring the pos
sibility Of 81 hitting the indus
try to st. Croix. Other inter
ested groups who would like
to see the industry remain in

ploring the possibility Of max

cation or to the law in the
event the original application
is rejected on technical

Senate Cloakroom
BY J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

March 18th is now passed Your
income tax has undoubtedly been
paid, albeit reluctantly, your saw
ings account has probably been
considerably reduced and am
sure you are now wondering what
Congress will do about reducing
taxes.
1t is trite but true that most
Legislators are in favor Of all tax
reduction bills and all appropri-
alton bills. The cynical claim this
is a sure way to be reelected.
What is an honest answer to the
possibilities of tax reduction? A
completely frank reply would be
that for the immediate future it is
not good, but, barring a great
emergency, the outlook for the
next couple OF years is much
brighter.
President Eisenhower has stated
that the budget must be balanced
before taxes are reduced. but
added, (which doesn't mean you
may not reform taxes"
The Presidents desire to have a
balanced budget is, in my opinion,
very sound. An unbalanced budget
leads to initiation and a cheapening
of money which always results in
higher prices and more initiation.
A sound economy is always based
on a balanced budget
The administration believes it
can present a balanced budget to
the Congress next year.
Now what are tba nossibilitios Of
fax reform > This is field in
which | believe the Congress can
be of great service to the people.
A good place to start would be by
eliminating some of the ineduities
in the income tax law.
Tho avo,.soo family fo,ros i+s
own tav and most Of tbom cam
claim only na,.sonaI ovemntions
When they write in only 5000 as
personal exemption they UNI
doubtedly feel that it is ridiculous
ly low.

lids off the various pans and ket-

says. my dear, you aren't boiling
these potatoes for Jim are you?
He likes them much better fried"
11:04. Mother-in-law opens all
the cupboard doors in the kitch-
en-, to see what Is on hand.
11:07 I'm. Mother in-law drifts
into the bedroom to powder her
nose; looks in the closet and
also pulls open several bureau
drawers for inspection.
HOO am. Mother-in-law in
quires. Have you any of Jim's

many more pounds can gain
and still be on the safe side?"

around 135 pounds. You are
overweight. However, at your
age little weight is good health
insurance and you should not
diet in a faddish way. Send q

A. Follow your Doctors sug-
gestion. You should lose an
other 10 pounds. Your hips and
bust are In perfect ratio but
you would profit by a couple Of
waist and abdominal exercises
If your doctor gives you permis-
sion to exercise now. Your
waist should be two inches
smaller than it is for your other
measurements. This, no doubt,
comes from the relaxation of
muscles due to pregnancy.
Q. "Is there anything to do
about small broken veins under
the nose and on its bridge? Will
they disappear or will these
veins become more pronounced
through the years?
A. This condition may become
more pronounced through the
years but this is not necessarily
true. They can be removed by
several methods but you would

most readers an idea Of how the
drama ends. 1t ends with mother

make the pumpkin pie while

over the well-meaning inquisi-

minutes to reduce the young

Mother-in-law's intentions are
of the best; she really thinks
she is showing her interest and
her desire to be useful even at
inconvenience to herself. What
she is really illustrating is the
reason why "in-law problems"
are cited as the most common
single cause of divorce during
the first year of marriage.
The moral is plain enough.
Every mother-in-law will do well
to look on herself as a guest
and behave accordingly, and
meanwhile get so many new in

low her son Tor daughter) into

Cake Bukinu Tip

When you are baking a layer
cake put the pans into the oven
so that they do not touch each
other or the oven walls. A good
way is to arrange them diagon-
ally on a shelf. If two shelves are
used for baking the cake the
pan on the lower shelf should
be placed in the opposite drec-
ton from that on the top shelf.
A layer cake pan should never
be placed directly below or above
another.

4 They drink, generally, with
moderation because that is the
prevailing custom. 1t reflects the
usages of each individuals social
group. and to that extent college
drinking reflects the ways of
American society.
:. Advice is more likely to be
respected and needed if the in
formation ON which it is based is
solid. If out of fear or ignorance,
drinking is described to young
people as leading inevitably to
alcoholism, sexual license, acci-
dents, poverty, crime, disease or
national calamity they will be
inclined to ridicule or deny the
very real dangers that do exist.
Less than Grandpa
IT IS true, of course, that more
people drink and that more alco-
hol is now consumed than ever
before IN our nations history.
But it is also true that per-person
consumption has decreased enor-
mOusly. In the last 100 years
Americans have dropped from
four gallons of spirits per person
per year to LIZ. Further, we
have switched from being a ma
ton of hard4iquor drinkers 80
per cent of all consumption in
1850 to one of beer drinkers (49
per cent of 1850 consumption).
Sooner or later, the young col
lege students of today will them
selves have to take a stand on
drinking as voters, church MEM
bers, fathers or mothers, workers
or employers.
Only by understanding and
appTeciating that we - and they
= are perhaps more temperate
than we think can there be a
levelheaded approach to the mi
nority for whom alcohol is a
