| Modern MARRIAGE

Compatibility in marriage is
made up of many things. and
one that should not be over
looked is q husbands business
or profession. How a man makes
his living is bound to affect his
wife because much of their home
life is built around his occupa-
ton. Not all women are tenn
peramentally suited to be the
wife of men in some businesses,
and young women should think
Of this when they plan to marry.
Take farming for example. Not
all women can be happy on a
farm and Emma Is giving this
serious thought.
I'm engaged to a young man
in college," she informs me. I'VE
will both graduate in June and
he looks forward to going back
to the farm, where he was born
and raised. His father has
arthritis and wants to retire and

It's a wonderful opportunity.

ways dreamed of.
But really. DR.. Popenoe. I'm
not sure that I am ready fol
such a life. We visited his
parents over Christmas. They
are fine people and I can see
that it's a good farm. but it's
very different from what I'm
used to in a small city. From
what you read sometimes. you'd
get the idea that all farmers
now live in luxury with private
airplanes, air conditioning and
TV. It's not true in that part Of
the country. They do have rum
ming water in the house. which
understand a great many farms
don't have, but-well, that life is
not what I'm used to-"
Many women have the same
feeling, Emma. In survey OF
$50 farms in central Ohio lately
all the husbands questioned saio
that farm life was their choice
but 20 of their wives failed tc
agree. They were hoping Their
husbands would leave. They felt

One Of the best fashion ex-

to learn more about the subject
of blouses.
Noted blouse designer Judy

gram that any woman can fol-
low to possess the feeling of
having a well-rounded wardrobe.
The eight points are. of course.
eight blouses. Two of these on
the little boy shirt order. One in
a flower print and the other in
q pastel hue with perhaps white
collar and cuffs. These are fine
for campus, school. or business
meetings.
For career-to-executive occa-
sions one blouse in a printed silk
pongee and one in dacrcn, per-
haps, with a rufded collar for
perfect suit accompaniment.
The two office-to-daJe line
blouse styles might be one in a
permanently pleated sheer nylon
and another in a rose print It's
sue faille, for example.
Completing the 8-point blouse
program would be the late-day-
to-dinner type of design. That
might be a Scoop-neck embroid-
cred nylon. or a scoop neck

Visual Aid

Miss Marion McKinney's con-
slant travelling companion is q
22-inch mannequin called Gar
RE Career"
Miss Mckinney, head Of the
Women's Travel Department for
= the Union Pacific Railroad, Wis
tied Washington this week end
to attend the spring meeting Of
the American Council Of Rail-
road Women, Of which she is
president.
With her, she brought the
wooden model. carefully packed
in a special suitcase tagged with
its own label. Carrie Career.
Miss Mckinney uses the make
believe model in her many lee
lures to illustrate q suitable
wardrobe for travellers.
The idea for Carrie Career
was conceived by the travel con-
sultant after hearing another
lecturer talk on the subject Of
appropriate wardrobeS.
AS q visual aid she has been
invaluable, Miss Mckinney says.
Not only does the mannequin
have an entire wardrobe with
many original designs. but addi-
tional matching hats. gloves and
jewelry, all Of which clip on the
doll to- illustrate appropriate
year-round wear.
Carrie Career" Miss McKin-
ney confesseS, seems almost hu-
man, having been her lecture
feature for many years.
MY friends kid me about
her." the affable Miss Mckinney
says. why, I talk to her every
morning and I actually feel lone
some if she is temporarily in a
shop for repairs"
Miss Mckinney opened the
Women's Travel Department for
the Union Pacific in Chicago
more than a dozen years ago.
Since then she has planned
itineraries, including pullman
reservations. hotel combinations.
sightseeing tours and wardrobes
for many thousands.
Most people, Miss Mckinney
has learned. think of one ques-
ton first when planning a trip
What Shall I Wear?"
With this in mind. she made
a study of suitable clothing for
all climates and seasons and
concentrated on the problem Of
how to pack a wardrobe for
three or four weeks into one
suitcase.
She advocates mix and match
costumes with the most popular
being the suit. To this she adj
viSes adding two or three blouseS.
a topcoat. a basic dress for cool
days and one for warm.
THE convertible afternoon

vises, can be achieved by al
ternately adding a stole. jacket.

The appropriate wardrobe,

One final word of caution for

IMPROVE THE VOTING
SYSTEM

Es# a#NM
For many years the manner
Of casting votes and Of tabu-
lating the final returns here
in the Virgin Islands has been
conducted on a slow and out
NODDED way. Because Of the
significance Of having early
and complete returns in the
quickest possible time, the
government will have to en-
deavor to install a more up-to
date and reliable system at
the polls. There are many
firms in the United States
which would be willing to in
stall voting machines on a
rental basis and we know Of
no reason why the Virgin Is
lands should not take advan-
tage Of this offer so that we
can be brought in line with
other progressive areas.
The Electoral Law specifi-
cally states the person casting
a vote should indicate the can
didate Of his or her choice BY
marking an x opposite the
name. Yet on election night
when votes were being count
ed, there was an argument as
to whether a check mark was
admissible. If a check mark
is accepted then a circle or
any other mark that shows
the intent Of the elector could
be determined as satisfying
the law
With the changes in the
electoral districts in the Vir-
, 1954-11-12

gin Islands it is now of the ut
most Importance that a single
person be placed in charge Of
all election returns and held
responsible for releasing the
only official count. AS the ST
|tuation now stands each per-
son connected with the Elec-
ton Board considers himself
q little general. This has re-
suited in a chaotic condition
in regards to the official tabu-
|lation for all votes cast in the
November 2 elections. Up to.
today there is no single COM
list showing the total
amount Of votes cast, the
breakdown as to howmany
ballots were cast in st. Tho
mas, st. John and st. Croix,
nor how many blank ballots
or spoiled ballots resulted,
Certainly these conditions
cannot be considered >as the
best to be desired since they
leave room for inadequacies.
We are calling upon the gov
eminent to make the neces-
sary steps now to see that by.
the next general election.
these conditions are improved
upon and a final tabulation in

Virgin Islands be made avail
able within a few hours after

Larceny Trial
Lacked Color.
Had Oratory
You Couldn't
Even Bet On
The Outcome
BY jim COBB

Reporters assigned to dig up
color stories on the Bateman-
Cothron grand larceny" trial
which ended yesterday, found it
pretty tough scratching.
TIE proceedings had about as
much color as a week-old oyster.
The trial resembled a civil case
more than anything else with in
voices, checks and time books
bearing dry-as-dust figures, being
passed back and forth by the law
yerS, which prompted Judge Caro-
to tell the prosecution: "These
jurors aren't bookkeepers."
The trial attracted few spectators
despite the mountains of publicity
it received in mainland newSpap-
erS. But even if the public didn't
get excited about it, the mainland
papers did - at one point there
were five reporters and two photo
graphers on the job.
They spent most of their time
yawning and beefing about Key
West juries.
OraforY Starts
The few diehard spectators who
did stick it out had to wait long
time for the usual spirited oratory
to get underway.
Award for the choicest oratory
OF the afternoon should go to A. C.
DreSSler, who assisted Dade Coun-
ty Solicitor John Marsh. Mr.. Dress
Ter is an orator of the hell-fire and
birthstone school.
He made what most courtroom
observers felt was a frank appeal
to the emotions of the jury, point

Chieftains Differ On Peace
Settlement For Guatemala
Rebel Leader And
Junta Head Hold
Long Discussion

SAN SALVADOR, Ell Salvador
R-Guatemala's rival anti-Com
munist chieftainS haggled until
nearly dawn today in a vain effort
to agree on a peace settlement
which would give their war-split
land its fourth government in a
week.
The peace talks between rebel
Col. Carlos Castillo Armas and Col.
Elfego Monzon, head of Guate-
mala's new governing junta, broke
up at 1856 am. Castillo Armas
announced he was returning to his
rebel headquarters at Chiquimula.
In a statement issued to news
men, both leaders said they were
extending until 9 am. tomorrow
the cease.fire in effect between the
rebels and the Guatemalan army.
Ell Salvador's President Oscar
Osorio, acting as mediator, voiced
optimism that a settlement could
be reached.
Peace Looks Remote
But real peace seemed remote
as Monzon'S junta rushed troops
to Communist strong points in
Guatemala where vengeful Red
leaders were reported trying to
foment peasant upriSings. Red
indoctrinated farm workers were
said to be melting revolt in Es-
cuintla, Pinula and Conception,
hotbeds of communism about 30
miles from Guatemala City.
Monzon declined to say whether
he was returning to the Guate-
malan capital, but it was believed
generally he would.
The joint statement said the
cease-fire had been extended in
order to give both parties time to
consider and study various propos-
ais to reach an accord"
Neither side would disclose what
proposals were involved nor what
particular point cause disagree

Havana Radio
West
July Program Will
Be Dedicated To
The Island City

Last December a number of top
radio announcerS from Havana
were entertained by the City of
Key West.
Among them was Manolo Iglesias
and his wife, Veliz, who were en-
tertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Enrique
Esquinaldo, Jr., during their stay
here. The Esquinaldos were in
vited to Havana for a return visit
with Mr.. and Mrs. Iglesias, and
since then many visits have follow
ed with a warm friendship result
ing.
Since the visit of the radio an
nouncers to Key West scarcely a
day has passed without "Cayo
Hueso" being mentioned many
times over the Havana airwaves.
Special Program
During the Esquinaldos' last visit
to Havana, Iglesias conceived the
notion of dedicating a program of
LA Taberna de Pedro" to Key
West.
This program presents a sort
of cabaret which is supposedly
moved every day from one city to
another all over the island of Cuba.
For a whole week now Serapio,
one of the comics in the program
has been yelling, 81 want to 60 to
Key West, Pedro!"
Because of this interest, it has
been decided that sometime during
the first part of July, LA Taberna
de Pedro" will be broadcast as if
it were originating in the Esquin-
aldo home in Key West.
This program is presented over
emo daily except Sunday at IL
am. The exact date of the sup
posed Key West program will be
announced soon.
