very wonderful mother and
daughter relationship we had?
AS each day goes by I feel she
is more of a stranger than the
day before. There is. a much
longer story which couldn't all
be written, but please advise me
a little from what you know
about us. How can I pull my
self together about this?"
The. child doesn't belong to
her parents, Mrs. D., she belongs
to life itself, and it is the
parents job to help her to learn
as quickly as possible to get
along without them. If they do
this successfully, they will be
recognized, appreciated, and
loved as long as they live. It
will be hard for you to act on
this fact, but the sooner you be-
gin the better it will be, both for
your daughter and for yourself.

A fourth loss occurs when
Congress takes q recess, for In
stance. the annual Easter or
Christmas holiday, and the
several months which occur be-
tween regular sessions. Although
most. of the services are shut
down and personnel laid OF. it's
still necessary to keep q skeleton
stan with some key employees
on the job. This adds up to an
annual expense varying from
$500 to $4,000 per year. /.
Another factor that adds to
the debit side of the ledger is the
slow turnover in the dining
room. On days when there are
frequent quorum calls, teller and
record votes. ETC.. the harassed
members must jump up from
their meals. finished or not. and
rush to the floor for the BUSH
ness at hand. Food Is left on
the table. II it's hot food. it is
returned to the pantry to await
their return. In the meantime,
the table is tied up and not use
able Then, too. the restaurant
may be prepared to serve q
capacity crowd and, suddenly
without warning, legislative
plans change. So the manage
nient is left holding the sack, so
to speak. They are stocked with
food and no customers. They
estimate the loss from these
causes between $1,000 to $500
per year.
Pay Increases
Then. for the final fly in the
ointment that has contributed to
heavier operating costs in recent
years. They are namely: Public
Law 900. 80th Congress, APP
proved July 8, 1913 (Federal Pay
Act) imposed an additional an
nual expense of $4,000. Public
Law 40, 81st Congress, approved

Act) added another $500 to the
growing list of expenditures. A
total of $30.500.
The two cafeterias. the report
pointed out. are in q happier
situation. One opened in 1942,
and the coffee shop. opened in
1947. have each produced q small
annual profit.
Why continue to operate the
restaurant If it's losing game,
you ask. It's an absolute neces-

reasons why.

Uncle Sam IS Loser
On House Restaurant
Uncomfortable Costs


Al recent issue OF This Week
magazine carried q item calling
attention to the fact the restau-
rant in the House Of Represen-
tatives was . losing proposition
for Uncle Sam.
A report made by the architect
Of the Capitol to the House APP
preparations Committee t1950-
SD tells why. It is perfectly
frank In saying "that the fact
that the. House restaurant has
for many years been operating
at q loss has long been q matter
Of common knowledge"
AS q matter Of fact. ell the
problems involved resulted In Q
total loss Of approximately $780,
900 for the year 1858. But 1t
should be known there are certain
uncomfortable costs that have to
be absorbed before the restau-
rant can show o profit. The year
the report was made these costs
added up to between $4,000 and
$50. 900.
The Hondicops
Here are some Of the handi-
caps the management must face.
The physical layout Of the
restaurant would be a. nightmare
for any modern homemaker.
Shed throw up her hands in
horror. In this day Of stream
lined kitchens, where everything
is within arms reach, the House
restaurant Set-up would drive
her crazy.
The kitchen. bakery. prepare
ton rooms. work centers, and
storeroom facilities are on one
level, the dining rooms on the
floor above. But wait-if one area
was directly above the other, 1t
would simplify matters some
what. They're not. Suppose you
had that arrangement in your
own home.
Because Of space problems, al
ready existing building piers.
supporting walls and other
structural conditions, no addi-
tional room can be allotted to
the restaurant. It's a case OF
make the best of 1t.
Food is cooked on the base
ment level, brought upstairs by
I.dumbwaiter, and served from q
separate pantry which is small
and inadequate. Soiled dishes
are sent back below stairs.
washed and brought back.
Wonder what Lillian NJ. Gil
breth. nationally known man
agement engineer, would make
of that. She could have q hey
day turned loose on that floor
plan.
AS a result Of this unfortunate
| layout, labor costs, increased
wear and tear on equipment,
duplication Of work and equip
ment add up to an unavoidable
loss of $4,000 yearly.
One Meal q Doy I
A second reason for the
House restaurant operating in
| the red is due to the nature OF
its business. It's virtually q one
meAl~a- day operation which is
costly for any festaurateur
With the proportionate Larger
personnel required, this adds on
another $4,000 yearly loss.
Thirdly, you know how it Is
when you've prepared dinner for
the whole family and you're
left to eat it alone. You gnash
your teeth. The House restau-
rant faces the same problem only
on a much larger scale. They
don't know whether they're
going to serve $50 or 400 meals
a day. It all depends on the
business in Congress. Week
end or other similar recesses
affect the business take" too.
It's estimated this fluctuatiof1 in
volume accounts for another
500 to $4,000 yearly. ~

ACADEMIC HONOR

80 #@#@@@ III @
TO H BEST Of our knowledge the first time that a
recognized college or university on the mainland honored a
native Of the Virgin Islands was on June, 1854, when Howard
University conferred the honorary degree Of Doctor Of
Humane Letters on RoyW. Bornn, Commissioner of Public
Welfare for the Virgin Islands.
C HONORS are conferred on men and women who,
through the years have made some significant and worth
while contribution to the life of the community in which they
live, or to the world. DR.. Bornn, through 90 years Of leader
ship Of this vital phase of community life has brought dignity
and understanding to public social welfare, removing from
it any element of stigma and misunderstanding that might
have enshrouded it in the past,
BUT DR. endeared his work, and himself, to
the world, when in 1917, as an Adviser to the United States
Delegation to the International Labor Conference in Geneva
he sponsored and worked for passage Of a resolution urg-
ing the International Labor Organization to pass on to mem
Der nations the benefits Of public assistance, and social in
surance programs, particularly with respect to nonmetropoi
tan territories.
AS IN NOS cases of honor bestowed, DR.. Bornn's
honor is also that Of the Virgin Islands. Howard University,
in honoring this native son, knew that his fellow Virgin Vir-
gin Islanders would share it with him. They are the benefit
Charles of his hard and constant work, and they, through their
support and understanding, helped to uphold his hand to
this point.
IT is GRATIFYING to know that an outstanding Ameri
can university does honor to a native son, and to realize
further, that the time is here when the force and effect of
American education has won the place il deserves in the
thinking Of many, who, because of background, naturally
turned to the Old World.
ALONG WITH the entire Virgin group we extend to
Dr. Bornn many congratulations upon the receipt Of this
honor.

litical skill at his command to
maintain single party govern
ment in the Irish Republic.
It could be the gaunt old war

His opponents never question
his service to Ireland. but they
feel his Fianna Fail (Men Of

Mr.. Costello's coalition is ami

Hear Hyde on Taxes
And Far East Crisis

Representative Hyde. Repub-
lican, Of Maryland, said yester-
day the Nation can re-establish
free enterprise with the Repub-
licans or go back to state social
ism with the Democrats.
Mr.. Hyde addressed the Dis
trict Federation Of Women's
Clubs at their annual luncheon
at the Sheraton-Park Hotel. He
spoke in place of Senate Major
ity Leader Knowland, who was
called out Of the city.
The major political issues be-
fore the country. Mr.. Hyde said.
come from the Far Eastern crisis
and from economic conditions.
Free Enterprise Economy.
"It is obvious" Mr.. Hyde said,
"that the Republicans are trying
to establish a tax program which
will support a free enterprise
economy. The Democratic pol
icy, on the other hand. would
make the private economy rely
on public spending"
He said this last is apparent
from Democratic convention
statements and from the decla-
ration by former President Tru-
man in Atlantic City favoring
reduced taxes and more Govern
lnent spending at the same time.
Making it clear he spoke only
for himself, Mr.. Hyde made these
points about the Far Eastern
situation:
/. The administration has
stated that conditions in Indo-
China are not suitable for the
present participation of Amer
ican forces.
2. An alliance has been pro-
posed with nine other countries
to meet Far Eastern conditions.
Truce Called Possibility.
8. The administration has in
sisted on the independence of
the present Far Eastern French
colonies and, if freedoms are not
endangered, it favors a truce.
4. If such a truce is unsuitable
and fighting continues, and the
Southeast Asian alliance is sue
cessful, then intervention would
become the policy of the admin
iStrations
S. Even then, there would be
no intervention without Con-
gressional approval.

Hardy Evergreen Specials:
ArcndiGrs Gardening
Planting Hints:

With the little care lilies
need. they can be the most
beautiful plants in your gar
den. Most lilies prefer an
acid soil but will grow nicely
in a neutral soil. Make sure
they have good drainage and
a cool soil. If the soil tends
to be moist, lily bulbs should
be placed on a cushion of
sand when planted. When
you grow lilies between
peonieS, the heavy foliage of
the peonies helps keep the
soil around the lilies cool,
and you get double bloom in
the same garden area!
