Each year during the month of December it comes time to vote upon supervisors in each Soil Conservation Subdistrict. These subdistricts are run by five cleo ted farmers, who represent the farmers in the area. It is their job to see that the conservation pro- gram is carried forward and to get conservation on the land
 Subdistrict supervisors usually meet once a month to discuss conservation problems and ap- prove farm plans for farm cor operators. Their desire is to have each and every farmer and home steader have his farm farmed under a conservation type pro- gram.
 Each farmer or homesteader entitled to vote in these elections should exercise his right to vote. Ballots are usually mailed out, but in many cases all persons do not receive a ballot If you do not receive a ballot in the mail you may secure one at the local Soil Conservation Service office, now located in the Severns Building
 At the present time the Wasil- Ia Subdistrict is holding their election and the deadline for voting is December IS, 1855.
 The Palmer Subdistrict, as yet, has not announced when their election for Supervisors will be held. Notice will be made when election time is known.

STATEHOOD FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS


During his recent to St. Croix, Nj. Orme Lewis, Assist
ant Secretary Of the Interior, was questioned as to what was
me first step to be taken in the progression from territory
90 state. Mr.. Lewis, who remembered when this took place
il his home state Of Arizona, answered, The conviction on
ne part Of the people that they should be a state.
Admitting that the conviction precedes the actual readi-
ness Of an idea to become sef-goyerning and having a voice
lazthe Federal government, Mr.. Lewis reiterated that It IS
nevertheless the first step. An idea inevitably Precedes actu-
Hty in human experience, sometimes by many years; it then
.ecomes necessary to examine the existing conditions as to
whether or not they give credence to such an idea.
In the Virgin Islands the conditions are surprisingly good
No iIlHeracy, no slunls, no discrimination, no violence, and
high health standards. A state in the United States with II
l.teracy at l7R and venereal disease at almost 20 per cent,
controls enough votes in Congress to sway an alllmportant
decision between war and peace but the Virgin Islands
must remain silent, offering only its men tor battle, Its oPln-
ions masked for. A whole area in the United States has be-
come politically powerful not because it is enlightened
contrary being true-but because it controls enough enough
votes BY fair means and foul to determine the outcome OF a
presidential election.
It is difficult to demand equal rights when the Virgin
Islands are still an economic dependency OF the United States,
but Mr.. NoIe Smith in his speech OF last tuesday night, pro
missed that the new tax legislation will bring an end to this
situation. No one, not even the Federal Government, could
more earnestly desire an end to handouts than the Virgin
islanders themselves. Yet perhaps MI, Smith has strayed
from what is truly desirable in talking about a higher per

States have their great industrial slums; and 50, we regret

VETERANS
AND DRAFTEES
BY MAJ. THOMAS M. NAL

II
Congress and the President
worked with unusual speed to
rush through a pay raise late
last month for career and re-
tired servicemen so the increase
would show up in this months
pay
But judging from the letters
I've been getting, many who'll
be receiving the raise seem to
be in doubt as to just how it
will affect you.
Basically the raise goes to:
| /. Retired servicemen entitled
to retired pay called retirement
pay in some laws). retainer pay
or equivalent pay, including men
entitled to temporary disability
retirement pay.
2. Enlisted men and warrant
officers with at least two years
in uniform and commissioned
officers with at least three years.
service.
8. Certain groups Of enlisted
men and officers performing
hazardous duty. This category
of servicemen will get both a
raise in base pay and the pay
for special duty.
Three Groups Benefit
The allowances for food and
quarters will not be raised, thus
the money being sent to de-
pendents by the Government will
stay at its present level.
Three different groups OF re-
tired servicemen will receive
raises in pay, but in different
manner. Those entitled to some
form of retirement pay under
laws in effect prior to October
l, 1949, will get an increase OF
6 per cent. Those entitled to
some form of retirement pay
under the Career Compensation
Act of 1949 will have their pay
computed at the same rates as
men now on active duty. How
ever, officers with less than
three years or warrant officers
and enlisted men with two years
who retired for physical dis
ability will receive 6 per cent
increases if they're now getting
paid under the Career Compen-
sation Act of 1949.
AS to the second group OF
men affected by the raise, the
biggest percentage increases go
to younger officers below major
and the corresponding ranks in
the other services; to sergeantS
and corporals and their corre-
spending ranks. For example, a
second lieutenant or ensign will
receive $296.40 a month after
three years, a 25 per cent raise.
A corporal with between four
and six years service will get
a 16 per cent raise.
Some Take a Cut
The third group of men eligible
for a raise in pay include air
and submarine crews, paratroop-
ers, glider crews, demolition ex-
perts and other special cate
gories. The changes in this type
4 of pay range up to an increase
of II per cent. depending on
length of service and the serv-
iceman's grade. (Colonels and
corresponding grades, however,
take a S per cent cutD The big
gest increase goes to Army cap
tains and their corresponding
ranks with IA years of service
or more
Also. a new allowance will pro-
vide a "dislocation" payment to
cover transportation costs Of
moving from one permanent as
signment to another. It will be
equal to one months quarters
allowance. In connection with
this. men who live in trailers
will be able to collect up to 20
cents mile for travelling be-
tween posts.

lis School Time!

For the past few days we've
been hearing bells ringing in

kind, don't you? That's right -
school bells! Practically every
where across the country summer
vacation is drawing to a close,
and very soon now boards of
youngsters will be reluctantly set
ting forth for their annual battle
with the 3R's.
School is a word that covers
many activities and people. At
your house, school days may
mean a well-scrubbed, neatly
combed six-year-old who's enter
ing Glass la. Or it may refer
to a daughter who's on her way
back to high school or a son set
ting off to college. And to teach
er-if there's one in your family
it will mean readying the class
room for a new group of young
SterS, '--~.ssr.",
But no matter what new activ-
tiles school days bring to your
home, one thing is certain: It's no
time to put away your camera
just because vacation has ended.
The school year brings with it
many moments when you'll be
awfully glad you had a camera
handy. And remember, something

1t won't require expensive

essary. With a flash attachment
and a supply of flash bulbs, Junior
can take pictures under almost
any conditions-indoors, day or
