HEALTH

II the field Of health, legislation already appears on
the agenda for the appropriation of 100000 TO build an
addition to the Memorial Hospital. This APP
propriauon would be expended for the purpose Of expand
inc the existing medical facilities 50 that at least % more
beds may be added to take care Of the chemically III and
other patients.
There Is need to review the hospital fee bill and to
adopt insular legislation on this subject Legislation will
also be offered to provide health insurance for govern
ment employees.
LABOR
new wage and hour law is urgently needed Such a
bill has already been introduced in this Legislature. As
YOU know, the Special Industry Committee which was APP
pointed by the United States Secretary Of Labor to fix
wages for industries covered by the Fair Labor Standards
Act has recommended substantially increased wages for
workers in the Virgin Islands. Our w~agehour law must
be revised accordingly. Machinery for the determination
Of wages, similar to- that established by the Federal Gov
eminent, will be introduced by this legislation.
We hope that there will be unanimous support for 2
bill to provide employees in private enterprise with one
or two weeks Of annual vacation with pay.
AS many Of you know, we have q labor relations law
ia ST. Thomas and st. John. Unfortunately, this law is Of
no value because the previous governor abolished the
board that was to enforce the law. Legislation has been
introduced to provide for an insular labor relations act,
similar to that in effect in other territories and states
We have workmens compensation laws in effect here,
but the laws are not uniform. Unity Party has prepared
legislation to provide for an insular workmen's compeh-
sation act, with liberal features. One amendment we con-
slider very important! AT the present time a worker who
loses an eye or his limbs, or suffers any injury that rend-
ers hin useless for the rest Of his life, gets compensation
for only 4 few years. The amendment wesspeak of will
offer compensation to such person as long ashis perna-

HOUSING ANDLAND DEvELoPMENT

There exists throughout the Virgin Islands an alarm,
ing shortage of building lots with the financial means of
persons Of moderate income. Land is being sold at prices
so high as to be beyond the financial means of persons of
moderate income. "A law to offer aid and to facilitate the
means to persons Of moderate income for the purchase of
land Whereon to build their homes is urgently needed. Lee
gislation on this subject will be introduced by Unity Par
ty. In fact, we have more than half a dozen bills in the
field Of housing and land development which are intended
to vigorously attack one Of the most serious problems
existing in the islands today.
We have laws that enable authorities to clamp down
on property owners who fail to repair cisterns, tanks and
other water containers that may result in the breeding of
mosquitoes. But there is no law to compel a property
owner to stop a leak that causes water to pour into the
beds of tenants whenever it rains.
We have wasted too much time already in solving
the problems confronting superficiary home owners at
H1tona, Honduras and Demarara. The Government should
move Immediately to acquire those areas TO rresale to
home owners. We have been in contact with the owners
Of Annals Fancy in the hope that the government may
be able to acquire the remainder Of that estate.
We have proposed that the Governor take action to
acquire from the Public Housing Administration land adj
jacent to Berg Homes for resale to prospective home build
ers. We want action on the Bordeaux estate transaction.

Party win permit US to reduce our nightsoil problem

you know, Federal employees here are covered by
unemployment insurance. We will offer legislation to
have Virgin Islands Government Employees covered by
unemployment insurance Immediately and private en-
ployees here later on.
We have no laws on our statute books for the protec-
ton Of working women. Many are fired as they become
pregnant; others are forced to stand all day, although the
factory or other jobs they perform may be performed
while they are sitting. These and other ~injustices will be
corrected in this law.
There is nc. adequate law toprovide safety measures
in places Of employment in the Virgin Islands. "A bill has
been offered to correct that defect.
We contend that government employees being paid
from the so-called double ~ funds are entitled to annual
leave as other government employees being paid from
other sources. Legislation will be offered to make annual
leave to such employees mandatory

Villanoya's
Runs
Mile In $50

COMPTON, Calf. CNC) - Dur
ing the last two years the four
minute-minus mile has been run
ID times, but the feat has yet to
be accomplished by an American.
Latest TO break four minutes
for the distance were Ron De-
lsny OF Villsnovs and Cunnsr
Nielsen of Denmark who ran In
the Compton track and field
meet here. DelsnY, an exchange
student from Dublin, ireland,
ran the distance in $50 while
Nelson was eIoeked in 3:5s.l.
Roger Bannister of England
electrified the sports world on
May 6, 1854, when he ran the
mile 1884. Since that time, the
mile has been run in less than
four minutes on 13 other occa-
sions. The world record is 3:5S
held by John Landy of Australia,
who has six times run the mile in
less than four minutes. The best
time by an American is 4:00:6
run by Wes Santee, the Marine
officer now banished from A.A.U
track competition, here at Comp
ton on June 4, 1854.

The man who said, It'll be a

be proven correct-as are all the
incurable optimists who said,
We'll manage somehaw."
Having recovered from the first
shock caused by the financial
status of the pool corporation, the
board of directors is now consid-

ancing the budget. Small loans
have made the immediate install
lation of the bathouse roof pos.
sible.
With the bathhouSe out of dan
ger, the board can relax and calm.
ly consider all suggestions from
members regarding the financing
and operating of the pool.
At least they can relay right
after they finish contracting every
member personally in an effort
to secure loans to cover the com.
pletion of the plumbing and other
essentials.
However, the swimming pool,
even in financial straits and the
dead of winter, is not all blood,
sweat and tearS-Gordon Rudd,
who was chief engineer for the
pool corporation, as well as John
Henry" on the rock pile last sum-
mer, had a farewell party a week
ago Saturday for the swimming
pool board and their spouses.
The Sc guests enjoyed cocktails,
a buffet dinner, and danced in the
Rudds recreation room till 4 am.
To add special zest to the affair,
it was all paid for by Gordon's
new employer who evidently
knows a good man nowadays is
hard to find"
The Rudds are moving to Bir,
mingham, Ala, this month where
Gordon will start his new career
as-a swimming pool engineer,
with the firm that contracted the
main construction on our job

ming pools.)
