upon, collected from, and paid by persons, partnerships,
firms, corporations, or other associations engaged IN trades
or other business in the Virgin Islands, the taxes hereinafter
provided, such taxes to be computed in proportion to the ex-
tent of the trade carried on, or of the business done, as set
forth in the remaining sections of this Law.
SECTION 8. (l For the purpose of this Law, the value
of articles, goods, merchandise, and commodities brought in

The excise tax shall be computed on this value at the rates

which have been made available in
the area in the last few years have
had an impact on she use of hospi-
tai service by members.
While the cause of the increase is
not yet clear, one possible factor
has been ruled out after iuvestiga-
ton, Mr.. Maybee said. j is plain,
he said. that the increased rate of
use OF hospital service Is not related
to the new extended aene9ts plan
which subscribers are gradually
adding to their Blue Cross-Blue
Shield coverage. It was found that
the increased use is by all cate
gories of members, including those
who do not have, as well as those
who do have, the new coverage.
1t was also pointed out that the
increased use which is currently
of concern to Blue Cross execu-
tives is a matter of frequency of
admissions to hospitals and not a
matter of length of stay of patients
in hospitals. An increase in length
of stay can similarly cause concern
at Blue Cross headquarters because
it means higher bills. The present
increase means more bills rather
than higher ones.

first thing they did was to an
nounce the top racing program in
the tracks nine-year history.
They decided to go all out and
give the fans the very best. To be
successful, whatever the venture, it
must open up big. That is just
what the Ocean Downs officials
have done with this years race
meet.
It is going to open up big, and
stay big right through the entire
"a nights TO August "a. No less
than $4,000 in purses alone viii
be given during the first four nights
of the meet. That's more than was
given during the first half of the
opening meet back in 1949.
Opening week will see the fans
being treated to no less than two
stale features night for the en-
tire week. This is quite a contrast
to the twelve stake features of
year ago. This yssr's total features
list no less than thirty top stakes.
Racing secretary Ed Keller al
ready has entries from owners and
trainers in 21 different states. With
the additional entries to come in
next week when the rs aged stakes
have their closing, on July Is, a
new all-time record for number Of
states represented will be run up
by the track.
High spot of opening week will
probably come on Thursday night,
August 1, when trainer Johnny
Simpson, one of the all-time greats
of the Grand Circuit, sends the su-

be aiming at is the 200 set by Tar

IMPORTATION SERVICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


l-Can a Korea veteran, holding
CT term insurance policy
that doesn't pay dividends, get
the total disability income pro-
vision added to his policy so
that he will receive monthly
payments in case he becomes
totally disabled?
A-No. Under the law, the total
disability income provision may
not be added to ncnparticipat-
ing Korean CT term insurance.
It is limited to participating
World War II CT policies that
do earn dividends.
IL just received a raise in salary
of SIS month. / would like to
use that extra money to apply
to my CT home loan each
month so that I can pay it off
ahead of time. Is this possible? {?
"A CT home loan may be re-
duced by extra payments, with
out penalty. But the minimum
extra payment possible is one
regular monthly payment, or
$100, whichever is less. What
you could do is save your sal
ary raise and make an extra
mortgage payment when the
amount equals one monthly
installment, or 500.
IL am more than halfway
thro. g h g. correspondence
course under the Korean CT
Bill. and my CT training en-
titlement has run out. Is it
possible for my entitlement to
be extended, so that can COM
plete my course?
Yes. Sc lang as you have COM
pleted more Lhan half of your
correspondence course your en-
titlement may be extended to
the end of your particular
course unit or for nine weeks
whichever is less.
What is considered a full-time
course for a young man going
to college under the War Or
phans Education program?
IF he is taking undergraduate
training, full-time consists of
at least IA semester hours a
week. If he is in graduate
training, VA will accept a GER
tificate of the school as to
whether his schooling rs fdll-
time.

Johannes Brahms German Re-
QUEEN.
The Requiem is a very lovely
piece. probably Brahms finest
choral work, but it is nothing
to be attempted by a small and
linadequately prepared choir. In
such circumstances, the melting
lines and soaring climaxes con-
geal into a soggy mass of Bieder-
mayer and the poor listener is
left wondering where in the
world such music ever got its
reputation.
Unfortunately, this was ex-
actly what occurred yesterday
The choir consistently sang of
pitch. was insure of the notes,
and failed to respond to the con-
ductor with any nuance. The
towering fugues, particularly
but the righteous souls, 4"
threatened to come apart at the
seams completely.

thy Horizons intelligent and
clean singing of the "Ye now

are times when discretion is the
better part Of valor. And yester-

Walter Hartley Plays
Composers Program

The first half of the program
was devoted to three of the great

The G minor sonata of c. p. E
Bach was written by the great
lest of all keyboard teachers as
one of the examples to accom-
Ipany his famous treatise or
playing. 1t is a severe and beau
tiful work. In listening to it one
reflects that at the time of Jo-
ham Bach's death, the music OF
his son. c. P. E. Bach, was widely
held to be of greater interest
than that of his father, which
was already obsolescent.
j. c. Bach was friend, teacher
and one of the prime mentors Of
Mozart. 1t would be easy to say
that his B fiat sonata, Opus II
No. 6. is peculiarly Mozartian
but the truth is of course that
Mozart was profoundly affected
by the gallante style of the older
man. Even the themes them.

Composers are not usually

These observations are true in
the, case of DR.. Walter Hartley
who was heard in recital yester-

local composer of far more than
ordinary talent, he is more con-
cerned with the soul of the mu-
sic he plays-whether it is his

polish Of its execution. This is
not to say that DR.. Hartley plays
poorly. but only that he is not
