NEW SOCIAL ERA sI s.
WHEN TWELVE charming debutantes, with their
twelve sponsors or matronS made their bow at the first Cohl-
lion in the grand ballroom of the Virgin Isles Hotel recently,
a new era was ushered into the life Of these Islands.
"A COTILLION IS o an event of earth-shaking mo-
rlent. 1t does not improve the economic, political or even the
social lot Of the citizens of a place, and nobody will know any
more or live better because of it. But it is a.pleasant, and
most delightful event which could have a most wholesome
effect on the lighter side Of life Of any community.
GIVEN IT'S PROPER setting, a cotilion has its advan-
tages. 1t is a coming-out party for young ladies, and it can
give at one and the same time the opportunity which parents
relatives, friends and organizations look for in sponsoring
these young people.
CONDUCTED ALONG strictly formal lines, the young
people who attend and participate are given the opportunity
to refresh themselves, to observe and carry out all the ameni-
ties Of social behavior. The value of true culture can certainly
come to the fore during such an event, and leave SO lasting
an impression that it could color in a beneficial way the lives
CT those who took part, even in the remotest way.
IT IS GOOD that this cotilion has come at a time when
the basis for selection is the serious and sincere sponsorship
of candidates worthy Of membership. Empty and superficial
standards can be done away with and new and more mean
ingfuI standards set, and followed. The committee response
bic has done a good job, and will no doubt find value in this
initial venture.
THE ICE HAS been broken. The rest will be easy.
Under the sponsorship and guidance Of the committee bigger
and better affairs can be conducted with dignity, color and
satisfaction to all No doubt the day will come when ST. Croix
will be included, and when a real alLIslands cotillion will be-
come the social highlght of the year.
IT IS GOOD THAT a start has been made, and we en-
dorse it highly.

diem costs for all patients in
these institutions.
His comments came a few
hours after the private hospitals
finished presenting their case for
higher payments from the Dis
trict under the medical charities
program to a Senate Appropria-
.tions subcommittee on the Dis
trict budget.
Average Figure Of SGT
The eight hospitals involved in
the program, which say they
sustained q loss Of some SIS
million over the last seven years
caring for indigents. have fig-
pred out their average daily cost
per bed patient to be about sal
At the same time. Mr.. Karrick
said that he is quite sure that
"their overall per diem rate is
probably quite accurately COM
puted."
But, he indicated. he feels
sure that the actual costs for
the care of indigents In wards
in the private hospitals probably
amount to far less than this
overall per diem rate Of sat.
Yesterday, DR.. William p,
Herbst, representing the Dis
trict Medical Society. declared
that as long as the private hos
pitals continue to lose large
amounts Of money on the indi-
gent care program 'the indigents
and all Of US win receive SUBJ
standard medical service"
PastOre Has Question
Chairman Pastore said he
would ask the Commissioners
why the city recognizes the
daily cost per patient at the
District General Hospital is at
least $3.50 and Health Depart
ment proposals to increase pay
mentS to the private institutions
for similar services were cut out
At present the District reim-
burses these hospitals at the rate

Briefs Awaited
In Bar Suit

Visiting Federal Judge Robert
N. Wilkin yesterday postponed,
temporarily. any ruling in the
suit contesting the voice vote
taken last May by the District
Bar Association to change its by
laws to admit Negro members.
After hearing final arguments
in the case. Judge Wilkin an
nounced that he would postpone
making a decision until after
opposing counsel have submitted
additional data to him in memo
randums. He gave the attorneys
until Monday to file the memo
randums.
Attorney Wesley z. Mcdonald,
representing six lawyer plaintiffs
seeking to set the voice vote
aside, argued that a vote count
should have been taken, as q re-
suit Of a division having been
called for.
Attorney Preston G. King, jr.,
representing the bar association,
argued that the plaintiffs had
failed to prove that . division
was called for. He commended
the voice vote was perfectly
proper and authorized the pro-
posed bylaws change.
Witnesses for the association
have testified that they heard no
demand for a division, calling for
q vote count. and that there was
no such demand made.
Witnesses for the six. plaintiff
lawyers testified that q division
was called for. The voice vote
complained Of was taken on May
8, 1856.
Judge Wilkin heard the case
in District Court without q jury.
Trial began last Monday.
