He suggests, too, frequent
rest stops, every 100 miles or
two hours, whichever comes
first. They should be at filling

embarrassed about using the
facilities available, arrange so
you'll need gasoline each time
you stop.
Get the kids out and let
them walk around" he says.
"And the driver should do the
same to stretch his own legs
and rest his back. When you
get back in, change the riding
arrangement to help break the
monotony."
Burkhardt advises an early
start in the morning and an
early stop at night. Start look
ing for lodging not much later
than pm. and certainly find
one by 5 pm. Gives the kids
time to play around before din
ner. Be in bed a little after

Obviously you shouldn't try

germ. He pointed out that If the
present rate of break-downs con-
tinues, almost 3 million of the so
million who have been infected Will
develop active tuberculosis.
In countries with living stan
dards lower than ours tuberculosis
is even more prevalent than in the
United States. Some precautions
can be taken by Americans going
to those countries, but there is no
such thing as tight control over
disease that is present in millions
and millions of the worlds popula-
ton and that spreads from person
to person.
Alaska, an area where many of
our people visit and work, has a
TB rate that is almost eVenteen
times that for the state of Wash
ingtOn.
Today, controlling tuberculosis
in Seattle and King County, as
well as in the rest of the United
States, depends more than ever on
how well TB is controlled in Alas
ka and elsewhere in the world. By
helping Alaskans and the citizens
of other nations in their fight
against TB we help to protect our
people here at home.

"a good ule-of-thumb is to
limit your actual driving time
to a maximum of eight hours
a day." Burkhardt recommends.
THAT doesn't include stops for
meals. leg-stretching or what
have you. Just the actual time
you're in the car"
When you're having your car
serviced before leaving home,
pick up some road maps and
study out your route. Just be-
cause you know how to get to
the nearest big city is no reason
you know how to get out of it
on the other side. A series of
marked maps of the states you'll
cover is handy and can save
you the frustrating experience
of retracing your route.

You may not be able to see the

This shrinking of our globe

greater exposure to contagious di-

difficult to control such diseases
within our own borders.

Despite all we have accomplished

Editorial

WHY NOT ODE FARMS
THE SUBDIVISION Of Estate Annals Hope into small
plots may not, all things considered, be the best possible
use of that estate. Many questions could be raised validity
with respect to the size Of the plots, the number of them,
their use and adaptation to the people who would eventually
own them, and SO on.
THE QUESTION raised here should not be misunder-
stood to mean that there is baseless opposition to allowing
people to own land. Rather, the doubt in our minds is that
the very purpose of the subdivision may be lost.
Annals HOPE was for many many years the site of
the agricultural experiment station for St. Croix. Before the
Transfer, and after, new varieties of plants, new breeds Of
animals and the like Were experimental with, and the staff
published many pamphlets dealing with their findings. It was
also the site of the Vocational Institute which graduated
some of our most promising young men.
Annals HOPE could best be used as a model farm,
The Government should keep it and operate it as such for
the benefit of one and all in the entire Virgin group. 1t
should be laid out, planned, operated as much as a private
farmer would run an efficient farm of that size. Better still,
il should be made in smaller farms of about 40 or 50 acres
each, with a family on each farm running it as a profitable
enterprise, but with the type of guidance and supervision
which experts at the Experiment Station could provide.
THIS TYPE OF use of the land could stand out more
than ANYTHING else. Farmers and others throughout the Is
lands could see for themselves how a real farm could and
should be run, what needed to be done, what crops are best
adapted, and how a given portion of land could be used to
support a family on an acceptable standard of living.
WHAT AGRICULTURE in St. Croix needs is the day
to-day example of what a highly efficient farm should be
ike This island needs the individual farm, paying its way,
and giving support to those who operate it. With greater and
finer production, there would naturally be more food TOR

Maryland May
Need an Extra
|S14.5 Million
Financial Expert
Issues Estimate
To Legislators

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 26 Dr.
A State financial expert told
the legislature yesterday it may
have to scrape around for an
other $14.5 million in taxes for
next fiscal year.
John S. Shriver. director Of
the Fiscal Research Bureau,
made the estimate in an un-
usual statement issued to the
members Of the General As
Isembly. He said the statement
resulted from numerous re-
quests he had received from leg
|islators.
Many lawmakers, keeping an
anxious eye on the political
horizon, would like to avoid any
major tax increase at next
years session-10 months be-
fore the gubernatorial and legis-
|lative elections.
Mr.. ShriveFs forecast made
mo reference to the strong pos
Isibility that State expenses
might be boosted further by en-
Iactment of legislation to increase
the salaries of school teachers.
They are seeking a $500 raise
beginning next September, $400
one year later. This would cost
an estimated $1l million for
part of the two-step raise.
He noted that revenue esti-
majors have predicted general
fund income at $144 million for
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1858. In addition, Republican
Gov. McKeldin has asked the
|Democrat-controlled Legislature
to approve a tobacco tax ex-
pected to increase revenues by
about 81 million.
IF the national economy fol-
lows its present trend, a tax
structure which will produce $151
million in the fiscal year (end-
Iing) 1858 might be expected to
increase to $l58 million in 1885,"
Mr.. Shriver said.
Without any radical shift in
the economy" he added, this
might vary by 81 million in either
direction. But. allowing a rea-
lsonable allowance of SIS million
dollars in surplus, he estimated
general fund resources would to-
tai $163 million.
IF the present trend is con-
Itinued. the general fund appro-
Ipriation request (for the fiscal
year ending June. 1857 will be
not less than $11.5 Million" he
said.
Added to the present request
of $l66 million, this would mean
SIT million for the same year
Ior $14 million more than expected
revenues, he added.

Traffic Toll
.$22 Million

Traffic deaths and injuries in
1856 meant a loss Of $22 million
to the community, according to a
report yesterday before the Met
ropolitan Area Traffic Council.
Norman Damon, temporary
chairman Of the councils Public
Support Committee. told a quar-
terly meeting Of the group that
National Safety Council statis-
tics indicate the total cost per
traffic death is $125.000 There
were 1863 traffic deaths in the
Greater Washington area in 1856.
Mr.. Damon said the figure is
arrived at by figuring there are
IS personal injuries and 100 per-
sonal property accidents for each
death. This includes lost income,
hospital costs and other expenses
stemming from an accident.
Rear Admiral Harold D. Baker,
commandant OF the Potomac
River Naval Command, said with
the Nays losses through traffic
accidents over four-year period,
the service lost enough men To
man the 4,000-crew supercarrier
Forrestal and nearly enough
money to pay for the $3.50 mil
lion vessel.
Admiral Baker said the Navy
loses about 600 sailors each year
Through trafilc deaths and 400
lothers have to be discharged. 4

COPPER Operator Seeks
Floating River HeIiport

he will concentrate on that one
in follow-up talks. Presumably.
he will have to get the Army En-
gineers' permission to use the
river. But District officials said
they know of no permit he must
get from them.
Mr.. Hichborn said his small
"heliport" would hold two cop
tiers, capable of hauling a pilot
and either two passengers or
about 600 pounds of cargo.
A water location is essential,
he explained. because the whirly.
birds need open spaces for take
offs and landings. 1t would be
no trick. for example, to acquire
a city lot just 40 by 60 in size
But air currents being what they
are, landing space itself isn't
enough.
Shows COmmuter Route
More for interest than any,
thing else at the moment. Mr.
Hichborn showed the officials a
map of stops on the two sched-
uled routes he hopes to establish
later.
Actually, he has applied to
the Civil Aeronautics Board for a
license to operate on the two
route scheduled flight basis here.
But action isn't expected until
the cost picture-probably re-
sulting from production of more
economical 'copters-makes COM
muter fares more practical.
