to the position of Government Secretary is both a chal-
lenge.and an opportunity for these Islands to show their
fitness for self-government. That is quite true, but both
the challenge and the opportunity have been met. It fol
lows that if President Eisenhower saw fit to appoint Mr..
MerWin to the second highest position in the Govern
ment, the people of these Islands had already shown
their understanding of the democratic process by elect
ing that very man to office many times. His appointment
was hailed by the press, and the people.
WHAT WE R saying here is that we are ready,
and nothing could prove it more completely than the
assumption Of the responsibility itself. Any group Of
people who could have elected a man like Mr.. Merwin
cannot be accused of not being ready for self-govern-
Ilnent, and Mr.. Merwin should be the first to recognize
it.
WE DISAGREE, NATURALLY, with the state
lnent that there would be "chaos." There would be no
such thing. In fact, the elected governor might find it no
more difficult than the last governor, or the incumbent,
who is constantly under fire.

Editorial

WHY NOT GIVE SELF-GOVERNMENT A TRY?
CONSIDERING FURTHER this question Of an
elected governor for these Islands, the expressions Of
opposition seem somewhat lacking in logic and even sin
cerity. For example, Government Secretary John Mer-
win offered pity" for anyone elected to the office Of
governor. Why should there be any more pity for an
elected governor than for one appointed to the post?
BUT GETTING DOWN to basics. The fear which
prompt opposition to an elected governor are very I'm
warranted, and some serious thought should clarity the
situation.
WHAT WOULD AN elected governor do? How
would his position be different from what it is now, and
what changes would occur in the normal functioning of
the Government? A look at these questions should be
food for thought, and bring about a second more sober
ing approach to the problem,
N MATURED person would know that any bill
for an elected governor for these Islands would take
considerable time before being put into law. Heaven
knows, it might easily be two or three years, by the time
the several committees conduct and conclude hearings.
HEN WOULD COME period of preparation dur
ing which the incumbent sets things straight and ready
for turning over to his successor. Certainly that would
not be a few days or weeks. Further, the right to elect a
governor would have to be clearly defined, and it is very
unlikely that Congress would fail to- include some pro-
vision for ultimate say in many matters. The governor,
whoever he may be, would certainly be answerable to
Congress, and more than likely throughthe Interior.
EARLIER, THIS PAPER raised a number of ques-
tons in connection with this very matter, pointing out
that any request for an elected governor should be ac-
companied by Qualification Of matters. directly pertain
ing to- the office and its functioning.

Fuel Tax Collection
Shows A Decrease

Motor fuel taxes collected in
Delaware during the month of May
showed a decrease over the amount
OF these taxes collected during the
same month of last year, it was
revealed by the Motor Fuel Tax
Division Of the State Highway De-
partment.
This is the second consecutive
month that the receipts from motor
fuel taxes have shown a decrease
over the amount received during
the same month OF the previous
year as the same condition existed
with the receipts for the month Of
April.
Motor fuel taxes collected es--ing
the month of May, which W. re-
ceived during June, totaled $734,-
435.03. a decrease of $2,06232 from
the amount received during May Of
last year. The decrease recorded
for the receipts during April was
$2,91481
The receipts for the month of
May, however, were $29,729.96
more than were received during
May of 1856 and an increase of
$96,642.07 over the amount receiv-
ed for the month Of May in 1855.
The taxes collected for May Of
this year represented the sale of
14,688,699 gallons of motor fuel
which was a decrease OF 41,24S
gallons from the amount sold dur
ing May of last year.
The Motor Fuel Tax Division re-
ported that total of 81 concerns
were bonded as distributors of mo-
tor fuel in this state during the
month Of May and of this number,
IL concerns reported no sales for
the month.
Four of the other concerns re-
ported sales that provided a total
of $401. .007.22, of SIS percent of the
tax collected for the month. These
concerns, and the amount of taxes
provided by each, were Atlantic

Art Goes To Knees
At Bazaar

HOW CAN YOU make money for
that summer fair or bazaar?
It's easy. if you try to dream VI
something different, something
that will intrigue your customers
The trick is to get away from the
old standbys.
Young people of Greenfield Hills
Conn, found money-making pro-
ject that was hilarious as well as
profitable: They painted faces on
knees for d fee. Here's how:
Put cold cream lightly over the
knee. Then apply white grease
paint (the kind used for stage
makeup) over the kneearea. Lip
stick, eyebrow pencil and eye
shadow are all used. Stage make
up is easier to handle, the kids
found, and doesn't smear like Ordi-
nary cosmetics. Expressions on
the faces of knee characters can be
sad or happy. comic strip charac-
terss babies, movie stars, animals.
Pigtails can be painted down the
sides of legs, bow ties or long
polka dotted ties give handsome
effects, also.
Photography is another way to
make money for your fair. The
pictures that may be developed
while you wait are eagerly sought
by fair visitors. At one church
bazaar. backgrounds were put up
to make the photographs more in
teresting. The. comic backgrounds
with cut out faces through which
people could put their heads in
cluded tanglefooted hillbilly types,
COWBOYS, Indians. city slickers,
dancing girls and what have you.
The idea was a big success and
made more money than anything
at the show.
Small fry who have the "gim-
mics" are a fairs best customers
usually, so anything that appeals
to them should pay off.
Prop an old carousel horse up
and use it to pose the little darl-
ings for a photograph.
Big strong boys may be employ
ed to give the tiny tots piggy back
rides. They lows = -. even better
than the merry-g -go-round or pony
rides.
Other ways to make money are
these.
Sell flowers, plants, vegetables
from your garden. Kids love bal
looms on a stick, so blow up bal
looms and attach to sticks.
If one of your group fancies
himself as a caricaturist, let him
try his hand at it. Even if the
sketches aren't the last work in
resemblance, many people think of
them as fun, or will not even know
the difference. Try them and see.
