never entered his mind; he knew
the blind man was working
racket and that's all there was to
it. Offbrand wore the uniform of
the day and to him it was shirt
of crinoline which he had made
by himself. His shoes had never
once been exposed to polish; and
had a barber depended on Off
brand for living he'd have
starved. Offbrand couldn't be
bothered with anything so petty
as good grooming. He fitted E.
in his cult, he fitted we'll. He
avoided standard brands, except
to attack them when he could.
They were different they
should be done away with. He
gave the matter much thought,
and why not? Hector Quincy
Offbrand knew full we'll that
there were too many standard
brands in this world, and to him
they were by their very name
inferior to the off brands.
Just how clear these two
thumbnail sketches of my two
acquaintance are, | don't know.
Perhaps they will suffice. If this
were a commencement address |
might make an effort to sell you
on one or the other of my ac-
quaintances, but | have nothing
to sell today. However, / will
tell you how | see the two men
I've told you about. Men use the
word soul" to denote an in
tangible, undefinable something
which is the essence of life as a
human being. Without this in
tangible something called ''soul"
man isn't much, and | think if
Sam Snopes Standardbrand were
called on to produce his for any
reason whatsoever, the first
thing he'd have to do would be
to go down to the Chamber of
Commerce office and get it.
On the other hard l think if
Hector Quincy Offbrand were
called on to produce his, it would
take at least two full days to
explain to him what it was you
were talking about and then
he wouldn't know where to find
it.
I would not attempt to tell you
which of these two men is the
better. You can decide that for
yourself, if you so desire. But l
will say this; personally, l can't
stand either of them; they make
me i'll most Ill.
Having only contempt for these
two acquaintance Of mine, l am
seeking to know someone else,
a third person. And l sort of
liked the idea expressed by the
klttycat Bird when he said:
Whatever you are, be sure that
you are you" I'd like nothing
better than to know person
who is as honest with himself as
that. And I'm trying !. seeking
hoping to find, and once Il
do, I have no intention of yield
ing.
Perhaps you've wodered how
it is | know Standardbrand and
Offbrand as well as I do? Any
way, l hope you've wondered
about it, because I'd like to tell
you. l know both men as well as
any mortal can know himself

TEXT OF GOV. MERWIN'S ADDRESS TO
THE SPECIAL SESs. OF THE LEGISLATURE
Concluded from Saturday

Seventh, "Amendatory Legisla-
ton which will remove the Vir-
gin Islands Employment Service
from the Department of Agricul-
ture and Labor and establish it as
an Independent agency" This
agency would be in a better posi-
ton to do its work if it were an
independent agency as it was ORR
ginally set up to be by action of
the Sixteenth Legislative Assem-
bly, in 1851, which enabled the Vir
gin Islands to receive the benefits
OF the Wagner-Peyser Act. Also,
the United States Department of
Labor has requested that it be re-
established as an independent
agency. Planning discussions with
Bureau of Employment Security
officials concerning the tech
niques, procedures and budgets
for the regular Employment Ser
vice program and for special pro-
jects invariably lead to the fact
it is desirable to have the Employ
ment Service returned to indie
pendent status under the direc-
ton of the Governor. Authorize
ton for this action is contained
in section 16(a) of the Revised
Organic Act which authorizes
making this agency independent
as required by Federal law for
participation in Federal pro-

used to run the Virgin Islands
Employment Service comes from
the Federal Government. The
Virgin Islands Government does
rot provide one penny for the ser
vice which is used exclusively by
Virgin islanders here. | strongly
recommend that you pass the re-
quired legislation to remove the
Virgin Islands Employment Scr
vice from the Department of Agri-
culture and Labor and make of it
an independent agency.
Eighth, and last, on my original
call for this session is legislation
to TAmend Title 80, Section 2, of
the Virgin Islands Code removing
the responsibility for the plan
ming, designation, administration
and operation of parks from the
Commissioner of Education and
placing this responsibility in the
Department of Agriculture" The
reason for this is very simple and

logical. Maintenance, upkeep and
wen the addition of parks and
beaches is mainly a matter of

scaping. The Department of Edu-
cation has no facilities for such

Aged Negro
Dies i'm Fire
In Rockville

John Henry Williams, vener.
able Negro who was partially
paralyzed, was fatally burned last
Thursday night in Rockville.
County police said Williams, 70,
received burns to 80 percent of his
body when his one-room shack on
Cairo Street went up in flames.
Police theorized the fire was
started from a cigarette.
The fire occurred about Has
PM, just off East Middle Lane
in the heart of town. Prompt
action by the Rockville Fire De-
partment prevented the blaze
from spreading to two frame
houses nearby. Williams died six
hours later at Suburban Hospital.
Whenever weather permitted,
Williams sat on the sidewalk
walls in front of either the Old
Court House or the site of the old
high school building, now oc-
cupied by the Board of Educa-
ton.
Williams was supported by
Welfare funds. He was believed
to have come from South Carolina
but he left no survivors to bear
this out. A paralytic stroke many
years ago prevented him from
working. N rr.
He was fond of gew-gaws. He
wore makeshift rings made of
twisted horseshoe nails and kept
extra matches tucked into his full
head of hair.
II amt no Christian" he was
fond of saying, but 1 prays for

Williams was buried Tuesday
in the cemetery at the County
Poor Farm.

Members of Richard Montgom-

Thespian Society are excited
about the annual one-act, Spring
tournament play. The eight thes-
plans will produce the entire play
as an initiation into the society.
Charter 174S was presented to
the school last fall. Since then
the group has planned for the
Spring play. Currently, plays are
being selected for reading to de-
termine the play the dramatics
group will do. Only the best of
The Black Maskers, the school
dramatics club, are eligible for
the National Thespian Society.
Members must show an active
interest in all phases of the
theatre, as well as in acting.
Members of the honorary So
ciety are Robert Malone, Judy
johnson, John Menke, Betty
Hawkes., Jim Lee, Linda Pfeifle
and Mandy Evans. Miss Pauline
Abeyounis, dramatic clubs spon-
sor, is advisor to the group.
The ninth grade club, the Gold
Maskers, is casting for a one-act
play TO be presented in Feb
ruary. The play, "Antic Spring."
will be produced by this newly
formed group with the aid Of
members of the Thespians and
will be directed by Miss Grace
Bears.
Richard Montgomery's h all
patrols were abolished by the
Student Council, but will be rein
stated. 1t was h ped that the
patrols would prove to be un-
necessary, but increasing traffic
jams in the halls and an increase
in violation have made it obvious
that students still need some sort
of intra-school law enforcement
agency. A new system will be
established with new officers and
new posts.
