Continued from yesterday

Third, Approval Of Resolution
authorizing the Governor of the
Virgin Islands to sell a tract of
government-owned land, Rich
nIond Area, Christiansted, Saint
Croix, for construction of a 264-
unit Public Housing Project" The
Virgin Islands Housing and Re
development Authority is pre-
pared to purchase this land for
the purpose of building additional
low-rent housing on st. Croix at
Christiansted; all that is needed IS
a resolution from the Legislature
authorizing the Governor to sell
the land for the purpose specified.
I know that you r in agreement
on the necessity for this housing
project and that you will pass this
Resolution speedily.
Fourth consideration Of a bill
ITO Provide for the Retirement of
the Officials and Employees of the
Government Of the Virgin Islands
and its Related Agencies, and for
other purposes" So that we can
have an orderly and businesslike
method of providing retirement
benefits for employees of the
Government of the Virgin Islands,
and so that true and faithful en-
ployees are benefited for their
services to the Government, I urge
that consideration be given to the
passage of this much needed le-
gislation. The bill has been and
is being studied by your Finance
Committee, l understand, and
$150,000 was appropriated for this
purpose at the last session. / am
not attempting to urge that you
take final action on this measure
if in your considered judgment
you require more time in which
to properly evaluate its very COM
plicated provisions. However, if
you are satisfied that the proposed
Retirement Law, as revised, is in
such shape as to merit its enact
ment at this time, then it is hoped
that you will see fit to make its
great benefits available to our gov
eminent employees. Be prudent
, 1958-12-13
TEXT OF GOV. MERWINS ADDRESS TO
THE SPECIAL SESS. OF THE LEGISLATURE

and cautious, but take action if
you can.
Fifth, Legislation Amending
Title 8, Section AIS of the Virgin
Islands Code to abolish the pre-
sent Board of Examiners of Medi-
cine, Surgery, Dentistry, Pharma-
cy and Nursing and to create in
its stead (a) A Board of Medical
Examiners, (b) "A Board of Dental
Examiners, (c) A Board of Phar-
macy, Cd A Board of Nurses
Examiners; and to amend certain
sections of Title 81 relative to
examination and licensing of
Physicians, Surgeons, Dentists,
Pharmacists and Nurses" To me
it is only logical that DoctoTl
should examine Doctors, Dentists
examine Dentists; Pharmacists
examine Pharmacists, etc., for the
issuance of licenses to practice in
the Virgin Islands. With a Board
established for each branch or
profession within the field of
medicine and with the members
of each Board also members of
that profession it is to me most
logical that more interest will be
taken in the proper preparation
and execution of the examina-
tions. / urge the passage Of legis-
lation required to accomplish this.
Sixth, Amendment to Bill No.
T27, Second Legislature of the
Virgin Islands, To Authorize the
Expenditure of Funds from the
Special Road Fund in the Treas
ury of the Virgin Islands. 1t
seems that when this bill was
passed funds were appropriated to
do specific construction and re-
pairs to specific road projects on
all three islands. Now I am adj
vised by the Commissioner Of
Public Work as well as the Co
ordinator of Essential Public Pro-
;ects that to effectively do this
work equipment is necessary. In
other words, in Bill 727 you speci-
fed the jobs to be done, but you
omitted providing for the tools to
do them with. I know that you
will not hesitate to amend this
, 1958-12-13

bill to provide for the necessary
equipment with which to do the
work outlined. At the same time
/ urge that by further amendment
to Bill 727 you provide the Exc
cutive with more latitude respect
ing emergency road repairs end
maintenance.

EASY-TO-SHED
SHOES ADVISED
FOR JAPAN TRIP

Today's tip from q
travel expert:
II you're planning a trip
to Japan, take shoes which
are easy to doff and don.
That's the advice OF
Charles Hagedorn, OF ia
pan Air Lines.
"A custom in Japan is
the removal Of footwear
before entering a Japanese
home, hotel, temple, or
other typical japanese
quarters-sometimos even
shops, restaurants and
small theaters." Mr.. Hage-
dorm says.
"Since most tourists will
be doing a lot Of sightsee-
ing-which means taking
of and putting on ones
shoes frequently its a
good idea TO wear shoes
that come of and 60 on
easily.
Women, especially.
avoiding ties and straps,
find it comfortable and
very convenient TO wear
shoes they can step into
and out Of without stoop-
ing. Most men have to sit
down to unite their shoes
but the japanese have
marvellous shoe horns with
handles a foot or two long
$50 you don't even have
to lean over which are a
big help when putting
shoes back on"
