Dear Senator LaWaetz

Az 4 new i~nhabitant Of the Island Of ST. Croix, u. S.
Virgin Islands and one particularly interested in the chill
dren and youth OF the area, | have become keenly inter
ested in two matters concerning them, which | believe
will be brought up sometime within this present leglsla-
tive session. Through this letter hope to encourage your
support for these petitions. They are as follows:
First, concerning the board rate for foster children placed
in homes by the VI. Child Welfare. Presently the rate
is a flat $4,000 per month per child. 1t is difficult for me to
see how a private home can adequately care for a child on
this sum when / find it difficult to do SO in this institution
which receive many donations in the lines OF food and
clothing. Presently you will be hearing OF a letter from
the st. Croix Foster Parents Club going into more detail
concerning this subject. ] understand the St. Thomas Eos
ter Parents club has already sent such a letter. From
these letters you will hear from those who are in the 81
tuation how strained the present board rate is IN their
homes. 7 urge YOU to think Of these children on the Islands
who need this service desperately and then to support a
petition for a higher board rate, therefore encouraging
more families to serve as foster parents.
The second matter concerns the monies which SUPPORT
the v. l. Youth Commission headed up by Pastor James
Amos of st. Thomas. | was surprised to hear that no
special ALLEGATION has been set aside for this WorthWhlle
mmissi and that they are being supported under the
already strained budget of the Social Welfare. | sincerely
believe that a. commission such as this is worthwhile and
that if the legislature thinks so too that they should set
aside special fund for it. Again | encourage your sup
port on this matter.
thank you for your time and thoughts.
Sincerely,

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

IT have been in this country
only a few months" writes a
Washington ID. c. CORE
spondent. Thanks to an excel
lent grounding in English in my
native land I have had little
difficulty making myself under
stood by the natives here. Ever
so often, however. / hear a
word or phrase which simply
does not appear in any of the
word books / consult. Twice
recently on TV ! have heard
performers-Miss Dinah Shore
and Tennessee Ernie Ford. I
believe - use a term that
sounded like If had my
druthers.' That last word isn't
In my Webster. Can you tell me
its meaning?"
The phrase IF I had my
druthers" has been common
throughout Southern and
Western America at least since
1875, when Bret Harte used it
in his book THE Argonauts. :"
"Druthers" is a corruption Of
FATHERS" and the phrase sim
ply means IF I had my choice
or preference"
Harold Wentworth's Amer
lean Dialect Dictionary records
other variations in common
dialect - 'ruther," "ruthers. ="
"rathers" and "druthers"- and
notes that the term is used in
terchangeably in the singular
and plural. It remains, how
ever, a folk phrase-not one to
be used in formal writing or
speaking.
Do you number any "foofs"
among your acquaintance?
Before you Jump to a hasty
conclusion and aver that you
wouldn't be caught dead talk
ing to a "foof"-perhaps you'd
better find out what they are.
A "foof" is a member Of an

of the United States legation
in Budapest. 1t was learned to-
day. She had been held with
out trial for about a year.

some reason to believe Peter

let out of prison. If he has been
released, it would be the first
time in a year all the legations

Hungarian authorities have
said they are planning a new
approach to the United States
in an effort to improve the
badly strained relations pre-
vailing since the 1856 revolt.
The release Of United States

preliminary.
