BY H TIME an employee reaches the top rung
OF his ladder, all things should point to an almost flaw
less performance of duty. He has worked long, and hard,
ne knows his way around, and he certainly knows his
Job. To have become chief carries with it the clear I'M
derstanding that the employee proved his worth long
before appointment, especially when he comes up thru
the ranks. He should by that time be secure in his job,
except for some very obvious breach Of duty.
FINALLY, NO SERIOUS, conscientious employee
will want to know that his position is no more perma-
nent than the shifting winds A system Of civil service
appointments would take care of that, and at the same
time bring greater incentive with greater sincerity and
devotion to duty.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH PUBLIC SAFETY?

wa WACS4N6 Win ObL4\ oAr FL e!
THE PUBLIC SAFETY Department has been com
ing before the public in a not too favorable light recent
~. For quite some time the position of director Of that
department got kicked around, with small politics play
ing a none too commendable part Then a director was
appointed, and when it was thought that tranquility
might prevail, the skids were put under him, and again
there is no director.
ON H HEELS Of all this the chief of police is
dismissed as being inefficient and incapable of carrying
out the duties of his office. So, for the good Of the de-
partment, Mr.. Felix gets his walking papers.
WHAT IS WRONG with the Public Safety Depart
ment, anyway? Is there no one who could take hold of
the situation and bring some semblance of order and
permancy to it's operations and functions? And if there
is such a person why is he not given the opportunity?
w SUGGESTIONS are here ventured as posi-
BILE outs. First, a study should be made with a view to
putting that Department on its feet once and for all.
Last year Life magazine noted that the model police
force in the United States was at Cincinnati. Ohio. and
that many cities had sent members of their police stats
to observe and learn. It was gratifying to note that the
Virgin Islands was among these.
AN EFFICIENCY study should be made by a capa-
bic, impartial agency, or experts from cities of compare
BILE size and conditions. This done, steps should be taken
to put whatever recommendations are made into effect
promptly, D.
SECONDLY, THIS department and its personnel
should be put on some sort Of civil service status SO that
permanency of employment is assured. What is happen
ing to former Police Chief Felix is a tragic commentary
on the way a department is run. When a chief, or head,
can be dismissed out of hand because he is inefficient,
this disclosure coming after years in the position, then
questions are raised in the minds Of thinking men every

during this fiscal year.

|during this fiscal year.
Collection of revenues, to date,
has been in line with the rev.
enue estimates.
The cash position of the Cen
eral Fund is satisfactory. No loans
were made to supplement the
General Fund during the fiscal
year, a definite Improvement over
previous years. During the fiscal
year to date, loans totalling $780,
900 were repaid from the General
Fund; all commitments against
the General Fund during the year
were paid from the fund, and the
cash balance, to date therein, is
sufficient to liquidate the known
outstanding obligations of the
fund to date.
The credit of the Government
is good. All vouchers presented to
the Department for payment are
given prompt attention and UNI
less they fail to fulfill audit re-
qslirements, are paid within "a
working hours. There are no pay
ments outstanding in this Depart
ntent except those undergoing
normal processing.
Two employees of the Tax Divi-
sion received Internal Revenue
Service training in the United
States-one, a very extensive
course. New employees have been
employed to fill vacancies brought
about by the reorganization of
the Department. A training pro-
gram has been instituted by the
Tax Division of the Department,
and it is felt that such a program
will be a great benefit towards
tax enforcement and tax collec-
ton, the financial backbone of our
Government.
Although contracts have been
let for the lease and option to pur-
chase mechanical accounting ma
chimes, the manufacturers have
indicated their willingness to re-
negotiate a contract on a straight
purchase plan. This latter plan
will enable the Government to
save $4,000 per year for two
years. A study Of the capabilities
of these machines opens a new
vista of fast, correct, efficient ac-
counting, and the production of

Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
Veterinary Medicine : The bru-
c~ellosis program has been com
pleted in the Virgin Islands. ard
this area has now been accredited
as brucellosis free.
An outbreak of hog cholera in
ST. Thomas and st. John was
brought under control. With the
present vaccination program I'M

ease will be eradicated.
General : Preparation Of a State
and Survey Plan for the construc-
ton of new medical and hospital
facilities under the Halliburton
Act is in the process of compile

for Federal aid, the plan must be
approved by the Surgeon General
Of the US. Public Health Service.
EDUCATION
A revised Organization Chart
was approved by the Governors
Committee on October 4. 1857.
Several positions required by this
organization have not been acti-
waited, but plans for the future
include full operations under the
revised organization.
The Board of Education and the
Board for Vocational Education
have directed the policies of the
Department in a most encourage
ing manner. The teacher-training
program under the direction Of
DR.. Alonzo G. Moron of Hampton
Institute has been continued with
a summer session in st. Croix, two
courses during the wear, and semi
mar in January.
Elementary schools continued
to function with greater efficiency
in some areas as Supplies and
some textbooks have been provid-
ed. However, these are continuing
needs which will not be satisfied
in one year.
Programs have been conducted
for veterans and adults in voca-
tional and other subjects.
School Bus Transportation
New buses are urgently needed
both in St. Thomas and in Saint
Croix to replace average and I'M
suitable vehicles which we find
impossible to maintain in depend
able operating condition.
Department Headquarters, ST.
Thomas : In the Spring of 1855,
this Department was obliged to
vacate its offices at "Quarters B."
at which time headquarters offices
were transferred to the former

A great advantage will be
gained upon the complete estab.
lishment of the Internal Audit
Section within the Department. II
is expected that this additional
function of the Department will
he completely instituted by the
beginning of the coming fiscal
year. This section will serve as a
watchdog on all departments to
insure that the laws and regula-
tions pertaining to financial mat
tiers of the Virgin Islands Govern
ment are being carried o u t
correctly and being reported
promptly.
HEALTH
Office of the Commissioner : A
major accomplishment was the
reorganization of the Department
of Health, effective January 9,
1858. in accordance with survey
made at our request by the u. S.
Public Health Service. Eliminat-
ed was the Division of General
Administration, and the transfer
of its administrative functions to
the Office of the Commissioners.
The Bureau of Medical Social
Services and Maintenance were
transferred to the Division of
Hospital and Medical Services;
and the Bureau of Health Educa-
ton was assigned to the Division
of Public Health Services. Added
to the Health Department as of
July l, 1857 was the Division of
Veterinary Medicine. The Depart
ment now streamlined under the
Organizational Chart consists of
the following: Office of the Com
missioner; the Division of Hospi-
tai and Medical Services; Division
of Public Health Services; and
Division of Veterinary Medicine.
Division of Hospital and Medi-
cal Services : At long last, a
medical records room and appro-
pirate shelving for filing patients
records have been realized at the
Knud Hansen Memorial Hospital.
Similar facilities will be provided
shortly at the Charles HARDWOOD
Memorial Hospital. This is a for
ward step toward accreditation.
The nurses retroactive pay
schedule totalling $42,50O was
completed during December 1857,
and served to boost the morale of
the nursing staff. In addition, all
nursing positions were re-allocat-
ed in conformity with. decisions
made by the Health Department
and the Division of Personnel
jointly.
A three-months in-service train
ing program for nurses in the
pediatrics and obstetrics wards
was sponsored by the Maternal
Child Health and Crippled Chill

sheereSt froth once more,
With. of course. a twist Of
sex involving such pairs as
Clark Gable and Doris Day,
Brigitte Bardot and Charles
Boyer. and finally Mr.. Grant
and Miss Bergman.
The affairs with which
these are concerned are rather
far removed from the most
sacred of loves but they are
fun to watch from the safe
distance Of a theater seat.
1t is possible that the
popularity Of sophisticated
romantic comedy. more ac-
curately romantic farce. viii
start a wave Of such films.
Success at the box office is
almost invariably the inspira-
ton of a trend in film fash
ions.
Standard Is High
Producers of a sudden mind
to do this sort Of thing them
selves will be hard put to at
tain the entertainment level
of the three films mentioned,
most specially "Indiscreet."
This is the almost perfect
specimen of its type, one Of
those amusing love stories
with a hard, gem-like polish
played by two stars, brilliantly
endowed for this sort Of
thing. This, of course, will
come as no surprise to those
who remember Miss Bergman
and Grant in Notorious"
which they made for Alfred
Hitchcock-and apparently
for posterity via television.
The surprise is not what
they are able to make out
of "Indiscreet" but what
Norman Krasna has achieved
with it. The picture is based
upon a Krasna play Of some
