Pioneers and cowboys adopt
ed the dances as their own but
set them to a running call tell

do, and so our Western dance
was born.
Only about 80 or 40 dances
were danced so years ago and

A major change in the square
dancing picture occurred around
World War II when the cross

spread dance material from one
border to another. Also, dur

years, there may be adoption,
but this is not ordinarily favor
ed by the Welfare Board.
Mrs. Dake said that the de-
partment is particularly hard
pressed to find homes for teen.
age boys and girls. She stressed
that these teen-agers are not
delinquent, but that until foster
homes can be found for them,
they often must be kept in in.
situations, or even detained in
training schools.
Some 365 foster parents in
Montgomery County were hon.
ored last night at a reception
in the Rockville Civic Center.
The reception, sponsored by the
county welfare board, will in
clude a program of entertain
ment and refreshments.

become so if not cared for.
Montgomery County now has
about AIS children living in
foster homes. Roger estimates
there are some 10 or Is more
for whom foster homes are
needed at once, but none are
available.
Mrs. Charles p. Dake, the
Welfare Boards homefinder for
the past 10 years, believes that

ing its pressing need for more
foster homes for two principal
reasons: a the amount of
money provided to cover the
cost of keeping a child in a
foster home is inadequate; ~
not enough families know about
the need for foster homes.
Reimbursements to cover the
cost of keeping a child in a
foster home are paid by the
State. The rates are substan.
TALLY lower than those paid by
the District of Columbia, which
also places children in foster
homes in Montgomery County,
and this puts the county at a
competitive disadvantage.
Unlike adaptive homes, foster

ing that time, neighborhood rec

dance, formerly kept alive most
ly by the Grange organization,
again became popular.
The local square dance groups
have been formed for several
years. They are eager for new,
experienced members. The level
of dancing in local clubs. while
not extremely advanced, is such
that a knowledge of the basic
figures is necessary to fully
enjoy the activity.

5000, and leave their name.
They will be included in the
first class that forms.
Locally, cost of dancing is
kept to a minimum so every
one may take part. Cost per
night, for classes and clubs
ranges from 81 to $1.50 per
couple, and this often includes
refreshments.
No drinking of alcoholic bev.
erages is allowed by the clubs
who feel that the nature of the
dance is more in keeping with
coffee or cider.
Those who might think of
joining a local club should not
confuse the intricate, fast.time

nues, where the paralysis Of our
youth IS seen daily by idleness
and unemployment, while the in
sular authorities proudly proclaim
that there is more work than
there are people available in the
Virgin Islands
Why don't we try to induce
some Of our folks who are unem-
ployed or unhappy on the main
land to return home to ell the
scores of jobs in the Virgin Islands
which are going begging? We
have proposed legislation to insti-
tute such a program. Under this
program which would be admins
tered by the Department of Agri-
culture and Labor, with the CO.
operation of the Employment
Service and the Division of Per-
sonnet, an office would be estab-
hshed in New York where Virgin
islanders interested in jobs in
their homeland may be recruited.
Our educational standards are
still unsatisfactory. We have failed
to put the necessary emphasis on
this vital activity. Not only do we
need to improve and expand edu-
cational facilities, but we must in
crease the funds for education to
put in the hands of our teachers
the tools necessary to do q better
job. Unity Party, during this ses-
sion, and in the years ahead, will
offer proposals to strengthen edu-
cation in the Virgin Islands.
We have not done as much as
we could do to develop a voca-
tional education program. We
need TO discuss with the officials
IN charge Of this program their
recommendations for developing a
vocational education program bet
ter tailored to the islands econo-
my. This program, il given the
proper financial support, could do
4 great deal to FIJI the constant
and growing need Of the islands
for skilled tradeannen, hotel per-
sonnet and other workers. We
can't Gil this need with half
measures.
Years ago when we provided
scholarships Of $500 each, it went

u long way toward meeting the
normal expenses of the college
student. Today, with college costs
zooming a $500 scholarship Of
loan is sadly inadequate. We have
proposed legislation to increase
scholarship grants and loans to at
least $750.
Unity Party IS happy to see the
prosperity which local business is
enjoying. In passing q new tax

centives to permit business to ex-

Sen.O ttleY at Opening
Of Leg. Session
Continued from yesterday
We feel it is cruel to say to a
worker who has suffered the
loss 0 both eyes, or who may
otherwise become totally and
permanently incapacitated, as
a result Of an injury suffered
on the job, that we shall pay
you compensation for a few
years, then cut you off with
out a dime, although his dis
ability continues until his
death. Legislation is being of
fered which would make it
mandatory that payments to
such a permanently and total
ly disabled worker continue
throughout his life. The Cow
eminent Insurance Fund is in
a position to pay such benefits
and more.
We think it is in the interest
Of the people Of these islands that
q physician be stationed in the
hospitals at all times to be imme-
diately available In the event Of
emergencies. Legislation to this
effect has been offered.
The current issue Of 'The
Civic,n the official publication Of
the American Virgin Islands Civic
Association, has an article by
Malcolm jackson which refers to
I h e unemployment situation
among Virgin Islanders in New
York. As you know there are
more than four million mem-
ployed in the United States today.
Mr.. Jackson said in his article:
'sThe answer is found in the tragic
picture to be observed daily in the
