gan's Sen. Mcnamara, Is that even
the Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare admits that at least
Is per cent of the aged have bills
running to about $500 per year.
If an old person is sick contin-
uously for an entire year, as many
are, the bill may run as high as
$4,000. So an elderly sick person
in this condition would have to
pay 81 $50 towards his own medi-

Senator Gruening called for
Representative McGovern's
election to the Senate from the
middle Of the floor as walters
with full trays of beef strogan-

him.
BY the time the ice cream
arrived, nator Kennedy,
dressed in dark blue, made his
entrance. He almost collided
with a waiter bearing of the
remains of the entree, drew a
few whistles and cheers.
The front-runner loped up
to the head table and promised
that the Houses loss would be
the Senate's gain"
/ Representa- tive McGovern,
whose speech was supposed to
be the dessert of the luncheon,

The Representative, who
confessed that in childhood he
had been so bashful, he had
hardly got through the first
three grades of school, sounded
more like a presidential candi-
date than any Of his powerful
sponsors.

he himself is running against
Senator Mundt.

be possessed of an intrepid
spirit, a high heart and a quiet

strangled in his own vocabulary
and who is not snlothered in

writer's"
These qualities reside in all
the major candidates of the
Democratic Party" he said
gently, mentioning no names.
Humphrey Offers Advice
Just as he was finishing,
Senator Humphrey hustled in
and dished out a rich mixture
Of sentiment, fight and prac-
tical advice that brought him

Senator Humphrey as a
native son of South Dakota was
practically assured of the
States presidential delegate,
but he never looked back. He
called for the defeat Of conser-
vative Republicans who have
needed a whipping for a long
time" reminded his listeners
that South Dakota papers are
all Republican but still print
letters to the editor, and said
that it would do much to re-
lieve the tension around his
house If House member Nc

Delaware Farms
Speed Up Flowing
To Combat Borer

A lot of things happened to
Delaware's corn last year. The
price was low, the weather was
hot and dry, several diseases
and insects worked on it and
black birds did their bit.
But, of all the natural enem-
les of the corn grower and his
corn plants, the corn borer was
undoubtedly the most import
ant, according to Dr. Dale Bray,
chairman of the department OF
entomology at the University OF
Delaware.
The drought helped by caus-
ing the corn to dry and ripen
earlier. So did the wilt desease
and stalk rot. Corn earworm
and other insects contributed,
but the corn borer, to the tune
of four borers per plant, really
did the damage.
The combination of disease

bushels per acre in the field
after picking. Some fields, ac-
tually measured showed that

Ears dropped off before the
picker could get them and many
stalks fell before picking.
Some of this corn was savec
by hand picking the field be
hind the mechanical picker. Bu1
this is an expensive way to har
vest corn.
Corn growers can strike ar
effective blow at the borer by

Ground Covers Much More Practical
Than Grasses for Many Lawn Spots

Even on the best kept prop
critics, there are places where
it is difficult or even impossible
to grow grass. Some spots that
will grow grass are difficult to
cut. Under trees, on slopes, and
around shrubs, ground covers
are more practical than grass.
MIR. Robert Stevens, Extension
horticulturist, University of Del
aware, says there are ground
covers that will grow in almost
any location. Some are ever
green, some Towering, and some
are creeping vines.
The most popular of the COM
mon evergreen ground covers
are:

Periwinkle, of Myrtle-produces

but prefers sunlight.

mittee with the exception of
Eric Bough met pursuant to the
call of Insular Party Chairman
Joseph Alexander, on Wednesday
evening February 10, 1860, in st.
Thoma, Virgin Islands, and was
called to order at 8:45 pm. for
such business as might properly
come before the body. The
minutes of the last meeting were
read and on motion, duly second
ed and adopted, after noting that
the sum of $4,000 was collected
for sustaining memberships to be
RENTED to the National Conn
mittee Treasurer McCloskey. The
Chairman read several letters re-
ceived since the last meeting,
from Messrs, Paul M. Butler, Ma
tional Chairman, Treasurer Nc
Closkey, State Chairman Hugh ].
Lemire of Montana, and Fred
erick Dorsch, President Of the
Frederiksted Club, who reported
on the election of officers for
1960-61.
Chairman Alexander presented
the 7JnlciaI GaH Tor Jne 1901 ma
tional Convention to be held in
Los Angeles, California, July IL
at 500 pm. (POST) for the no
mination Of candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President Of the
United States and the adoption OF
a Party platform for the cam
paign. In this call, under the dis
tribution of votes totalling 1921,
the Virgin Islands will have four
(4) votes, with the National Com
mittee members having one-Oalf
vote each in addition to the three
votes allocated to the Islands.
In this connection the Insular
Committee authorized the Chair
man to call the Quadrennial
Democratic Insular Convention,
heretofore held each four years,
for the purpose of electing the
delegates of the Virgin Islands
Democratic Party, to attend SAID
National Convention. The date
set for this Quadrenniaf conven.
ton is May s, 1860, to be held
this year in St. Thomas, under
the rules heretofore prevailing

mittee and National Conventions,
all as provided in the Manual Of
the Democratic Party as estab-
lished over many years.
The Insular Convention will be
made up of delegates from the
four Democratic Clubs of the
Virgin Islands who are certified
by the officers thereof, pursuant
to call and distribution Of votes,
proclaimed by Chairman Alex

Committee members was a let

1860, addressed to National Com
mitteeman Paiewonsky. respond

Establishment of new Democratic
Clubs in the Virgin Islands. In
order that the public and all par

Dear Ralph:
In response to your inquiry con-
corning the establishment of new
Democratic Clubs in the Virgin
Islands, / want you to know that
the National Committee not only
does not have any objection to
s
the forming of clubs in the Is
lands but enthusiastically en-
dorse this project. This Is q mat
ter completely under the jurisdic-
lion Of the Democratic Parry Of
the Virgin Islands.
Democratic clubs are not part of
the official organic: ation Of the
National Party. They do not take
the place Of the official Party or
ganization. But clubs can and do
perform a very useful function IN
providing outlets for enthusiasm
and interest in the Party.

Thus it will be seen that the
procedure outlined above is the
recognized practice, which we
will follow scrupulously, in ac-
cord with the foregoing letter,
the Democratic Manual and our
own precedents established for
guidance for many years.
1t was reported that the Virgin
Islands Democratic Party has now
met its quota of finances beyond
the year 1860. The several affairs
sponsored recently, plus sustain
ing memberships open to any con
tributor of $1,000 or more, were
responsible for exceeding our
quota, Mr.. Butler advised Chair
man Alexander of a new sustain
ing membership program by which
the clubs may retain one-half of
any amounts they collect by this
method, and requested sugges-
tons. Of those desiring participa-
ton.
Copies Of the letter from Mon
lana State Chairman Lemire
went to all State Chairmen for
their information. It raised seri-
Gus questions of propriety regeid-
ing the National Committees
action, at Mr.. Buffers suggestion,
of voting themselves a one-half
vote in the National Convention,
in contravention of most states
statutory method of contributing
their delegations pursuant to the
Convention Call.
In closing the meeting at 1890
am, the Committee named a
group consisting of Messrs. Alex
ander Moorhead, Ralph Pale
wonsky and Daniel w. Ambrose
to outline the Party platform to
be considered at the Quadrennial
Convention, while oth5r Conyen-
ton Committees will be desig-
mated later. It was finally moved
and seconded that the foregoing
statement covering the status of
the Democratic Party of the Vir-
gin Islands be released by Chair
mar Alexander, which motion

that it is also necessary for a
solid two party political system
to be established in the Islands. /
know that you are moving in
this direction and / hope that
your efforts will have the support
of all officers and members Of the
official party organization.
The great benefit Of the estab-
lishment of Democratic clubs is
that they give more people an OPP
portunity to be identified with
the Democratic Party and to be
brought into active participation
in local politics. We do Nc. issue
charters for Democratic clubs but
we do recognize and encourage
such activities by writing letters
of congratulations and extend of

bOHrs and summer day..."

wv HEN Thoreau wrote that line he was think
WoodchopperS and the Iron Horse had not yet
greatly damaged the beauty of its setting A boy
could go to the pond and lie on his back against
the seat of boat, lazily drifting from shore to
shore while the looms dived and the swallows
dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such
sunny hours and summer days when idleness was
the most attractive and productive business
| too was once boy in love with pond, rich
in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and sum-
mer are still what they always were, but the boy
and the pond have changed. The boy, who is now
man, no longer finds much time for idle drifting.
The pond has been annexed by great city. The
swamps where herons once hunted are now
drained and filled with houses The bay where
waterliIies once quietly Aoated is now harbor
for motor boats. The pond that the boy loved no
longer exists-except in the mans memory of it,
Some people insist that only today and tomor
row matter But how much poorer we would be if
we really lived by that rule! So much of what we
do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten
So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never
happens. The past is the bank in which we store
our most valuable possessions: the memories that
give meaning and depth to our lives.
THOSE who truly treasure the past will not be-
moan the passing of the good old days because
days enShrined in memory are never lost. Death
itself is powerless to still remembered voice or
erase a remembered smile And for one boy who
is now man, there is pond which neither time
nor tide can change, where he can still spend
quiet hour in the sun.
