! assume that at this mo-
ment you feel very much as
do. A little tired from all the
festivities. relaxed to the point
of danger, and somewhat un-
willing to start new activities
So let us get into the most
playful happy mood and try
our hand at arranging only q
few pieces Of breakfast fruit.
Not for a party or for show
Just for the fun Of it and the
adventure of seeing what we
can see.
I do not aim to give you an
illustrated assignment which
you should copy, I endeavor
only to stimulate your imagi-
nation.
Only q Few Fruits
Any fiat surface, a board, a
tray, a large tile can hold our
composition. ! chose a black
lacquer board rather than a
fruit basket or compete, be-
cause I wanted only a few
pieces Of fruit by themselves
rather than in association with
q container. I used one cluster
OF green grapes, a small bunch
OF red grapes, an apple, a
brown pear and two bananas.
The grapes presented me
with the possibility Of using
little spheres in as many posi-
bic groupings as l wished to
imagine. These were my man
ageableS, which I could pile up,
elongate, reduce, or do with as
I wished, provided I could han
die them so that they didn't
look picked over with their
stems showing and those brown
ribs looking like mouse nests.
Other Fruits Less Subtle
The unmanageables are the
curved yellow cylinders Of the
bananas, the large sphere Of
the red checked apple and the
conical brown pear.
These elemental forms I
shall combine until I feel happy
with the result.
This will happen when they
become one pleasing and har-
monious unit rather than sin
gle shapes Of various sizes and
colors.
1t also can happen only If I
respect their characteristics
and group them in such a way
that each element in my group
demands complete attention.
From one form the eye must
glide over to the next form
along transitional guide lines
which may be visible or not,
continuous or interrupted.
The total sum of these indi-
vidual forms give a finely inte-
grated and interesting sculpted
effect.

Appendix /.
REPORT OF SPECIAL LABOR STUDY COMMITTEE
April Il, 1860

~ - 40OO +
The Labor Study Committee, which was appointed
pursuant to Resolution adopted by the Virgin Islands Lee
gislature, obtained considerable data from governmental
departments and private employers showing the salaries
and wages paid to employees in the Virgin Islands.
This data indicated that, in most ~categories, en-
ployees in private enterprise are receiving wages in ex-
cess Of wages paid to government employees performing
similar work.
For example. several construction companies report
ed paying wages ranging from 85c an hour to ST an hour to
laborers. The highest paid 1aborer on the government pay
roll gets 73c an hour, and this latter figure represented a
recent increase to prevent employees leaving the govern
ment to accept more attractive employment In private en-
terprise. But many categories of laborers in the govern
ment are still paying only 58c an hour while q few
receive 63c per hour. In these c~ategories are messengers,
w~atchmen, %janitors, street cleaners garbage workers, etc
Nurse aides, laundresses, kitchen helpers and many other.
workers still get 58c an hour.
It should be noted, as a matter of comparison, that
the Virgin Islands Corporation pays ~custodial workers, in
Guiding ianitors, and also W%atchmen, from $2290 to $3145
a year. The Legislature of the Virgin Islands pays a Gus
todial worker $1,000 a year, and q messenger S2lOO. For the
same positions the Virgin Islands Government pays $1,000.
The Virgin Islands Government pays a minimum Of
$1,000 to a clerk, clerk-typist or lerk-stenographer This
is a most unrealistic policy. In the first place, it is unfair
to put a stenographer in the same pay range with a per-
son who has no higher ability, and who knows no steno-
graphy. But more important, it is impossible TO get a clerk,
even one of poor ability, to work for $1,000 today. In prI
vate enterprise, clerical9jobs are going begging at $500 a
month. While the executive departments pay a clerk
$1,000 a year, a similar clerk who works for the legislature
gets $2700-$75 more a month.
People who work with their hands in the government
have long been Disseminated against. In private industry,
there is a greater appreciation of the value OF the non-ot-
fee worker. Since the establishment OF the committee, a
Wage Order went into effect affecting workers IN hotels,
restaurants, wholesale and retail industries, construction
and agriculture. This new wage order for private ems
ployees makes it mandatory that the Virgin Islands Gov
