Miss, said her granddaughter ac-
cidently knocked clock off table
while playing. The little girl hurr-
iedly picked it up and put it to her

"Mommy, Mommy, the clock has

Later, Mrs. Sellers overheard her

UnificatiOn Of Egg
CO-Ops Urged At
NEPPCO Workshop

Northeastern poultry and egg
egg marketing cOOperatives should
centralize their operations in six
key locations in the 14-state area,
according to a survey completed
by the federal Farmers Coopera-
tive Service at Washington, d. G.
The recommendation and a re-
port on the survey, was one of the
major presentations at the two
day Winter Business Management
Workshop held in Washington at
the Hotel Willard under the wing
of the Division of Cooperatives of
the Northeastern Poultry Produc-
ers Council (NEPPCO).
Addressing a meeting of some 10
odd managers and directors repre-
senting 27 marketing cooperatives
in the area, Henry Bradford, FCA
official, pointed out that centraliz-
ing through federation or other
means was imperative for future
service and growth.
One of the six areas-New Eng
land-has already achieved this
end, he reported. through the Egg
Marketing Division of the Eastern
States Farmers Exchange, West
Springfield, Mass.
Egg prices, both wholesale and
retail, came in for close examina-
ton and discussion during the two
day session. A panel discussion on
the shortcomings of egg price re-
porting highlighted the changed
nature of today's egg market.
Stress was placed on the difficulty
of adequate price reporting when
such large proportion of the pro-
duct is priced on base quotation
with little genuine trading infor-
nation to back it up.
Both buyers and sellers have
abandoned bartering for price, pan
ell members declared Today they
set their sights for the spread
above or below the "base quota
tion." This may be the easy way to
sell, but it puts unwarranted pres
sure on the sales reporter.
Retail markups on eggs came in
for discussion by another panel, as
did the problems of working with
new types of electronic and me-
chanical egg handling equipment.
The two are not unrelated.
Forum members took the view
that as the new equipment provid-
ed more uniform, high quality
packs, the lowered risk for the re-
taller could be expected to clip the
price spread between wholesale and
retail.
An announcement was made at
the conference on the organization
al steps for a new exporting cor
poration under NEPPCO's sponsor
ship and using the facilities of the
Northeastern Poultry Cooperative
Association. This projects has been
one of the major planks in the
Councils Project Ga long
range program for improving the
lot of poultry producers.
Marketing orders for poultry and
eggs also came in for sharp scru-
tiny, with Prof. Thomas C. MOrri-
son of the University of Connect
cut, on the rostrum. The short term
benefits that might possibly ac-
crue if the operational problems
could be solved might easily be
overcome by the long run aspects
of lower consumption and increas-
ed competition from other foods, it
was pointed out.

ance payments as part of my

A-No. Proceeds of fire insurance
policies need not be counted as
income in applying for VA PEN
sion.
Q-VA, at my request, has been
holding my CT insurance diyi-
dends, using them to pay my
premiums in advance. I'd like
to change that arrangement,
and ask VA to hold my divi-
dends on deposit with interest,
subject to withdrawal on re-
quest. How do / go about it?
A-Write to the VA district Office
which services your CT insur-
ance policy. Give them your in
surance number, and explain
how you wish to change your
dividend plan.
Q-I hear people talking about the
equalization clause" in the
new pension system. Just
what does this mean? l am the
widow of Korea veteran and
will soon be eligible for PEN
sion under this new law.
A-The prase equalization clause"
refers to the fact that eligibil-
ity requirements based on war
service of a veteran become
alike or equal for widows and
children of World Wars / and
II and the Korean conflict on
or after July 1, 1860. 1t will no
longer be necessary for you to
establish that your husband had
a service-connected disability at
the time of his death, as it was
formerly.
Q-I get two VA benefits: my
monthly training allowance,
and compensation for a service
connected disability. Do / have
to report either on my 1859
Federal income tax report?
A-No. Veterans benefits are tax
free. Interest on CT insurance
dividends left with VA on de-
posit, however, should be re-
ported.

When you clean the house, get

In the kitchen put much-used

Mr.. President and Members of

that the state of the Territory of
the Virgin Hands is GOOD, very
good indeed; that revenues are
the highest IN the history Of the
territory with every promise to
continue so, that / am submitting
to you, for the first time, a bal
anced budget containing also the
highest appropriations in the his
tory of the Virgin Islands; that
there is excellent cooperation be-
tween the executive and legisla-
tive branches Of the government,
and every reason why this should
continue; and that the islands
are at the peak of an ere of un-
precedented business and COM
mercia! activity.
In such time of prnsner:*v I IS
fitting and proper that we con-
template with thankful hearts

ever be mindful that these gifts
are ours as a sacred trust. 1t thus
behooves each one Of us to be
wise and prudent in our delibera-
tons so as to insure the greatest
good for the greatest number of
our people. May God guide you

gate federal and local funds be-
fore June 80, I ask your indul-
gence on this matter.
I am proposing a 80 Hote.
Room Occupancy Tax. Such a tax
is in effect in Washington, DC.
in New York, in Hawaii, and
many other States. 1t is not tax
on hotels proper but a tax which
is easily collected from the oc-
cupants. 1t would not, in my
opinion, do any damage Whatso-
ever to the tourist business OF
the islands and would provide
nearly half a million dollars OF
additional revenue-thus saving
the internal revenue matching
funds for capital improvements to
our public buildings, roads, har-
bors and airports.
Bills recommended by our wild
life experts and by the Inter
Virgin Islands Conference for
conservation Of turtles, Holsters,
birds and other wildlife, are be-
ing sent to you. They r very
important and will be compile
mented, l understand, by similar
legislation in our neighboring
British Virgin Islands.

amendments to the homestead
law are being proposed following,
in many instances, recommended
tons of your special investigat-
ing committee. AS we are about
to move ahead with despatch on
the homestead programs, / urge
your early and favorable action
on these amendments.
Because it is likely that we shall
be granted title from the federal
government in the near future to
the Harry S. Truman Airport, |
am recommending that we conso-
lidate all harbor and airport acti-
vities into one Division within
the Department of Public Works,
and that the revenues of harbors
and airports hereafter be used
solely for their operation and
maintenance on budgets to be
passed by the Legislature.
An Act to provide for more
stringent control of taxicab opera
tons will also. be submitted.
There will also be sent to you a
number of amendments to the
Virgin Islands Code, in many re
spects to simplify exiting laws
and to bring their provisions in
line with existing established
practices and procedures.

any amendment to the Industrial
