April April Z, 1861
The Honorable
The President Of the Legislature
of the Virgin Islands
Charlotte Amalie
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands ..@ i.
My dear Mr.. President:
I have the honor to hand you herewith draft Of a
bill to provide additional appropriations in total amount
of $685. 48 40 for the operation of the Government of
the Virgin Islands for the fiscal year July /, 1860 to
June 80, 1861.
In justification Of this deficiency appropriation bill,
I am pleased to submit the following:
/. The Office of the Administrative Assistant for
st. Croix has incurred additional obligations totalling
approximately $4,000 due to the number of official
visitors in st. Croix and the necessity of frequent trips
of the Governor and occupancy of Government House.
Of this deficiency Of 5000, $1,000 has been met by
transfer of funds from the Office of the Attorney Gen
eral. An appropriation of 1900 is needed and request
ed.
2. During the month of February the sum Of
$4,000 was found to be needed urgently to continue
the Tax Reassessment program. This matter was jusi-
fled before the Committee on Finance of the Legisla-
ture which approved a temporary transfer of $4,000
from various other divisions of the Office of the Govern
ment Secretary to the Tax Reassessment Program. At
that time, my predecessor pointed out that the appro-
~priations which were thus temporarily reduced would
have to be reimbursed or they would run out Of salary
funds shortly. An appropriation Of $4,000 is included
for this purpose.
3. AS the Legislature knows the Government of the
Virgin Islands is occupying Navy Property at No 70
KrondprindSens Gade in which is located the Depart
ment Of Property and Procurement and the National
Park Service. The National Park Service has requested
that the floors, walls, ceilings and shutters Of the pro
perty occupied by it be repaired. Inspection indicates
that the interior of the Park Service office is in a de-
plorable condition, the flooring is termite-eaten, and
other needed repairs are necessary. + recommend an
appropriation Of So 1000 for this purpose.

Happy in "ValIey"
This man tells his story
without rancor. He's just as
happy in the valley as he was
on the cliff.
This man had no desire
to pick himself up and try
again .. especially since the
Social Security and the pen
sion would supply the beef
and potatoes he and his wife
needed.
But still it's an awful waste
of human resources - for
which the individual himself
must bear the blame-for a
man who held a key job three
months ago to become use
less.
The moral OF all this? Stop
kidding yourself. You are
going to be retired when your
number comes up. Get ready
for it.

"One thing that gave me
hope was the fact that other

labor union situation in
which nobody was quite sure
whether the company would
have to give me severance
pay if it retired me. Sever
ance pay in my case would
have come to $500 and I
figured this was big enough
to give a vice president

The man says six months

got another form note Speci-

sonnel office to check up on

FAMILY COUNCIL
Oh! What
Will They
Call Him?
BY MRS. ALMA DENNY
THE PROBLEM

THE PROBLEM
Lillian SD like to give
our baby a striking, unique,
original name.
Robert SD like him to
have a name he won't have
to blush over.
THE DETAILS
Lillian S.-We are expect
ant parents and are having
the usual fun over names for
our son or daughter. To IL
lustrate our different points
of view, let's pretend that
the baby is definitely a boy.
I say that since our last
name is one of the most
common in the Manhattan
telephone book we ought to
give Junior a distinctive, un-
forgettable first name. I have
friends who, to show their
children that there's no one
else in the whole world ex-
actly like them, coin brand
new names. For example,
Keltha!
I'm not asking Bob to go
that far. But how about my
maiden name. Fairchild? Or
a family name like Gonzalez
or Pollard?
But no, he's holding out
for plain old Tom, Dick,
Harry.
Robert S.-When I saw
what fellows named Ethel
bert and Percival had to put
up with. I blessed my parents
for giving me such an ordi-
nary name. Why inflict in
evitable razzing on a kid?
He'll have to learn to take
it" for enough other things
red hair, maybe, or big feet.
My idea is to project my
self into my sons life eight
or nine years from now. With
all the names in the world to
pick from what would he
choose? I'll bet it would be
one that some other kids in
his class have.
Those family names Lily
likes are fancy all right and
eye-catching. But, If our son
is going to stand out from
the crowd, let him do it In
other ways.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
There are almost as many
reasons why people receive
the names they do, as there
are parents. But the best
guide will be the question:
will the little one thank us
some day for the tag we
pinned on him?"
Lillian must not make her
son a victim Of her name
dropping pretensionS. Nor
should she make him q per-
petual banner-bearer for her
movie crushes.
If Roberts idea could be
put into effect, namely hav-
ing a little boy pick his own
name, he'd want to be iden-
titled with the hero of the
moment. Unfortunately, this
might prove embarrassing so
years later when it dates"
him.
A plea to both: If it's q
boy, give him an all-boy
name rather than an ambig-
uous one which will leave
correspondents in doubt as
to whether to write Miss or

 Second, streets on which the flag flies before every home or bus mess are one way of presenting visible evidence of national unity
 Although July 4, 1961, will bt the second anniversary of the 30 star flag, it is still entirely proper and correct to display a 48 or 4s- star flag, Commander Rodli stated. 'No American flag is ever obsolete as long as it is in serviceable con- dition."

One Of the particularly kn0tty problems we are faced with in this day of national and international problems is that Of foreign-aid
 Personally, we have wrestled with this problem, weighing its good and bad points, for some time Always. we have come back to the one point-maybe its alright to give to these nations that need our help-we couldn't do less than help, at least. But -.
 In the light of developments and the record chalked up by the pro. gram, we have our misgivings Henry Hazlitt, writing in the June 26 issue of Newsweek, sums 1t up about as well as we have seen any where. Hazlitt cites the declared purposes of foreign-aid over the past 14 years-aid nations Tn re pairing the ravages of war, raise living standards in these countries, to halt the spread of Communism, win Allies or friends for the U. S., raise U. s. prestige, and promote stable democratic government III the countries aided. But, read on.
 Hazlitt looks this record over, and comes up with some conclus- ions that are not flattering to the program He says history proves countries recover rapidly from the ravages Of war; the countries that we aided least, Germany and Ja- pan. made far more rapid recovery than countries we aided the most. He says Communism has spread to an appalling extent since the for eign-aid program was launched. We have lost friends every year. Our prestige has been falling at

Letter to the Editor
Dear Sirs.

Dear DTS
 I wonder if the people of Kodiak are aware of the present plans of the City to widen lower Mill Bay Rd. and in so doing to remove the beautiful cottonwood trees grow ing on the lefthand side of the road2 It would seem that af the same time they are urging us 10 beautify and clean up Kodiak they are themselves planning to remove one Of the few natural beauties re- maining in the downtown area. l would ask each of you to walk slowly up Mill Bay Rd. from the hotel and envision that road with the trees removed and the area flattened put
 The idea of this so-called i'm provement is that the road may be widened and blacktopped to in- crease safety. It is hard to see how this would be accomplished as at present the road narrows at this point and the traffic automatically slows down before entering the main street of Kodiak With a wider, straight downhin road of blacktop the invitation to speed would be ever present and the dan ger to children living and playing in this residential area would be increased a hundredfold.
 We understand that it is planned to considerably widen and improve Benson Ave. and Rezanoff Drive with the idea that this road will carry the main burden of traffic travelling through Kodiak; this would automatically relegate Mill Bay Rd. to the position of side road and the reason for widening it to such an extent ceases to exist
 AS far as we personally are con cerned we have been asked to move our tree, fence and sidewalk" as it encroaches 6 feet onto Mill Bay Rd To do so wouldl quite apart from the fact Of completely taking way any charm or beauty from our house, bring the street within one foot of our front steps, meaning that our children would step right out of the door into the path of on- coming traffic Should any vehicle go out of control on this downhill slope, it would, instead of hitting the fence or the tree, crash di- rectly into the house itself. And yet, according to the letter sent to us by the City, this IS supposed to increase the value of our prop ertyi"
 About the beauty and pleasure, the privacy and protection we re ceive from the tree in front of our house l could go on for pages, but this is obviously personal matter and not of concern to the general public. However, l do feel that the few fine old trees remaining in the downtown area are a source of pride and enjoyment to all the resi- dents of Kodiak and l hope that they, accordingly, will be moved to protest this drastic measure.
 Sincerely Yours,
