Ron de Lugo, the Cover
nor's representative for St.
Croix, issued a memoran-
dun to all heads of Depart
ments, Agencies and instru
mentalities on the Islands
Of st. Croix drawing atten-
ton to Hardness and abuse
of coffee break privileges
The memorandum states:
Since assuming office, |
have observed a surprising
lack of punctuality among
government employees on
ST. Croix. The government
work day officially begins
at 800 am. and closes at
500 p. m. / shall expect all
heads Of departments, agen-
cies and offices on the is
land of st. Croix to take
Immediate steps to see that
all employees under their
jurisdiction are prepared to.
begin work each day
promptly at 800 a. m.
Another matter of serious
concern is the daily coffee
break, which appears to
have gotten completely out
of hand. This office does not
object to a brief coffee
break in the morning and
another in the afternoon, as
this is accepted practice in
both government service &
private industry. However,
this office does object to the
fragrant abuse of this priv
lege. This practice has
caused a great deal Of unfa-
vorable comment to the
government service.
In the future, it is request
ed that all heads OF -depart-
ments, agencies and offices

But does Tuesday try to

Her Own Source
Ask her what she thinks of
the tales they tell and she
deplores only the ones that

reason she doesn't knock the

many originated with her.
Tuesday is not unaware Of
the value Of publicity, good
