A N NO UNCEMENT

Please take notice that in accordance with Section 80,
Chapter 9, of The Compulsory Attendance Law" as amended
by the Legislature of the Virgin Islands and approved by the
Governor on June Is, 1861 providing for the compulsory at
tendance of children at school, and for other purposes, with
in the Virgin Islands of the United States, which reads as
follows:
AL children Shall attend school from the beginning of
the school year nearest their sixth birthday, and shall con-
tinue to attend regularly until the expiration of the school
year nearest their sixteenth birthday. Provided, however,
that the following categories of school age children are
excepted:
C) Those who graduate from High School before the age
Is;
b) those who are IA years of age or more and have been
found by test and examinations to be incapable of
profiting from instructions,
Q) those physically or mentally incapacitated."
The Department of Education has previously issued related
announcements and advice regarding assignments and regis
tration of children in the various school districts. However,
check has revealed that many parents have thus far failed to
comply with the above law and the directives of the Depart
ment Of Education.
Therefore, after October 6, 1861 any parent or guardian or
other person in parental relationship, who knowingly causes or
prevents a child or children, of compulsory school age from
attending school, or refuses to have such child, or children, re-
gistered in school, or causes to be absent or tardy, or keeps in
his employ during school hours any child Of compulsory school
age, will be interviewed by the Attendance Counselor of the
Department of Education; and upon proper proof of such vo-
lation shall be referred to the Municipal Court.
All children who were born on or after March {, 1916 must con
tinue to attend school until the end Of the school year in June
1862. All children who were born on or before March 5, 1856
fall within the limits of compulsory attendance age, and there
fore, must be presented for registration and enrolment at the
school within the district in which they reside.

MORE CAREFULvSTUDY NEEDED
ONE WRITER HAS expressed much fear that

mi WRITER HAS expressed much fear that the estab-I
lishment OF an aluminium plant in St. Croix will result in greater
harm than good. He cites, for example, the edverse effect it
would have on wild life, the surrender Tor donation) of a con-
siderable amount of land at the expense of the people, the pos
sible effect upon fish through dumping of waste, and finally,
the loss of the tourist trade.
THERE is MUCH that requires careful consideration
in the whole matter. On one hand is the need to develop in
dustry as a means of bringing in funds for the support Of the
government. However, on the other hand, the adverse effects
must be weighed.
THE GOVERNMENT must balance between what may
be required to set up such a plant, and the ~longrange pros
poets for the economic good of the Island. A number of ques-
tons should be given the most serious consideration and with
out answers to these, with at least fair satisfaction, no final
step should be taken.
IF IT is TRUE that a stable tract of land will have to be
turned over to this project, then the Government should be sa.
tisfied that such a grant is merited. This island is small. Every
acre of land can be important, and a possible producer of
food, or used in an advantageous manner as a homestead, or
farm. Consideration must be given to what this grant of land
will produce, for It fairly certain that once operations begin.
this entire tract of land will cease to produce.
HOW NAN PEOPLE will be provided employment BY
this plant? How extensive an operation will it be? How long
can these Islands count upon it? How long will its operation
be tax-exempt? What guarantees have we that the plant will
be long enough in operation to make its contribution to this
island? What about disposal Of waste and its effect upon wild
life? Will the operations be big enough to justify the conces-
sions given it? And these are but a few of the questions which
could be asked Of those concerned.
ATTEMPT HERE is not to assess, but to call atten-
ton to those matters which deserve the most serious considera-
ton before any definite steps are taken. To be for or against
such a project without having all the facts at hand is danger
Gus indeed, and therefore the need for the most careful and
searching study.

Changes In Social
Security Laws Listed

Changes in the social security
law signed by President Kennedy
last Friday directly affect about
4,770OO0 persons aged 81 or older,
giving them social security
amounts for the first time or in
creasing amounts already payable
to them, Walter r. Campbell,
Manager of the Cumberland So
cial Security office, announced.
The new law makes the follow
ing changes:
l. Men now have an option of
retiring at age 62 with lower
amounts or of waiting until age
IS and collecting higher amounts.
2. Widows amounts are in
creased by about 10 percent.
8. Minimum amounts are raised.
4. The amount OF work under
social security needed to get
amount is lowered.
5. People who receive only
part of their money for year be-
cause they earn over $500 will
have a smaller amount deducted
6. Social security taxes go up
slightly beginning January l, 1867.
One change in the law makes
it possible for people eligible for
social security amounts to earn
up to S17O0 and receive more in
total earnings than under the old
law.
Under both the old and the
new law, a beneficiary can earn
$1,000 a year and receive all of his
monthly social security funds. The
old law. though, required 81 to be
withheld for each 81 earned from
$1,000 to $500, and 81 for each 81
earned over $500
Under the new law, 81 is with
held for each 81 earned from $1,000
to S170C and then 81 for each 81
earned over $17OO. Thus, under the
new law only $3.50 is deducted
when the beneficiary earns $17OO
during the year. Under the old
law $3.50 would have been with
held.
To help finance the changes, the
amendments call for an increase
in social security taxes beginning
January /, 1862. Employees and
employers will each pay an addi-
tional one-eighth of one percent
on earnings up to $4,000 a year
total of three and one-eighth
percent in socia! security taxes.
Self-employed persons will pay
AT percent on net earnings up to
$4,000 a year, instead of the former
As percent rate.

Changes Announced

Beginning with the year 1861,
people receiving social security
benefits will be working under a
IberaliZed retirement test, Glenn
Gardner, manager of the Billings
district office said today. eff your
earnings are no more than $1,000
for the calendar year, you will re-
ceive benefits for all months of the
year in which you are otherwise
eligible" he said.
eff you earn between $1,000 and
$500, you will lose one dollar in
benefits for each two dollars your
earnings exceed $1,000. If your
earnings exceed $500 for the year
you will lose one dollar in bene-
fits for each dollar your earnings
exceed $500. The dollar amounts
are deducted from the TOTAL fam
lily benefits payable" Gardner
added.
AS under the old retirement
test, a beneficiary will receive his
benefit for any month in which he
neither earns more than 500, nor
renders substantial services in

also be paid for any month in
which a worker is age 70, or older.

WHY GROW OLD?
BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN
Register and Tribune Syndicate

REGISTER and Tribune Syndicate
Most women are extremely
interested in keeping their
figures when they become
mothers. Well, it is not nee
essary to lose your figure be-
cause you're having a baby.
If you were careless and
gained many pounds during
pregnancy, or If you gained
a few which you want to lose,
do not procrastinate. Begin
dieting and exercising just as
soon as your physician says
you can do so. You should
consult your doctor about
this because individual cases
differ.
It is bad policy to let any
overweight you acquired ling
er on, since you may become
accustomed to the change in
yourself and fail to do any
thing about it. Usually, a
woman can begin calorie
counting soon after the ar
rival of her baby, unless she
is nursing it. If the latter is
the case, she will not be able
to diet in the usual way until
the child is weaned. However,
the mother need not add
more overweight pounds to
those she already has.
Exercise
Exercise is an important
part of every reconditioning
program. Your abdominal
muscles have had quite a
stretching and they need
exercise to snap them back
into condition. A woman
usually can begin exercising
six weeks after delivery. How
ever, your physician should
give you the GO" sign. Do
not begin until he says you
may.
Abdominal exercises are
the ones you will require. Be-
gin with an easy one like the
following: Lie on the floor on
your back with your arms
resting on the floor and your
legs straight. Bend the left

knee up close to the abdomen.
Straighten the leg toward the
ceiling. Slowly lower leg to
the floor with a stiff knee.
Do the same with your right
leg and continue, alternating
left and right.
If your muscles are strong
enough, you can bend both
legs at the same time and
stretch them toward the cell
ing and lower them to the
floor simultaneously.
II you gained weight. you
will have to count calories as
well as exercise.

We're always hearing whis-

Dining Rooms are dead" But
looking over several plans for

that practically every plan
has quite a bit of space
marked DIR" dining room)
And I have never seen so
many selections as are in the
stores today. If people aren't
having dining rooms. who
buys the Italian Provincial
dining pieces. the French
Provincial buffetS, the Wen
nese classical dining set, and
the one with the Oriental &C
cents, to say nothing of the
sturdy Early American
groups?
Quite Alive
Many of these would never
fit in a small dining area so
it proves that the dining
room is quite alive" And a
good thing too, I think, al
though I like the idea of
combining dining room and
guest room, study or den.
This gives the room a more
than three-ti m s-a-day-
workout and makes a sound
er argument for allotting all
that space.

that her children were be-
coming TV tray addicts, and
then she suddenly realized
