Administration Takes
Steps to Protect Users
of Potuble Voter
For some time now users
Of potable water will find
they are unable to get any
water for washing or flush
ing due to low pressure.
This caused many com
plants to the Public Works
Department. It was found
that the pressure dropped
when large storage tanks
were being filled.
The Governors Represen-
tative in st. Croix, the Hon.
Ron de Lugo addressed a
memorandum to the Com
missioner Of Health, the Vir
gin Islands Housing Auth
ority and Hotel-on-the-C Cay
which states:
Public Works Depart
ment has asked me to bring
to your attention a recur-
ring problem with which
We are faced in the town of
Christiansted regarding po-
table water.
From time to time, with
out any warning, the pres
sure in the potable water
plant will suddenly drop
off, leaving hundreds Of us
ers in the toWnwithout suf-
ficient pressure to benefit
from the system. Many
times this is caused by
large Institutions Of users
filling their storage tanks.
AS you can we'll see, this
causes undue hardship for
a vast number of our citi-
zens and, in most cases,
could be avoided by care

Being the Extra Man Doesn't

woe betide us if we dared
omit the Aunt" I think this
procedure should be followed
today if the relationship is
very close.
Question A friend tele-
phoned to invite me to a
large dance she is giving. I
was asked to bring an escort.
She said a formal invitation
would follow. The dance is to
begin at IL pm. A prominent
woman, whom I do not know,
is giving a large dinner be-
forehand, and my escort and
I are supposed to attend
this, too. My friend said we
would receive an invitation
from her. These festivities
are now five days away. The
dance invitation has arrived,
but nothing has been heard
from the woman giving the
dinner. What do I do now?
Call my friend or the dinner
hostess? Or do nothing and
just 60 to the dance?
Miss B.
Answer-You are in the
middle! If you call your
friend, she may find, to her
embarrassment, that the din
ner hostess has completed her
list, leaving you outy-2f you
call this hostess yourself, 1t
would be awkward if this
were the case. On the other
hand, suppose the dinner
hostess took your friends
verbal report Of your accept
ance as sufficient. If you
don't go-two empty places
at her tablet Best to play
safe. Call your friend and
ask her point blank to
straighten things out. This is
a shining example of what I
have said before: Deliver us
from the pitfalls of the YER
bal invitation.
Question-If the husband
of a dinner guest enters the
room ahead of his wife,
should he be introduced i'm
mediately, or wait until she
arrives?
Mrs. P. r. w.
Answer don't think 1t
would be very courteous to let
the poor man stand against
a wall waiting to become a
part Of the party! BY all
means introduce him immedi-
ately. When his wife arrives,
she would. of course. be ac-
corded the same courtesy. A
word to the husband in this
case: If your wife has simply
gone to powder her nose, you
should wait for her. You
should enter the party to-
gether. Only if she is de-
tanned for a longer period Of
time, such as waiting for a
late baby-sitter, should he
enter alone.

WHY GROW OLD?
Overweight Is Hazardous

lose any excess weight he or she may have.
The same is true Of the person who has high
blood pressure and hardening of the arteries
Overweight is a friend to diabetes. It
increases your chances Of becoming a dia-
bette. and weight reduction improves the
condition Of the person who has this disease.
So, the correct weight is more important
to us than ever before, since we now know
about its close correlation with the cardio-
vascular diseases which are our greatest
threats.
Remember Health
Therefore when you are tempted to take
that second helping which you do not need,
or nibble on in-between-meal goodies, re-
member your health as well as your figure.
This week I am bringing you my Trick
and Treat Diet. which gives you a-loss Of
about five pounds in seven days. If you fol-
low this, you will have treats in taste and
trick the pounds away.
Beginning tomorrow, every day Of the

ing day.

Problems of readers which
keep coming in with every
mail prove that its time for
another Question Box:
Question: have read in
your column that the extra
man should not be expected
to assume anything finan-
cially when he is a guest at
a party. Help in transporting
the guests and helping make
the party go, are the only
things expected of him. Well,
what do you do in a case
like this? Last week I was the
extra man at a party that
was given in q fairly high
priced night club. When
check time came, my host
turned to me and said.
Ralph, old man, would you
mind paying it. I seem to
have left my wallet home"
I had the large sum Of 81
on me, and the bill was
$50. I could only humble
that I was sorry, but I had
no money with me. I felt very
embarrassed before the other
guests.
Mr.. r. C.GB.
Answer-Your host sounds
like a dead-beat to me. If
you had paid the check, I'll
wager that you never would
have been reimbursed. Too
many so-called hosts" pull

excuse. Once in a while it
might conceivably happen,
but usually it is planned with
malice aforethought. Nothing
could be more cheap or un-
demanded. Had he been hon.
est and really left his wallet
home, he would have had the
decency to take you aside.
explain his predicament, and
ask your help. Certainly no
thoughtful host would place
anyone in the awkward posi-
ton in which he put you.
Be careful to avoid this gen.
tleman henceforth!

QuestiOn-How do you feel
about teen-agers, or young
adults, calling older folks by
. their first names? Should
they do this even II the
older person asks them to?

older person makes a mis-
take in asking them to
do so in the first place!

Question: The most embar-
RAISING thing happened to me
the other night! A dinner
was given for my husband
and me to celebrate our 25th
wedding anniversary. There
were II guests including the
hosts. A few of the guests
were unknown to US. When
we were seated at the table,
our hostess rose and, looking
at me, said, Mary, will you
please say grace" I almost
went under the table! We
don't say grace at our house,
and / didn't know what was
expected of me. I stumbled
to my feet, red-faced and
miserable, and mumbled d
something like, God bless
our food" Wasn't my host
eSS wrong in placing me in
such a poSition?-Mrs. H. L.
Answer: She most certainly
wasl Usually those who do
say grace at meals dispense
with it when they are enter
tanning. If they don't, either
the host or his wife should
give it, not a guest. 1t was
an extremely thoughtless
thing to do, and I would GER
tainly ask her not to en-
barraSs you in such a way
again. The saying Of grace
is a wonderful custom to
those who understand. But
even if the host says it, it
can be awkward when enter
tanning because the guests
may not expect it and may
keep on chattering until
brought to an embarrassed
stop when they are asked to
keep quiet.

Question: l recently at
tended a wedding, and I was
thoroughly disguised before
it was over! After the cere-
mony, we arrived at the club
where the reception was be-
ing held, and, by actual a
checking Of a watch, we
waited over three-quarters Of
an hour, standing around in
a long line Of restless people,
also waiting. ALI this be-
cause photographs were being
taken Of the bridal group.
We have had this happen be-
fore, and ! am wondering If
there isn't some way that
those running a wedding can
work things out so the guests
won't be imposed upon?-
Mrs. r. E. c.
Answer: The procedure of
which you speak is quite
common, and why the hosts
at q wedding reception don't
seem to realize it, I will
never know! 1t Is a definite
affront to ones guests and
is absolutely inexcusable. 1t
is brought about by two
things-the natural desire of
the family to have pictures
of the great event and the
overpowering desire of the
photographer to get as many
shots as he can because he
knows it will be a big order.
The whole bridal group cam
not be together until after
the remony. This, of
course, makes if difficult.
