SICKLE CELL ANEMIA
CHILD SPECIALIST

The signs and symptoms of
sickle cell anemia are numer-
Gus. This illness can mimic
many diseases and conditions.
Swelling of the joints, nose
bleeds, abdominal pain. bloody
urine. headaches, yellowness of
the skin and eyes, slow growth,
pallor. gallstones. swelling of
the hands or feet, fever and en-
largement of the heart have all
been noted in diagnosing sickle
cell anemia.
Not one of these conditions,
however, is definite sign of
sickle cell anemia. They are
all found in many other diseases.
There are times when the child
with sickle cell anemia becomes
worse. His pains and discom-
forts incre ase. Sometimes he can
only be relieved by a blood trans
fushion.

1860 Sales Of SAVINGS
Bonds Listed For
Holmes County

1860 Sales of Savings Bonds
amounted to $247 ,957 which was
sl.83 per cent Of our goal. On
behalf of the Treasury / want to
thank everyone who has bought
bonds or recommended them.
This is an important program
and deserves the support of all
our people.
The public debt, which is
largely the result Of money spent
in defending our freedom in
World War II, and to some ex-
tent lifting us out Of the worst
depression we ever had, is a
"cancer" to our economic exis-
tence. It must be managed prop
erly or our way of life is in great
danger.
We are asked to keep at least
Is per cent of the debt in Saw
ings Bonds. Each county has its
prorata share. Your county com
mlttee needs your he1p.
We do our people a favor
when we get them to save and
invest in Series E and H Bonds,
I know of no better investment
for the average person than
Series E Bonds which pay 9
guaranteed rate Of 3M per cent
compounded semi-annually for
seven years and nine months;
and you do not have to report
earned Interests on income until
the bond is cashed, which can
be II years and nine months
from the date of purchase. For
current income the H Bonds pay
L3A per cent for ten years. In,
terest checks are mailed every
SIX months. ~ az
There is no investment safer
or more liquid than a Savings

ment service in 1861 to cotton

farm operator who is interested
in having his farms acreage pre-
measured must request the serv-
'ce at the Holmes ASC County
Office.
The cost for premeasurement
service is determined by the
size of the allotments and will
vary farm by farm. In order to
rive the rate for premeasurement
cost the rates must be stated
separately for the Hill and Delta
areas.
For The Hill Area:
$500 for the first five acres,
plus 90 cents per acre for each
acre between six and ten, plus
IS cents for each acre between
II and Is, plus SIS cents per acre
for each acre over Is acres.
For The Delta Area:

As cents per acre for each acre
between is and SO, plus 80 cents
for each acre between 81 and

you that there is adequate safe7

Land acquisition procedure against
an agency acquiring more land
than is needed for an approved
low-rent housing project. While
there is a maximum unit density
for project development, which in
the Puerto Rico-Virgin Islands

more than 20 units to an acre,
there is also the provision that
the Housing Authority cannot,

acreage which exceeds by more

tual project needs. / am, there
fore, reasonably sure, and you can
be too, that regardless Of what

Friday, March oath. The spe

Urban Renewal Authority.
MI. President. and Honorable
Members of the Legislature of the
Virgin Islands:
Since by Inauguration as Cover
nor on September 2, 1858, it has
been my privilege to address
messages to you on seven differ
ent occasions including two regu-
lar sessions. Today I am appearing
before you for the last time in my
official capacity as / present to
you my reasons for calling you
into this Special Session.
Acting IN accordance with Sec
ton 181 Title 20 of the Virgin Is
1Nnds Code, the Virgin Islands
Housing a d Urban Renewal
Authority has recommended to
the Governor and the Legislature
two sites for the development of
Federally-aided public housing
projects.
On the island of st. Croix the
Authority has recommended the
Golden Rock Estate Area, on
which the agency proposes to
construct 200 units of loW-rent
public housing, which were re-
Gently aIocated to the VirginIs-
lands by the Public Housind Adj
ministration. On the island of st.
Thomas, the Authority proposes
the use Of a portion of the Lind
bergh Bay Area for the construc-
ton of an equal number of public
housing apartments.
The procedure which our local
Housing Authority, like all other
housing authorities must follow,
requires that the agency obtain
approval from the local governing
body and Chief Executive, Of an
area for housing purposes: The
reason why this is done and why
a more specifically defined site is
never submitted for such approval
is that the project planners and
architects must be allowed some
latitude working in a given area,
because of the necessity of maxi
ing changes, many Of them minor,
because of topographic conditions
and other reasons. It must be
borne in mind that in addition to
dwelling structures, the project
planners must at the same time
consider location Of streets and
