Even though I'm living in
the heart Of one of the largest
cities, these big fat mail
order catalogs have always
had a fascination for me.
And thumbing through the
pages of one the other day
I was impressed once again
with the wonder Of what
small things and color can
do for q house.
One page advised the
reader to dramatic your
kitchen with colorful kitchen
ensembles" Good advice!
And then they pictured all
the gadgets that could add
color inexpensively to a
kitchen. Drainboard trays,
sink mats. floor mats, ap-
pliance mats, dust pans,
waste baskets, bread boxes,
cannisters, salt and pepper
shakers, vegetable bins, cake
"caddies" etc. These were
shown in cherry red, frosty
pink, sunshine yellow and
Ming (turquoise) blue, with
some of the cannisters in
cleaning copper. Try some of
these color accents in your
kitchen.
The bath department too
was alive with color. but I
think this match-mate busi-
ness of lid cover, tank cover
and floor mat is Just a little
too much. Some variety is a
needed and welcome touch.
A room divider planter
with clip-on flower pots
seemed like a good idea, and
there we're pole lamps galore.
Of course, all Of these things
may be found in a store, but
som e times it's fun to
browse" sitting down!
Mrs. B. L. d. asks:
I'VE recently bought an
old house. 1t has two pairs of
double windows in the front,
one in the living room and
one in the dining room. Can
you give me some ideas on
how to curtain them?"
Dear Mrs. B. L. D.:
Treat the double windows
as one window and use dra-
cries on either side with a top
ruffle or valance Or use
three sheer curtains to a
double window, one pair
looped on either side and one
"un-looped" to cover the
window casing in the center.
Mrs. X. B. asks:
Recently I purchased a
sunburst clock and a pair of
ssconces. I do not know where
to place the sconces in rela-
ton to the clock. We CEN
tered the clock over the
mantle"
Dear Mrs. X. B.:
I would put the sconces
over the mantel on either
side Of the clock and lower

examination of the records is
made to ascertain that all appi-
cable laws and regulations have
been complied with. These ADULTS
are objective in nature and the
reports are based on facts obtain
cd from the records made avail
able to the auditors. 1t is the duty
and responsibility Of the auditor
in preparing the audit report to
state the deficiencies found during
the course of the audit and to e
commend that action be taken to
correct these deficiencies. Excep-
tions are taken to expenditures
that are not made in accordance
with applicable laws and regu-
lations.
The auditor is concerned only
with obtaining pertinent factual
information from records he
examines. In the discharge Of his
duties, the auditor must be hon
est, contentious, impartial, and
completely impervious to what
ever repercussions may result
from his findings.
Since the audits performed by
the Office of the Government
Comptroller are audits of the
branches and activities of the
Government Of the Virgin Islands,
and not Of individuals, copies OF
the audit reports are submitted to
the Governor, the department or
agency audited, the Legislature,
the Commissioner of Finance, the
Budget Director, the Department
Of the Interior, and the General
Accounting Office.
There is no set policy that we
know of as to making the reports
available for examination once
they have been submitted to the
above offices. It is our conviction
that, since the Comptroller's audit
reports concern matters Of public
interest, they should be made pub
lie, as is the case in Puerto Rico.
In the final analysis, these reports

known flight into outer space.
The world was watching this
flight - which was made IN the
best American tradition, open
and above board in full view of
hundreds of people and millions
on television.
Three hundred newsmen from
countries throughout the world
gathered at Cape Canaveral and
saw this historic feat with their
own eyes.
The significance Of the public
exhibition of Americas progress
in space exploration has n o
been lost on the watching world
and the Soviets know it.
The story that should never
have happened was also brought
into public view this week =
work stoppages and strikes at
Cape Canaveral hat delayed
the first manned rocket shot.
In the face of SO many shots
at the Cape that did not go as
planned, the ones which were
admitted failures due TO NAL
functloning of one kind or an
other, the work stoppages are
hard to take by the average
American citizen.
We have long felt that no per-
sen working for the government
or on a vital project for the
nations defense should be al
lowed to engage in a strike
that would cause a showdown
or stoppage of work. That opin-
ion has been strengthened by
what took place at the Cape.
We believe the right to stop
work on defense projects should
be waived by any patriotic
American worker. The right to
resign permanently from a job,
of course. gives the laborer his
freedom without infringing upon
the rights of other citizens or
his country.
Americans are not used to
coming in second in anything
= and we don't want to get
used to it.
But one of the marks of a
great nation or a great people
is confidence based upon securi-
ty that comes when you know
your way is superior and will
eventually prevail = even if
temporarily you may rate a
second chair instead of the first
A big man does not have to
strut and make loud speeches
to impress the world with his
accomplishments. He does not
flaunt his wealth and look
down his nose on people who
do not have as much. More
often he is the nouveau richie
guy in the neighborhood with a
deep-seated inferiority complex
who brags to cover up what he
is, or to make up for many years
spent on the wrong side of the
railroad tracks.
The same thing applies to
nations.

option and bought out stock
holders of The State Times for
$500 per share for stock they

Since l was foolish enough to

it (although l was told at the
