to say that anytime it comes to overriding the Governors
veto on these two bills-1114 and 1853 concerning the
Merit System Law, and also 1881 concerning the Food
Program-you may count on my support.
Mr.. Chairman, turning now to another subject, as you
know, I spend a couple days in Saint Croix last week end.
We were there for the hearing on the WlldHfe Bill. During
my stay there, MI. Chairman, the interisland meet be-
tween the various high schools conducted by the Depart
ment of Education, was taking place. can remember
many years ago, Mr.. Chairman, we were accustomed Of
having these mter-island meets every year for about 10
years. There was a lapse in this program. But today this
inter-island meet. has been reactiyated between the high
school of the two islands.
What surprised me, Mr. Chairman, is the manner in
which the Physical Education Division of the st. Croix
High School functions. As far as / was able to learn there
is need for Improvement IN this activity and think It does
not require an additional appropriation, nor does it call for
more money out of the budget of theDepartment Of Edu-
cation. It appears to me that this matter might well be
handled administratively.
We have in our High School System here in Saint
Thomas, MI. Chairman, | think, twelve classes and these
classes are allowed at least orty five minutes a day for
~athletics-physical education, whether it is horseshoe
pitching, softball, volley ball, baseball or Body Building
exercising with bars and rings and SO forth. This program,
Mr.. Chairman, / understand, does not exist in the High
School in Saint Croix primarily because there are no
Physical Education Teachers. Now, in Saint Thomas, in
our High School, there are two Physical Ed Teachers
male and a female.
However, despite the fact that Saint Croix does not
have the services of a physical education teacher, the pu-
pills demonstrated fair amount Of ability in all the games
basketball, volleyball and SO forth. These kids, I under
stand p~racticed without any organized supervision and
only with the services of volunteered workers.
observed that the field in Frederiksted needs some
attention. There isn't even enough wire to completely
fence the ball park. The backstop isspatehed with differ
ent types Of wire and it offers no protection to anyone who
might be watching the game from behind it, / think Sena-
tor LaWaetz was also behind this backStop, and noticed a
fly ball, during a baseball game, went directly through
this backstop and dropped on the bonnet Of a car, which
was passing at the same time. In the front seat Of this car
was a man and his wife together with a young baby. If
that man wa driving three miles faster that ball would
have entered the car and possibly kill the child, and the
road on which the man was driving is the only one that
can be used.
Mr.. Chairman, | think that the safety and protection
of the people should be of paramount interest to all Of us
and should occ11nv 4 hioh priority on the LIST If things to

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Continued from Saturday,

five. SIX hundred needy people COME dHQ SIT I'll CONS4n-
ment House Steps one Of these mornings and throw out
their needs to him?
Mr.. Chairman, the governor does not know the sitla-
ton in the island. He does not go in the different parts OF
the island to make study. You cannot get IN q hellcopter,
nv dear friends, and see the condition OF a people after a
flood. It might be all right down in Chile, after an earth
quake or something like that-some grave disaster. But,
Mr.. Chairman, during the Flood, it the governor had taken
the trouble to go around in the various places-lke oaVan,
Ross Yard, Ross Estate, and such placeS-he would nave
seen misery that he has never dreamt OF. Not the misery
caused by the Flood, Mr.. Chairman, but misery which has
existed all the time. There are families who cannot really
afford to feed themselves and are living in places that
aren't even good to house a pig. Why? Because they cant
do better. The few cents they are able to make, Mr.. Chalr-
man, aren't enough to support them and their children.
L Secondly, Mr.. Craftsman, if a women is receiving pub
lie assistance woman and two or. three children-and
she tries to help herself-to augment on the plttance they
give her from that department-by selling some fruits Or
something, they finally get around and ask her how mucn
fruits she thinks she sells a week. How much you make
on it. And if she is so foolish to tell them some slzeable
figure (which perhaps she never makes they cut down the
assistance that they were giving her. That's the situation
as it exists today. Mr.. Chairman.
can prove it-that the Governor knows absolutely
nothing about the conditions about the poor people IN tnls
island / can only say that he hasn't sufficient sympathy Tor
the people and that's why he has vetoed that bill, Mr..
Chairman, I v Fundamentally agree with Senator Ottley.
Let us pass the bill over his veto.
Mr.. DE LUGo: Mr.. President.

MR.. DE LUGO: There is an item that I forgot re-

food is there to be used by the people or it simply rots. Or,
it goes overseas to Formosa, to Indo China, to India and
when it goes over there, the Communists pull up their
trucks, load it up and get the credit tor IT.
It seems silly to me. mean this is just the vast sur

farm problem that exists in the United States. It doesn't
cost the Federal Government a penny, because they have
already spent the money in substituting these farmers in.

Early Christmas
Cards Had Little
Relation To Xmas

Cherry Santas, glowing candles,
g1ittering snowscapes, stirring Ma
tivity scenes - these are just a
few of the familiar and well-loved
symbols of Christmas that grace
today's Christmas cards.
When Christmas cards were first
produced commercially in 1875 by
Louis Prang, a Boston Autograph
er, the majority of Christmas de-
signs had little or no relation to
Christmas or the winter season.
! They pictured summer flowers
seascapes, fairies, kittens, children
playing, even fish and reptiles
Roses, especially the moss rose,
received most of the attention on
floral designs.
It was a painting of moss rose
that started Louis Prang in the
greeting card business and which
eventually earned him the title
Father" of the American Christ
mas card.
Miss D. E. Whitney, young art
student who worked in Prang's
shop, showed him a painting of a
budding moss rose. Intrigued by
the simple painting, he decided to
print it on small cards and add the
words Merry Christmas, as the
British had been doing since the
184Os.
Prangs Christmas cards were
reproduced in as many as 20 diff
ferent colors. Many were extreme
ly large, trimmed with silk fringe
and several had silk cords for
hanging. Some were encrusted
with blown glass "frosting".
Printing in several different col
ors was made possible by a very
delicate printing process developed
by Prang-"chromo-lightography
For several years before printing
his first greeting card, Prang re-
produced original paintings with
this process and these were the
"chromos", beloved by all Ameri-
cans of that day.
Their vast range of colors and
shades, Stimulating the woven tex
ture of an artists canvas, receiv-
ed popular and professional &C
claim the world over.
Prang cards became world fam
GUS in just a matter of a few years
and he continued to make Christ
mas cards for 20 years, until Ger
man limitations began to crowd the
American market. A proud crafts
man, Prang retired from the greet
ing card scene and turned his eff
forts to other activities, rather
than have his quality cards COM
pete with the cheap imports.

Keeping Christmas

1t is a good thing to observe
Christmas Day. The mere marking
of times and seasons, when men
agree to stop work and make mer-
ry together, is a wise and whole
some custom. 1t helps one to feel
the supremacy of the common life
over the individual life 1t reminds
a man to set his own little watch,
now and then, by the great clock
of humanity which runs on sun
time.
But there is a better thing than
the observance of Christmas Day,
and that is, keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what
you have done for other people,
and to remember what other
people have done for you; to ig-
more what the world owes you, and
to think what you owe the world;
to put your rights in the back
ground and your duties in the mid
die distance, and your chances to
do a little more than your duty in
the foreground; to see that your
fellow men are just as real as you
are, and to look behind their faces
to their hearts, hungry for joy;
to own that probably the only
good reason for your existence is
not what you are going to get out
of life, to close your book of COM
plants against the management
Of the universe, and look around
you for a place where you can sow
few seeds of happiness - are
you willing to do these things even
for a day? Then you can keep
Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down
and consider the needs and desires
of little children; to remember the
weakness and loneliness Of people
who are growing old; to stop ask

Browns & Redskins
In Droff-Trode
Tue For Davis

Cleveland CAMP - A Show
down was expected following the
Liberty Bowl game between SYRIA
cuse and Miami at Philadelphia
Saturday dec. 16) following the
trading of the draft rights to ALL
American halfback Ernie Davis by
the Washington Redskins to the
Cleveland Browns last week.
Davis, a super-star with SYRIA
cuse, was to become eligible to
sign a professional football con-
tract after the Liberty Bowl game.
His appearance in the game offic-
tally completes his collegiate car
eer.
Davis, however, for weeks has
been the subject of a tug-of-war
between several pro teams because
of his sensational record with Sy-
racuse. He reWrote the record book
at Syracuse, surprising even the
all-time ground-gainer record set
by the great Jim Brown, now with
the Browns.
Redskins Signed Ron Hatcher
The Redskins recently made
Davis their No. 1 draft choice. The
action made Davis the first Negro
ever drafted by the erstwhile lilly
white team owned by George Pres
ton Marshall. However, the Red
skins also recently signed their
first Negro player, fullback Ron
Hatcher of Michigan State.
In addition to the Redskins, the
Buffalo Bills of the rival Amer
lean Football League also drafted
Davis. Other teams also have been
bidding for Davis service.
The announcement that Wash
ington had traded the draft rights
to Davis in exchanged for halfback
Bobby Mitchell and Cleveland draf-
tee Leroy Jackson of western Ill
inois college was made Thursday
(Dec. 14) and confirmed here.
Mitchell, for whom Marshall had
made previous Overtures, is now
in the Army and stationed at Fort
Meade, Md, but has been able to
return to Cleveland on weekends
to play with the Browns.
Trading Rights Confirmed
At first Coach Paul Brown of
the Browns refused to confirm or
deny the trade story, but a Cleve-
land spokesman later confirmed
the transaction. He said the deal
was made by telephone before the
recently college draft meeting in
Chicago.
Marshall had been under pres
sure for some time from us. Sec
rotary of the Interior Stewart
Udall to hire a Negro player or
forfeit the right to use the new
government owned stadium in
Washington.
If the Browns succeed in sign
ing Davis, it would have an almost
unstoppable backfield, with Jim
Brown at fullback.

A TlNTYPE OF
SANTA CLAUS

Santa Claus, is my tintype for
this week. He was born centuries
ago and hasn't aged a day since,
("Believes in kids, think young,
and you'll stay younger than your
years."O He has more people try
! ing to look like him than Jackie
Kennedy.
In every department store, and
on many street corners and on TV
programs there is Santa Claus
just as every beauty parlor has a
Jackie Kennedy hair-do.
I doubt very much if Santa
would have made a good athlete
mainly because he is a good heart
ed man and never says no, to any
one. Besides he likes to eat well
and never turns down a meal while
visiting especially this time of
the year.
He remembers when he was
boy. There was no Santa Claus.
("Try to imagine a world with
out Santa. 1t isn't so CheerfuI."O
He does wish, Jayne Mansfield
Marilyn Monroe, etc, wouldn't
hang up their stockings. CT figure

He is 5 foot 7 inches. Weighs
100 pounds, has blue eyes, rosy
cheeks, a broad face and a round
stomach. He has a white beard
and a white moustaChe. He never
shaves. He is a jolly person and
always has a smile.
If all people were like him,
wouldn't this be a wonderful world
to live in?
He is ticklish, and when he
laughs, he laughs all over.
He prefers winter to summer,
In fact he is never seen around
during summer, spring or autumn.
His favorite sport is tossing
snowballs.
He is married and lives with his
wife in a small wooden hut at the
North Pole. His wife's name is
Merry Christmas. CI never know
what to give her for Christmas,
it's a problem, isn't it?"O
He is regarded a perfect hus-
band since he stays home every
night of the year but one.
But when Santa does go out and
make the rounds-it's a big holi-
day.

ing (that is 1854 days of the year,
he stays home, making toys.
Then gives them away as pres
ents. ("This is one reason why
was never seen laughing all
the way to the bank.")
AS for his getting around he
travels by sled and raindeer des-
pite all the modern methods.
He has a number of customs
In this country he has the chill
dren hang up their stockings at
the fireplace. In Holland he has
the children place their wooden
shoes by the fireplace.
He never forgets anyone regard
less to race, color or creed. He
even manages to get behind the
Iron Curtain.
He sleeps in a large double bed
and usually sings a Christmas
Carol before retiring for the even

He sleeps in long red-flannel

good number of people who don't
believe in Santa Claus. This doesn't
bother him. In fact the way the

the things that other people have

tell you; to trim your lamp so
that it will give more light and
less smoke, and to carry it ahead
of you so that your shadow will
fall behind you; to make a grave

Cards. Chargers
Draft Bob Jackson,
New Mexico Sfdr

San Diego, Calf. CAMP - Bob
Jackson, New Mexico State univ
ersity fullback, has caught the
fancy of two pro teams in rival
leagues, both of whom made him
their draft choices.
The 21-year-old, SO, 22O-pound
blockbuster was described as a red
hot prospect by Sid Gilman, gen.
eral manager and coach of the San
Diego Chargers, after the Chargers
made him their seventh draft
choice. The Chargers are the Wes-
tern Division champions of the
American Football League.
Meanwhile, the st. Louis Cardin-
ais of the National Football
League are also seeking Jackson's
services. The Cardinals made him
their No. 2 draft choice at the
recent draft meeting.
Some coaches, it was reported,
rate Jackson as "as good or better
a pro prospect" as former ALL
American Bob Caters New York
Giants), formerly of the North
Carolina A & T Aggies, and Pervis
Atkins CLOS Angeles Rams). In
fact, Jackson has been labeled 1.-The
best pro prospect in the south
west"
Said Gilman of him:
This boy has the physical and
mental tools to be among the very
best runners in the game. We've
got a real good one"
This past season, Jackson, a fine
blocker as well as runner, gained
SOL yards in 1873 carries for a So
yard average.
