Don Carmichael. who's an
independent TV producer.
Saturday night the bril-

bystanders. They didn't see
much action. In all those
after dark hours all they
witnessed were retakes of
Don leaving the house, walk

into the car, and driving off,
plus shots of his blond wife
-Inga Swenson as Mrs. Brig
Anderson-looking out the
window in her pink and white
checked dressing gown and
then opening the door to
pick up an Inflated letter
about her husband.
THE VERY MODEST

she first met her play-act-
ing husband, Don, just that
day. When she was given the
part less than two weeks
ago she made beeline for
a theater showing him in
"Hoodlum Priest" which he
co-produced.
Don, who had more ad-
vance notice of his role. has
been studying the part, par
ticularly the Utah accent,
for two months. He made a
tape recording of the speech
of a young member of the
Utah State legislature and
he insists that he said al"

family quarters of the White
House before its remodeling.
The major improvements
for comfort, he said, were the
building Of sufficient closets,
more bathrooms, and addi-
tional storage areas.
Storage Rooms
Many First Ladies appar-

once there was only one
small closet on the whole

quarters.
He explained that when
the White House was built in

glass inclosed tub showers.
The bathrooms on the upper
floor are smaller than those
on the floor below.
The Restoration
The Truman administra-
ton restoration was under
taken to make the White
House safe. It's floors were
sagging and the interior con-
struction was on the shaky
side. This was the result of
various changes made in the
building in line with the
wishes of the occupants. But

cases long ago ceased to be
adequate.
Mr.. Winslow said the re-
cent rebuilding gave each Of
the White House bedrooms
one or two big closets. Space
for closets was obtained by
replacing some thick inte-
rior walls with thinner steel
construction and by cutting
down the size Of big, old
bathrooms. In addition, stor-
age rooms were built on the
top floor.
There were no bathrooms
in the White House when
President and Mrs. John
Adams became Its first occu-

My dear Mr., President:
have the honor to return herewith, without my ap-
prova1, Bill No. 1923, Third Legislature of the Virgin Is
lands of the United States; Regular Session, 1860, Act to
Amend Bill No. 1876, 1~953-1954, an Ordinance to Author
ize the Establishment Of Fees for Medical Care in the Mu-
nicipality to Provide for the Payment of Such Fees and for
Other Purposes, passed by the Legislature on May % and
presented to me for executive action on May "A, 1860.
This bill purports to amend an ordinance of the for
mer Municipal Council Of 81. Thomas and ST. John, pro
viding for fees for medical care, in order to provide free
medical care for two new c~ategories, namely:
(a) Persons who are over. IS years Of age, and
b) Any person having an income of less than
500 per month.
| am at a loss to understand why the Legislature
sought to amend, by Bill No. 1913, an ordinance Of the
former Municipal Council of ST. Thomas and ST. John and,
at the same time, did not consider amendment to the SINH
lar ordinance of the former Municipal Council of st. Croix.
Furthermore, | am also at a loss to understand why it is
proposed to amend an ordinance Of the former Municipal
Council which has been codifed in Title 10, Chapter II Of
the Virgin Islands Code. These defects alone would be ade-
quate reasons for an executive veto.
However, I am unalterably opposed to this bill. It would
provide free medical care for many wealthy persons in our
community fully capable Of providing for their needs.
There is absolutely no need to attempt to ~pauperize the
people Of the islands by providing free medical care in the
above ~categories when a health insurance plan can and
should do as well if adequately considered and measured
as to its long range effects. / would consider the provisions
of this bill, if signed by me, as an insult to the dignity and
self-respect OF the people OF the islands.
Furthermore, Title 10, Section 272 Of the Virgin Is
lands Code provides that:
No resident Of the Virgin Islands shall be
denied public medical care because Of financial
inability to pay the cost thereof. In such cases, the
necessary adjustment or cancellation Of the nedi-
cal or hospital fees shall be determined by the
Commissioner Of Health in accordance with regu-
lations promulgated by him with the advice Of
the Virgin Islands Board Of Health, and the APP

In some respects the taking
of cuttings during the dormant
season is an easier method of
propagation than in the sum-
mer season. However, not all
plants may be propagated by
hardwood cuttings" Roses,
spirea, privet and many other
kinds can be.
In this area the cuttings are
normally taken in December
and January, and in som e
cases when taken as late as
March have rooted. However
the earlier taking of hardwood
cuttings is recommended since
then there is ample time for
the cuttings to callouS. They
seldom root we'll without the
callous formation on the butt
end.
1t is desirable to take the
cuttings of mature wood of the
previous seasons growth. Mos
gardeners speak of this as the
new growth. The upper
branches and top are considered
to be the best source of cutting
material since there is a ten
dency for cuttings from side
branches and the base to lack
good upright growth. This is
not serious since it is easily

Rose planting time is here
and the newly bought roses
should be put into the rose
bed as soon as possible after
they are received. However,
planting in soil that is too
wet for working will do more
harm than good. Space the
bushes from "a to 80 inches
apart, the farther apart the
better. Dig the holes wide and
deep enough so that the roots
can be spread out and not
cramped into the hole. Do not
put fertilizer into the soil that
used to fill the hole it is best
to wait until spring and then
apply the fertilizer to the soils

Now, I am beginning to think
in earnest about the coming of
Christmas. I think that half
the JOY of this season lies in
the anticipation of its fulfill
ment, in the planning for the
joy Of others. Love and kindness
seem to enter everybody's heart
and a feeling of compassion
and concern for others makes
all of us almost angelic at times
during this wonderful season.
I feel appalled, when I am
presSured to extend this period
over interminable weeks. This
takes the spontaneous spirit
away and pales the anticipa-
ton. I would rather be COM
pletely involved for all intense
period and be sure that l have
a chance to be almost an
gelic, sometime. Christmas time
is such a wonderful time.
Everyone is changed, since
everyone believes in goodness.
Faces are brighter, the eyes
sparkle and a friendly smile has
returned. TiredneSs, defeat and
boredom have given way be-
cause now we think Of others
and forget about ourselves.
We cheer up our homes
with sparkling decorations and
Christmas is the time when we
use whatever we please to make
it our very own Christmas. We
use fresh or dried plant mate

MASON ON EDUCATION
Student Must Learn
Knock of LISTENING

Listening is a skill-one that
many people never master. 1t
seems to be an important skill,
too. Every book on success de-
votes considerable space to it.
That doesn't mean that it is
easy. 1t isn't. In order to listen
easily, one must be interested.
At the crucial moment it's so
very easy to be much more
interested in something else.
It's a rare mother who has
never had to call junior to
dinner more than once because
his interest was concentrated
on television.
Sadly, we must all learn to
take the consequences of our
actions-or our lack of action.
Does this mean that sending
Junior off to bed without din
ner will help his school work?
Unfortunately. no, although
he might respond to your call
more quickly next time.
Of course, if he must take
the consequences of not listen
ing on enough occasions, he
may begin to improve his lis
tening skillS in all situations.
The Rebel Will Learn
What about the other case
the student who won't follow
instructions? In the process
of growing up everyone be-
comes a rebel for a while.
Most of us survive and recover
from it and learn something
valuable while doing so. We
learn that this kind of be-
havior doesn't get us what we
want. If We can't get rid of
the rebellious feelings we learn
to hide them.
The student with a chip on
his shoulder doesn't have an
easy time understanding that
to follow the teachers instcuc-
tionS doesn't necessarily mean
that he agrees with them.
There is nothing wrong with
disagreement; it may be a
valid and valuable character
istic. To be disasreeable is
something else. We all need
to learn to conform in certain
situations, and following the
teachers instructions may be
valuable lesson in personal
relationships.
Hearing and following di-
rectionS is a skill. Gracefully
accepting and following in
structionS is more a state of
mind. Both are important and,
if we expect to do we'll in
this world. we must learn to
control them both.
