Senator Heating asserts, how
ever, that some phases of the
civil rights problem can be met
only with new legislation. In
this area he plans to work for:
l. Technical and financial
Federal aid to local school dis
tricts that are trying to inte-
CRATE their schools.
2. A bill to prevent discrimi-
natory literacy tests for voters
by making the completion of six
grades in school an adequate
literacy test for persons reg
istering to vote.
3. Broader authority for the
Attorney General to take court
action to protect civil rights
other than voting.

probably will try to pass in the
coming session. Since the Sem
ate has no rule Of germaneness,
civil rights amendments could
be offered for this or some
other bill. But Senator Heating
said such amendments on the
urban affairs bill would be met
with the argument that this bill
did not come from the judiciary
Committee, which handles civil
rights.
Senator Heating said he be-
lieves President Kennedy could
advance the cause of civil
rights by broadening his execu-
tive order on equal job oppor-
tunity to cover all programs

ment makes grants to the

Suburbia is filled with peo-
pie, including US. who have
this problem. A screen. such
as you have in mind, is one
solution. Some people resort
to accordian doors, but these
are expensive.
An attractively decorated
screen can be Just as prac-
tical. 1t is customary to build
these screens ceiling height
so that they resemble a part
of the house. Here are de-
tails for a five-section screen
which is a convenient size.
Each section has two colored
plastic panels. These thin flat
sheets are available at many
building supply stores.
Another idea that you may
consider for panels is to use
one-eighth inch hardboard.
These can be painted and
decorated with design painted
on with oil colors or with
decals. You also can cover
the panels with an attractive
wallpaper.
The long side pieces of the
panels are fastened to the
horizontal pieces by means of
21a-inch no. 8 wood screws. in
counterbored holes. The holes
are alter filled the plastic

drills that drill the screw-lead
hole and counterbore in one
operation are handy to have
in your tool chest.

are used to faSten each sec

placed in the center and the
other two are placed four
inches up from each end.
Note that the hinges must

cedoF Aroma
"I have a cedar closet but
there is no aroma from the
wood. What can I do about
it?" Mrs. w. w. asks.
Answer: You can use an
electric sanding machine to
remove the top surface and
expose fresh wood which viii
have an aroma. Another idea
is to apply oil of cedar to
the wood. This material is
available at some lumber
yards and building supply
stores.
Estimating Paint
II must buy paint for the
outside OF my house. How do
I determine the quantity I
need?" o. L. asks.
Answer: To estimate the
quantity of paint, multiply
the distance around the house
by the height from the foun-
dation to the caves. If the
house has a peaked roof, add
two feet to the height.
Divide this number by 500,
which is the number of
square feet on gallon of
good quality will cover. The
result will be the number of
gallons needed for each coat.

"I need some sort of a
room divider to close off a
view Of my kitchen from my
living room. Anything perma-
nent would obstruct passage
so I would prefer something
designed like a folding screen
that we can push out of the
way when it is not needed.
I will appreciate an idea for
such a screen that we can
build" Mrs. s. L. A. writes.
Answer: One of the prevail
ing ideas among home build
ers is that they can build a
small home, leave out interior
walls and hoodwink the pro-
Spective buyer into thinking
that he is getting a living
room with the proportions of
the Coliseum. In one home
we remember where this idea
was carried a bit to extremes:
If you wanted to go from the
living room into the kitchen,
you stayed where you were.

Editorial
FREDERIKsTED HARBOR COMING VIC ITS OWN
THE INCREASE in the number of tourist ships calling
at Freder1kSted fully justifes any appropriations by the Sen
ate to improve the harbor at that town. Time was when only
an occasional ship would call, and that was because this har
Dor was on a route, north or south. But ships are beginning
to CALL and before the present season is over thousands Of
tourists wall have set foot on St. Croix.
WHAT WE NEED is a dock where these ships can
come up to and discharge passengers and cargo. The differ
ence between being able to walk right off a ship and having
to take a small boat from the ship to shore is SO great that it
staggers the Imagination. Time is lost, effort is lost, inconve-
nence is great, and on the whole the old system is Just dis
ccmagng.
BUT WITH H coming of the dock, and the increase
in number Of ships also come certain duties and responsible
ties OF which we must be aware at the earliest possible date.
Business must be ready, willing, and able to make good use
of the new tourist inroad. People want to see new places and
sights. They want to browse around, select a little this and
that, take pictures, eat different food from that which is
served on the ship, or back home, and, go away, after a day
feeling that they have had an enjoyable time,
BUSINESS MUST therefore see to it that the place is
worth seeing. It must be neat and clean, all the old world
charm must be retained, and the quaintness preserved. There
ought to be enough cabs and sightseeing busses to afford OPP
portunity to see the next town on the basis of a guided tour,
with a competent person pointing out places Of interest.
ABOVE ALL THIS care must be taken to avoid the i'm
preston that this island is trying to fleece the tourist, Of try
ing to make him pay through the nose. Nothing could be
worse than this, not only because it is unfair, but because it
leaves an awful impression, and ultimately hurt us beyond
whatever we might imagine.
FREDERIKSTED HAS its role to play in the economy
Of these Islands, and especially St. Croix. Development Of the
harbor is a must, and by the time the work is completed we
should also have made inroads into the tourist trade so that
ships will be calling more frequently. It is a challenge, and
we are getting readYfnr it
