Lincoln Higgie Writes
New Book on COLONEL
Coindge Of U.S..V.I.
Lincoln Higgie has writ
ten a book on The Colonial
Coinage of the Virgin Is
lands, which is the newest
addition to the Whitman
Coin Reference Series.
Mr.. Higgie traces the nu-
mismatics Of the former
Danish West Indies from
1908 to the present. Coins,
tokens and paper money are
carefully described, illus
trated and priced, and an
interesting historical back
ground of the Islands is Civ
en-
The United States pur-
chased the Danish West In
dies from Denmark in 1917,
but a surprisingly great
American influence in the
Islands is reflected in the
local currency and the bank
notes as far back as 1887.
Many of the coins portray

vi. WILDE Introduced
In Congress Soon
Governor Paiewonsky
said that he expects legis-
lation to be introduced in
the Congress within two
weeks which will affect the
future of the Virgin Islands.
The Governor helped IN the
preparation Of the final
draft of legislation which
could lead to giving Virgin
Islanders an opportunity to
elect their own governor;
it would most likely cause
the transfer of the assets OF
the Virgin Islands Corpora
ton to the Insular Govern
ment, and possibly change
the method Of voting for
Senators.
The Governor is optimis-
tic over the passage Of the
bill because of the strong
backing which it has from
the Kennedy Administers
ton. Although it is late the
bill has an excellent chance
Of passage.
The chief executive also
conferred with Senator Gin
ton B. Anderson, chairman
Of the Senate Committee on
Interior and Insular Affairs
and also with Representa-
tive Wayne B. Aspinall,
Chairman Of the House In
sular Affairs Committee.

MR.. WALTER WILLIAMS,
Salesman for Gene Allen
Buick Co., in Greenwood, has
been given a Royal Purple
M a S t er Salesman Award,
which is the highest award
given by the Buick Motor Di-
vision.
Mr.. Williams started his
selling career with Mr.. Allen
Wood, 16 years ago and during
this extended period has sold
several thousands cars to his
friends and customers. Much
of his success can be attrib-
uted to his firm belief in 10y
atty and fair dealing to his
automotive customers and his
number one motto is, Service
before and after the sale".
New Buick Automobiles are
now priced with the ones in
the low price field and there
is not a truer saying than
when better automobiles are
built, Buick will build them
Mr.. Williams ties this slogan
in with "When better automo-
bile deals are made, Walter
will make them" If you are
thinking of buying a better
used car or q new automobile,
you owe it to yourself to talk
to Walter Williams at Gene
Allen Buick Co., before you
buy.

The medical care for the
