Christmas Seal Campaign
To Get Underway

More than 100000 letters
bearing Christmas Seals will be
delivered to Delaware homes In
tomorrow's mail as the 56th
annual Christmas Seal Cam
paign begins in Delaware.
Contributions made during
the campaign will be used by the
Delaware tuberculosis and
Health Society to finance a broad
program In the areas of pre-
vention and control of tuber-
culosis and other respiratory
diseases.
AS in past year, the Christ
mas Seal movement will have a
deep intrinsic significance for
state resident, since the holi-
day stamp was first introduced
to this country by Delawarean.

A lime short course, a pre-
sentation on the new Chesapeake c
Bay Bridge-Tunel, and a crop
awards banquet are highlights
of the 55th Delaware State Crop
Show in Dover November 20 In
the Capitol Grange Hall.
John Bivens, Jr., Delaware
State Plamer, will discuss the
impact of the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge-Tlnnel system on Del
aware agriculture. His discus
sion will be illustrated by a
20-minute color movie showing
how It was constructed. The
bridge-runnel scheduled to open
in the spring of 1864 is con-
sidered one of the five engt-
neering wonders of the modern
world. Scenes in the film show
the construction of the four
man-made islands, TWO rn-
nels, TWO bridges and IL miles
of trestled roadway that make
up the II l/2-mile span across
the mouth of the Chesapeake
Bay.

Quoted by the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service at the Univer-
sity of Delaware is an added
feature of the crop show. DR..
William Mitchell, extension ag-
ronomist at the University, says
it is being planned to bring
crop producers up to date on
the latest developments In the
use of lime and other soil nu-
trients. He says some Delaware
soil needs lime so badly that
farmers are questioning the ac-
curacy of the soil tests re-
turned to them from the Uni

To Discuss
|Sigmund Freud

The accomplishments and
ideas of few men have been so
widely discussed in recent
years as those of Sigmund
Freud.
DR.. Lawrence Cuick, asso-
ciate professor ofpsychology at
the University ofDelaware, will
discuss the controversial man
and his work in Squire Hall

as screening devices for de-
lection and the use of modern
drugs make possible a much
greater control of TB than was
possible a half century ago.
With the added knowledge,
however, medical specialists in
tuberculosis began to uncover
cases of allied pulmonary dis
eases--respiratory diseases
other than tuberculosis which in
some cases had been diagnosed
as TB in earlier years. Since
detection and treatment of these
fell In the same area of medi-
cine as did the kindred tuber-
culosis, many treatment CEN
ters such as Delaware's Emily
P. Bissell Hospital established
broad respiratory disease pro-
grams.
Recognizing the importance
of these diseases, considered
the greatest single cause oftime
lost from work, and the in
crease In incidence as the aver
age lifespan of Delawareans is
heightened, the Delaware Tu-
berculosis and Health Society
decided to expand its program
into the broader field of res
piratory disease. Today di-
seases such as emphysema
and sarcoidosis are subjects of
concern as we'll as tuberculosis,
which remains the leading killer
among infectious diseases.
The Society's largest single
activity, made possible through
Christmas Seal funds, lies in
case detection. The TB Society
maintains a screening X-ray
clinic at 1908 Delaware Avenue
where Delawareans can receive
free chest X-rays. One of the
largest groups availing them
selves of this are the food
handlers.
The Society has cooperative
arrangement with the State
Board of Health resulting In the
operation ofmobile X-ray units,
large white buses which tour the
state and offer accessible
screening chest X-rays to con-
centrations of shoppers, factory
workers and migrant laborers
in all parts of the state. Another
cooperative arrangement has re-
suited In the issuance of tuber-
culin skin tests to entering first
graders in public and parochial
schools and to youngsters ir
well child clinics. Other X-ray
units have been installed in a
local prison where inmates re-
ceive screening X-rays upor
admittance.
The Society functions in o.
ther ways in the area of TE
and respiratory disease pre-
vention and control. Research
projects, which may aid in the
eventual eradication of the di-
seases, are financed. Expert
medical lecturers are brought
TO Delaware to discuss new
techniques with local doctors
and nurses. Student nurses are
offered training courses in the
care of tuberculous patients
College scholarships are
provided to encourage capable
young women TO enter the flelC
of nursing. Patients suffering
from TB and other respiratory
diseases are aided, both in their
recovery and in their return tC
some form of gainful employ
ment, by the TB Society.
In these areas, more thar
100000 is spent each year by
the Delaware tuberculosis anc
Health Society. This money is
raised through the annua

Employment Levels high. When the Virgin Islands Com
pany began the rehabilitation of the sugar industry in
1884 a major objective was to provide jobs for the many
unemployed. This situation has changed. The growth Of
tourism and light industry has provided new jobs as has
the considerable expansion in Insular governmental acti-
vities. Thus, at the present time, substantially all of the
LABOR force in ST. Croix (,750 persons in 1960) is employed.
In addition it is reported that approximately $500 aliens
are now in the Island because Of labor shortages and this
number is expected to increase. 1t is true that a dscontin-
uation Of sugar cane production probably would disp1ace
.scna farmers and other workers who could net readily
find other employment. 1t is likewise true that a tighten
ing of the tariff concessions now enjoyed by many Virgin
Islands firms would reduce employment in manufacturing.
Tariff concessions important to the prcn9esd citrus pro-
cessing Operations. The u S. Tariff Act of 1880 as
amended provides under Section Sol that companies in the
Virgin Islands can import materials from abroad, fabricate
these materials into products, and enter these products
into the United States duty free, providing the following
two conditions are met
() The Bureau Of Customs Of the Treasury Department
determines that the processing done in the Virgin
Islands qualities the products manufactured as Virgin
Islands products; and
() The value of the foreign materials incorporated in
81 abe products manufactured is less than 500 Of the
value of the merchandise produced

lat it will drop its proposal to- produce oranges and process

ection 3O1, The Treasury Department has not yet ruled on
lis question and thus there is presently some uncertainty as
whether or not the operation proposed BY National Bulk
arriers would qualify.
The reason Nr this uncertainty is that National Bulk Car
er proposes to produce in Panama approximately 80 percent
the juice which it twill process in the Virgin Islands. Speci-
it will produce oranges in Panama and produce a super
juice from them in Panama. This super-concen-
ate will be shipped to the Virgin Islands where it will be
with juice from oranges produced in the Virgin Islands.
his juice will then be canned in the Virgin Islands and
tipped to markets in the US. and possibly elsewhere. For

Y other than Panama, and has suggested that it might be

REPORT ON VICORP BY THE U. S.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The Board Of Directors Of the Virgin Islands Corporation
has under consideration a proposal that would shift 100 acres
of land now in sugar cane production to the growing of
oranges by a private firm. The juice would be extracted from
these oranges, mixed with a substantially larger volume of
juice to be imported into the Virgin Islands from Panama, and
the resulting product would be sold largely, if not entirely,
in the United States. This shift would sharply reduce the
acreage in sugar cane, and in all probability lead to a termi-
nation of the sugar industry in the Virgin islands.
The purpose of this statement is to evaluate this proposal
and to recommend a course Of action best warranted by the
facts.
CONSIDERATIONS
il Views Of 1nsular Government The Insular Government
has two principal concerns regarding the present opera
tons of the Virgin Islands Corporation.
(a) The Irsusar Government would like to own the land
now owned BY Vicorp. "a major if not paramount
factor is the desire by the Insular Government, and
much of the native population, that the land now
owned by the Corporation not fall into the hands OF
private investors or spectators. They are fearful
that white continentals will exert an increasing inhu-
ence on the economy, and that land which they feel
should be used for public purposes such as schools,
and home sites for natives, will in fact be put to less
important uses by continentals who outbid local buy
ers. In addition the Government believes that if it
owned. the Corporations lands it could more readily
accomplish some of its own detectives, such as inn
provements in the housing in the Corporations vii
lagos, and application Of its own wage regulations to
those employed in operations OF the Corporation
o. The In-ulsr Government would like TO rid itself Of
Of the deficits Of the Corporation which il must finance
Deficits Of the Corporation are now covered by the
budget Of the Insular Government. Over the period
1958-1962 annual losses Of the Corporation averaged
$375yOOO. IN addition since 1860 the Insular Govern
nent has had its own program Of subsidies to encour-
age the production Of sugar cane and these have
added to total costs.
The principal objectives of the Insllar Government
would be met if present losses could be reduced sub
