STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Medicine Causes
OIdster's Upset
Vy DR.. PETER J. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Your
recent column about senility
forces me to write. My moth
er. long i'll with arthritis, de-
veloped the same heartbreak-
ing habits you mention.
From being loving, sweet and
considerate, she became so
hateful I could hardly tend
her. Nothing could be done,
said her doctor, because he
made the diagnosis of cere-
bral arteriosclerosis.
BY accident I stumbled on
the fact that the medicine
she was taking to clear her
mind was what was actually
sending her into tantrums.
When I withheld 1t she be-
gan to change for the better.
She was beginning to act
normal again when someone
gave it to her again and she
became almost violent again.
From this time on she never

again received these cap
suleS. 1t was three weeks be-
fore she became normal.
Now she's as sweet and
thoughtful as ever. 1t seems
that taking the medicine
changed her personality I'M
til she acted as If she were
mentally affected.
My mothers case was the
first one that two doctors
had seen be so affected by
this medicine. A third doc
tor said he's begun to sus-
pect it caused such reactions
in a few other patients. I
just thought I'd let you know
for the benefit of other read
ers who are having a similar
problem with aged parents.

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: Recently I
answered my door and was
confronted by a woman who
insisted that I knew her.
When I told her I didn't,
she seemed offended, and
kept me guessing for some
time. 1t was most embar-
RAISING. She turned out to
be an old schoolmate I hadn't
seen In Al years! Really now,
Abby. We weren't that close
in the first place and hadn't
had any contact in all that
time. 1t was good to see her
again, but wasn't she pre-
sumptuous to have expected
me to remember herr She
had the advantage over me
because she had been told
where I was living. How does
one tactfully handle the idi-
otto question, "I'll bet you
don't remember me, do you?"

the latest draft and citizens
suggestions for changes to it.
The first draft proposal was
defeated last fall mainly be-
cause of ignorance of people
about why we should have a
new type Of government" ac-
cording to william Grobman,
an attorney and a director of
the Belair Citizens Association.
Little Opposition Now
He said the latest draft is
"a tremendous improvement"
over the first and there is little
general opposition to it.
Basically the new charter
would enlarge town government
to keep pace with rapid expan-
sion, which has seen the town
grow 10 times in population in
less than two years.
In enlarging government, it
would change the three man
commission to a five man
council and mayor, with a full
time paid administrator. Four
councilmen would be elected
from four town wards on an
at-large basis. The mayor would
be elected at-large from any
ward.
By law, the charter can be
adopted by the commissioners
without a referendum. But it
can be put to referendum if 20
per cent of the towns registered
voters sign a petition.

PRESIDENT CRAMER OF VICoRP ASKS
CONGRESS FOR FUNDS FOR POWER

Robert P. Cramer, President of the Virgin Islands Corpo-
ration, upon his return from Washington today, announced
that during the last two weeks he has appeared before both
the House of Representatives and Senate Deficiency Appro-
priations Committees, requesting a total of $4,O3O,OOO for the
expansion of the power system for the three Virgin Islands
st. Croix, ST. Thomas and ST. John.
The following is the text of Mr.. Cramer's speech as pre-
sented to the Committees

be accurately assumed that
there will. be blackouts IN St.
Thomas by 1865 unless your
immediate approval is receiv-
ed.
"On September |, 1861 the
Board of Directors approved
an increase in power rates to
provide sufficient revenue to
insure a fair return on the
Governments investment. A
net loss of sol, 900 was realized
in fiscal 1861 and a net profit
of $4,000 in fiscal 1862. How
ever, a result of this increase,
along with improved meter
readings and billing procedure
changes, a net profit of $780,
289 was showing on the books
as of February 23rd of this
fiscal year. It should be over
100000 by the end of the fis-
cal year. In spite of this, in
creasd interest and deprecia-
ton charges along with increas
ed wages have continued to
hold the net below the SO ex-
pected by Congress.
Consequently, at the Feb
ruary 23rd meeting of the
Board of Directors approval
was given for an additional
rate increase to bring it to the
necessary level. These new
rates are being promulgated
now.
with all of this in mind, we
are today requesting $4,O3O,OOO
broken down as follows: ST.
10000 for an additional
steam plant in st. Thomas;
$500, 900 for another diesel en-
CINE in st. Croix; $2OO,OOO for
notifications to double the
capacity of the present saline
water plant and $48O,OOO for

For the fiscal year 1868 this
corporation requested an APP
preparation by the Congress of
$3,485,OOO including $3,20O,0O$
to expand its constantly grow
ing and overtaxed power faci-
lities. At the same time the
Board Of Directors adopted a
resolution recommending that
the corporations assets and
operations be transferred to
the Government Of the Virgin
Islands. In part, at least, as a
result Of this apparent conflict
the appropriation was not ap-
proved by the Congress. There
fore a subsequent request for
a supplemental appropriation
OF $3.50, 900 was filed. From
all reports this seemed to be
heading in the right direction,
but died without action as a
result of the sudden adjourn
ment Of Congress.
"NWith this loss of an addi-
tional 365 days and an equally
critical shortage of firm gene
rating capacity we appear be-
fore you today with an even
more urgent plea. / cannot
point out or emphasize too
strongly or too earnestly the
Importance and necessity for
immediate action.
ION June 80, 1859 the total
electric generating capacity of
the Islands totaled 1880 XIV.
On June 80, 1862 it totaled
1852 XIV. Today it totals
1887 XIV. Expert profession
al researchers predict a peak
of 4S,5OO XIV by 1871. The in
crease based on peak lead for
the past year showed a
growth of 1857 in st. Thomas
and 1870 in 81. Croix. This
means that st. Croix is already
in serious trouble and it can
