year-old Boy Scout, has navy"
Of his own. And he made it himself
with only the simplest Of tools-a
penknife, a razor blade and q small
carving set.
Fred has been keenly interested
In boats since as far back as he can
remember. When he was just a
little fellow he began drawing them
Then, when he was about S, he de-
cided it was more fun to carve them
from wood.
But boats aren't Fred's only hob
by. He also likes to build model
airplanes, to collect postage stamps,
censored envelopes and insignia of
the fighting forces, and to sing and
play the violin.
Fred started his stamp collection
about five years ago. It became
really big when his fathers uncle, q
sugar broker in London, sent him an
envelope containing several hundred
stamps from all over the world
He'll never forget the thrill of OPEN
ing that envelope!
Nor will he forget how exciting It
was to receive five stamps from some
Pacific Islands he had never heard
ol-the Ellices. The stamps were
sent by an uncle who Is in the Army
Air Forces, and Fred prizes them
above everything else in his collec-
ton.
The same uncle also sent Fred q
miniature outrigger canoe carved by
South Sea islanders. It is an exact
copy of the boat used in the islands
and Fred is just about as proud of Il
as he is OF the stamps.
Fred likes to arrange his ships as
