"Oh, sure! Has he ever built a house that

SOL Well, has fe?"
"Of course not But what do you know
about these old houses?'

While the other eleven people went
through the ruins murmuring polite dis
may. Miss Wadsworth attacked in turn the
architect, the nlasons, and the carpenters.
She didn't fire the architect. He quit.
As matter of fact he was very kind to her,
and went out of his way to explain things.
Upstairs, for instance. they were going to
move the wall back six inches in the hall
way Why" demanded Miss Wadsworth,
more space in the hallway.
''Six inches! And how much will it cost?"
AS to that, he wasn't sure. Maybe five
hundred, maybe thousand, depending on
what they ran into.
''You think six inches are worth five hum
dred or a thousand dollars?" demanded
Miss Wadsworth. Wouldn't it be more
economical to have thin people for guests?"
liz WAS polite to her. but he glowered at
Julian; he courteously explained that he
wasn't accustomed to working for penny
pinchers Why, as matter of fact, he'd
done the remodeling of the kitchen for Mrs
Yardley - Mrs Albright Yardley - and
it had cost four thousand, two hundred dol
lars just for the kitchen alone That was
the kind of people he worked for.
WAS it worth it?'
Ma amp"
-Four thousand two hundred dollars for
a kitchen. Was it worth it,"
Shortly thereafter he quit, stamping out
in rage, which might have been more effec-
tive if the old wooden steps at the side door
hadn't tripped him and thrown him so he
had to scramble to get his balance back.
Ten minutes later the plumbers quit.
This was after the head plumber had
patiently explained that air conditioning in
home of this size was impractical because
it would cost between ten and twelve thou
sand dollars, and he recommended hot-air

wouldn't want to commit himself precisely
- for two thousand or so. And after Miss
Wadsworth had said. You're robber."
Julian was ready to weep when she
tackled the stony-faced unfriendly car
penters. He saw clearly what lay ahead -
the imperious, foolish Lucy Wadsworth
would in no time leave him high and dry,
with the westerly wall ripped out with a
septic tank lying on its side in gravel bed,
with bathtub in its crate in the machine
shed. And then she d go back to dine at the
Pheasant Club, or the Mediterranean Roof,
and probably - he thought bitterly - talk
about the good advice she'd given Julian
Robert Disney.
Tie SAW the carpenters come out OF the
shed when she called and give her cold,
angry looks The other eleven unwelcome
guests were pattering upstairs, scuffing
chunks of fallen plaster so that plaster dust
seeped down into the room through open
ings in the priced oak ceiling. The stony
faced carpenters stood, listened. looked mad,
then not-so-mad, then pleasant, then
pleased. They gabbled back at Miss Wads-
worth, with many gestures. Miss Wads-
worth was icy of face. listening - probably,
Julian thought, to their designations. Well,
that would give her a lesson. You couldn't
handle these country people like workmen
in city. And anyway, he reminded him
self, what right did she have to take over?
Afterwards the carpenters went back into
the shed and Miss Wadsworth tackled the
masons. They were just outside the door,
building the chimney, so Julian could hear
every word that went back and forth.
When will that chimney be finished?''
Miss Wadsworth demanded
The senior mason said When it gets to
the top, Miss; that's all l can say
Il take it you don't care whether we
freeze to death this winter or not Miss
Wadsworth said.
The small blond mason stared at her.
Staying the winter?"
''Of course! Where else could we stay?
Haven't you heard about the housing short

Sure But ~ we'll. l thought - day after

Last week Kickoff meetings
throughout the city signaled the
beginning for intensified campaign
activity.
Last Wednesday Local 108 FEE
held Kickoff meeting at which
a day-by-day plan was mapped
out. A steering committee was
set up to guide the campaign
there. Members of the committee
are: B. Bartnick; c. Laster; Joe

campaign are 101, al, 1872, 1879.

up steam in the drive even, be-

While Jim Pinta has been car

swung behind his candidacy with
the aim of reaching their goal

Q Two good tips

Two practical sub drive sug-
gestions were made at the Stars
open House" party, May %.
George Snoddy, ALL trade union
list, said he thought those who
were having bad luck in getting
subs should learn a good sales
talk by making the rounds with
some of the aces in the drive.
George took his own tip; he
made date to go out looking for
subs with the South Sides Mel
vim Brown.
Jimmy Pinta, MINIS Internation-
al Representative, pointed out that
Stars could be sold at additional

Brown met Parks challenge
calmly. Competition is healthy,
and incidentally" he said, "it's
good for the sub drive"
THE WILSON LOCALS whirl-
wind campaign comedies with its
struggle for a wage increase and
with the organizations battle
against repressive labor legisla-
ton.
"The fight for the Star, for
wages, against anti-labor laws, all
mean a fight to realize full de-
mocracy," Parks says. His appeal
to fellow union members for Star
subs was based on this.
Forged in departmental meet
ings, the Wilson day-by- day Star
program includes drive progress
charts tailed each day in the
union office. Chief stewards
names are listed with their vari-
Gus divisions-beef, pork, me-
chanical, manufacturing and mis-
cellaneous-and sub credits are
given to each particular division.
Charts will be kept until the end
