SAYS
BY HAL BOYLE

NEW 1Ohh Rl-Wlon WllDul
PEBBLE came home from work. his
wife Trellis Mae, met him in cold
resentful silence.
whats troubling you, my little
chickadee?" he asked playfully
Somebody put sand in your bird
Seed?"
"Oh, don't bother your big head
about me-" said Trellis Mae, and
flounced out into the kitchen to
finish dinner.
Wilbur sighed and held his peace.
he knew that whatever the matter
was, he would hear about it later.
and sure enough he did-after they
had eaten and he was seated COM
sortably in his favorite chair, try.
ing to read the Sportspage.'
''I'n tell you what's wrong"
Trellis Mae said suddenly. "You
led to me-tkai's what!"
''Lied to youP" replied Wilbur,
wondering (like any husband which
lie she meant. "How? .When?"
"About our finances"
'Well, what about our finances?"
Remember when l wanted that
fur coat last year? 1t was a won
derful bargain for $1,000" said
Trellis Mae. "But you said no, we
couldn't afford it."
''We couldn't then," said Wilbur
stubbornly, "and we can't now."
''How much did you make last
year," demanded his wife.
81 made $500 after paying
taxes" said Wilbur. "And we
saved $500. But if we had bought
that $1,000 fur coat I'd be owing
the $500, instead of having it in the
bank for rainy day."
Trellis Mae shook her head at
that.
"What l want to know is-are we
or are we not as good as the
average American family?" she
said.
"Of course we are," said Wilbur.
"Why?"
"Well, I read in the newspaper
that a government report showed
the average American family earn
ed $4,000 last year, but spent
$4,70O. If the average family can
afford to spend $400 more than
it earns, why can't we afford to
spend $500 more than we earn?
You make more than the average
man. Why should we be the ones
to fall behind?"
"But, honey" objected Wilbur.
I'VE aren't falling behind. Can't
you see we're better off. Instead
of owing. $500, we have $500. !.
"You mean the bank has the
$500-and l don't have my fur
coat" said Trellis Mae. 1.-The
more money you owe the better
off you are. Anybody knows that
II don't see how you :"
began Wilbur, uneasily.
"Well, take France" interrupted
his wife. as France an average
country or is it not?"
Il suppose you could say that
France is :"
''Now take the United States.
Is the United States a wealthy
country"
"Yes, but -"
''Never mind that. Who owes
more-France or the United
States"
"The United States, of course.
"But +"
"Well, is the United States better
off than France or not?" said
Trellis Mae triumphantly. Doesn't
that prove the more you owe the
better off you are? And wouldn't
we be better off, too, if l had
that fur coat?"
A glazed look came into Wilbur's
eyes. Numbly he got up, walked
into the kitchen, turned the cold
water faucet on as hard as he
could, then bent over and put his
aching head under the cooling
torrent.
Now what are you doing, silIy?"
asked TrelliS Mae.
Trying to dry my hair" he
said.
'You don't make sense" Trellis
Mae said.
Neither do you" said Wilbur,
but I doubt if I'll ever be able
to explain why"

A contract to buy 200 tons of

ess, according to public health
officials.
Fluoridation Of drinking water
for Prince Georges and Mont
|gomery Counties in Maryland was
begun last week by the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion. The process is a measure to
combat tooth decay.
There was some doubt among
water officials last summer as to
whether there would be enough
of the necessary chemical for a
city as large as Washington. Mr..
Schmitt said production has been
increased.
Schedule for Equipment.
The official said the program
here could start by the middle
of April if supplies and equipment
are delivered on schedule.
Initially, f1uoride will be intro
duced in the system at the Dale
carlia filter plant, Mr.. Schmitt
said. If too much is lost in filtra-
tion, another feeder point can be
added at the Mcmillan plant, he
said.
Purchase price of the chemical
was 71a cents a pound. Estimat-
ing that the city will use 500 tons
in a year, the cost would be about
$4,000.

Colombia Answers Protest
On Baptist Church Stoninq
By the Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia, Jan. s.
The Colombian Government said
last night it deplored recent ston-
ings of a Baptist Church in
Bogota and is preparing a reply
to a note from the United States
asking about the incidents.
Interior Minister Luis Ignacio
Andrade said propaganda for a
religion alien to the ColombianS
had brought about a reaction
from primitive people"
He added-explaining his COM
ment was purely personal-that it
was to be wondered at that this
propaganda was done under the
flag of a great, friendly nation
(the United States).
Colombia is predominantly

No comment was available from

.TsHIRTY-NINE years ago. at
4 about this time, Charlie
Fox of Baltimore, a husky,
restless fellow just a couple
of years out of grammar
school, enlisted in the Navy.
Today, as Vice Admiral
Charles Wexford Fox, he is
chief of naval material.
That is a job of tremendous
responsibilities, but perhaps a
better perspective on its mag
nitude can be drawn by point
ing out that the simple term
Navy material" means ap-
proximately 1850 900 different
items, that the Nays busi-
ness In equipment, parts and
supplies amounts to almost
$5 billion a year and that
stocks now on hand are worth
around $11 billion.
But the Charlie Fox story
does not concern how he keeps
the Navy supplied with items
which range from socks for
enlisted men to costly, COM
plicated chronological equip
ment for fleet operations.
Others have held the Job be-
fore him and still others viii
hold it later on.
Instead, the story lies in his
unusual career and the still
more unusual man that re-
suited. He is the composite
OF many mena distinctly diff

loyal, he should get all that's
coming to him. If he is In
competent, he should be fired.
But why condemn all be-
cause of a few? The truth
is, we have more conscientious
and able people in the Gov
ernment now than ever
before"
He cited example after
example of men around him
who are working their heads
off," but he overlooked one
prime example-Charlie Fox.
Let's retrace the years a
bit.
Back in 1919, after he had
been in the Navy six years,
Charlie married the former
Aida Moore Smith of Balti-
more. Those next years
weren't easy, with 4O-odd
moves in 80 years and the
family coming on. There were
Virginia, now Mrs. Kenneth
Wydler, and Mary Ellen, now
a secretary at the Pan Amer
lean Union, and Charles, jr.,
now a third-year man at the
Naval Academy.
World War II found him
aboard the carrier Enterprise
in the Battle of Midway and
other Pacific engagements.
Then came shore duty at
various stations. After the
war, he could have retired
on a comfortable pension.
Why not? Hadn't he put in
more than 80 strenuous years?
A business concern offered
him a job with a five-f1gure
salary which, on top of his
pension, meant big dough"
That little home at 1922
Dale drive, Silver Spring,
looked au-the-more cozy and
comfortable.
But the Navy needed him
for chief of material. 1t
needed him again just as it
had needed him in 1917 for
an acting paymaster, tenn
porary,' as an ensign In 1919
and as a lieutenant COM
mander in 1884.
Il couldn't have lived with
myself If I had turned it
down." he says.
