They are playing a mite
loosely with the language.
What they actually mean is
that they hired a contractor
to do the job, instead Of buy
ing an already assembled
home.
Stort From Scratch
This is not the case with
Wilbur N. Whipp, a Treasury
Department purchasing clerk
and his wife, Virginia, a
teller for Union Trust Co.
They started from scratch.
Mr.. Whip got his indoc-

Evening star., 1962-06-30

Mrs. Whip lived in the Mid
west. They renovated an old
place, which they sold before
coming to Washington.
They settled here In an
apartment on Hawaii avenue
and Just started riding
around looking" On one
ride out toward Springbrook
Forest in Montgomery Coun-
ty, Mr.. Whipp remembered
he had read about an acre
of ground being advertised.
Lot Is Bought
Before either he or his wife
realized what they we're doing
they had bought the ground
at 1908 Auth lane, a heavily
wooded lot. The price was
81, 400.
Once committed they went
at their home building prof.
ect with a vengance. Appro-
priately enough they selected
Labor Day to launch their
venture.
When you listen to the
purchasing clerk tell of his
trials and tribulations, you
are more than ever convinced
that the pioneer spirit is dead
in most Of us.
