THE KIND FRIENDLY CARPENTER
By HELEN or cRoIx
PARTI
PART

Once upon a time there were two people who lived in a
country to the north. They were husband and wife and
had been for twenty-five years. Now, the husband want
ed to move to a different country, as he was getting old
and his work was finished The wife, being devoted to
her husband, agreed and thereupon started gathering
together all their most priceless possessions for the trip
They jorneyed far and wide and finally settled on
Il island in a nice warm climate. Following the advice
ia friendly innkeeper, they started out to find a rich
nd powerful carpenter, who, they were told, could
uild for them a cottage that would surpass even their
Sondest wishes. Happily, they found this kind man and,
settling down under the shade Of a friendly tree, they
talked for hours about what wonders he was going to
create for them.
They were simple people, with simple tastes, SO the
kind, friendly carpenter said that they would probably
be in their new home within. the next full moon. Upon
hearing that, the husband embraced his wife and grasp
ed the hand of the kind, friendly carpenter tightly IN
gratitude. Walking back to the inn, they chartered like
two happy, c~arefree children. They were SO deep in
discussion that they did not notice that the kind, friendly
carpenter was bending over from the waist and trying
ito hide his laughter.

posal that IS per cent of such
funds be earmarked for work in
private shipyards and the other
IS per cent in regular Navy
yards.
Supporters Of the proposal to
assign the bulk of the work to
Navy yards estimated it would
save millions of dollars annual
ly. Advocates of a larger share
for private yards said 1t would
increase employment and help
private industry.
Secretary Mcnamara objected
particularly to a 1887 million
cut in personnel funds and to
q 81 billion reduction in mill
tary equipment buying, mainly
airplanes. It was uncertain
whether any move would be
made by individual House
members to restore those funds
to the bill today.
