BREEDIN I criticize our military policy with extreme reluctance, but it seems to me to he open to ques tion. at least. Let us see what looks like tizzies; let us begin with the little foray with Pres ident Kennedy m what amounts to a weak gesture to invade Cuba Cuba is less than a hun dred miles from Florida and we have timely endured Castro. Vnu may remember that Cas tro cut off tile water supply <>f the American station in Fast en! Cuba, that made it neces- sar\ to rush a preparation to convert sea water to drinking water for our men Another ti/./le was the loss of the Cruiser Fuehlo in the water near Korea As 1 remember an American heavy Cruiser came within cannon shot and quietlv left You may remember that the most brilliant commander in that war was (lea McArthur. McArthur by one of his bril liant moves was behind tlu Koreans and was removed b\ President Truman Another exploit what h a v t. we done m Vietnam with aOO, out) soldiers, thousands of planes and mam war ships'.’ Now we set out to protect Chiang in Formosa against the Chinese, a few miles away in order to protect Chiang we have maintained near Formosa the largest and most powerful fleet of our navy. That has been there more than twenty years. Are you impressed by the brilliancy of our military pol icy'.’ Or does it seem to you like a fizzle 0 May 1 recommend that you read the campaign of the Con federate army at Chancellors- vilie or the Union army at Pet ersburg. 1 may be entirely wrong but >ur policy seems to be one of weakness and amazing lack of resourcefulness < >ne o! the weakest things, as 1 see it is that so frequently a plane leaving Florida headed tor .Yew York or Europe is di verted to Havana, Cuba. Where are our thousands of planes that we cannot maintain the peace of air travel from Flor ida' 1 Doesn't it look like a pol icy of extreme weakness on our part'.' I ,;rst week 1 referred to the s. igular beauty of many poems and some of the hymns, for example "All we have we offer. All we hope to do. Body, soul and spirit. All we yield to Thee."

His friend was a contractor, and he gave the man some plans for a house which he want ed built while he was on vacation. The rich man’s friend said that he would be happy to build it, and that he would have it completed when the rich man returned from his vacation. The rich man told the contractor not to spare any expense, and to build it the best he could and he would pay him well. The Work liegan Soon after the rich man had gone, the contractor began work on the house. From his experience, he knew that the building was going to run in to quite a large sum of money. He began to think about how much money he was going to make. Then, slowly, an idea entered his mind. Why didn’t he use some inferior materials on the inside structure of the house? His rich friend wouldn’t know the difference, and it would be four or five years be fore the material showed up. So the builder ordered second grade material to be used in the structure of the house. After a few weeks of work, the con tractor saw the building begin to take shape. He thought about how much more money he was going to make since he had decided to use the second- rate material. Then, one day, he be gin to think about how much more money he could make if he used imi tation material in finishng the hous-. on the inside and also on the outside. He could get some material that looked like first-rate stuff but would cost considerably less than the best mater ial that the rich man had ordered. The more he thought about it, the better he liked the idea. After all, the rich man had plenty of money and he was completely ignorant as far as. build ing knowledge went. So he finished the house with inferior material. Rich Man Returned Soon the rich man returned from his vacation. He called his friend the builder and asked about the house. His friend told him that they had just finished the house, and would come by and get him if he wished to look it over. The rich man said he would. Arriving at the new house, the builder began to point out the fine points in the building. He explained to his rich friend that no expense had been spared, that everythng in the building was first-rate material. Tell ing his rich friend what the total cost ran to, h- a explained that the best materials had run the cost up as op posed to other homes similar to this one. The rich man said he under stood, and that he had expected to pay more. Then he surprised the builder. “John,” he said, “we has been friends for a long time. I have looked for some way to express my love for you and your family. Urn getting on in years and I wanted to do something for you before I die. When we get back to the house, I’m giving you not only a check for the house you have buiit, but the keys and deed as well. You built it, now you can live in it.” Well, that’s the way life is. We build them and then have to live in them. That’s the reason we should be careful what we build. You see, there is nothing worse than living in a rot ten house. —Five Star Features REALTY TRANSFERS Newberry No. 1: Leila H. Long to Kathleen W. Fanning, one lot and one build ing.
