COMMENT
on
Men & Things
By J. K. 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."
"The unwearied sun, from day
to day does its Creator's power
display. And publishes in every
land, the work of an Almighty
Hand."

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU BUILD
One day a very rich man came to
a friend of his and told him that he
was ready to go on vacation. 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.
