in the middle" of his Navy career* "After
20 years in the Navy, I've decided I'd
like to make it a career," he says,laugh
ing* "Really, it's continuously interest

These was'a man named George who had a car which was sputtering and knocking
George tinkered around with it trying everything tyr knew about cars and finally
His .wife said you bettor have a good mechanic look it oyer George said I guess
You.are right it needs the .services of dn expert and he took.'his car t£> a reliable
Cne 'night his wife said George, our Joey.-is worrying me He never-does .anything you
Toll him and today he got sent home ’from school - George, said Oh Joey is all right
He will get over it and she said I certainly hope so:I have tried .everything I can
Think of - George said Oh before I forget to.tell you I am having, an;expert reorg
Anize the-business and his wife said I thought you "did that two years..ago - George
Said you do not understand those 'things, conditions change we need to keep things on
•A sound basis « • * ’• ••
Another time his wife said George, what are we going to'do.about- Joey this latter
From-,the school says he steals pencils and things from the other kids and is a con
stant source of disturbance:you are going to have to talk with him again and George
^aid. now do not get me all upset I have important business to; do the trouble with

At another time when George had to get the car out in hurry to. dash down and got
joey out of detention whore, he.was held for breaking and entering it was real handy
To have the car in good shape and a comfort to know .the business; was. on a sound basis
The MORAL,of all this is if something, goes wrong with the car., business, garden, or
pocket lighter, a man consults an expert,.; '•
But if something goes wrong with his family, he figures -if I do. not look now
maybe it- will go away. *
