W. T. DOYLE'S SON WORKS ON SEAPLANE BASE "No carpenter ever lived that was worth that much money," declares James G. Doyle, in a letter to his father, W. T.
Doyle, in which he tells of working on the construction of a seaplane navy base project at Norfolk, where he receives an average of $14 a day. His pay is larger than that paid the average worker because he can read plans and work from blueprints. "I have been here two weeks," he says, "and if I can stick it out for the year it will take to complete the project I will be about ready to quit. The project will cost 17 million dollars, which is a lot of money," he continues, "but it's just a trifle to Roosevelt and his gang. They don't care how much it The writer's home is in New Jersey, just south of New York City, but he does not expect to move to Norfolk.
"This is quite a place," Mr. Doyle says. "They have a navy yard here and a shipbuilding company and a big flying field. The town is sure booming. Lots of houses are being built and many other improvements are under way.
In spite of what is going on in government work there are a lot of idle men in these parts, and after this splash is over there will be plenty of hard times for a long time, paying up this mess." ST. PATRICK'S PUPILS TO PRESENT PLAY Pupils of St. Patrick's school will present "Santa's Little King," a Christmas play, tomorrow evening beginning at 8:00 o'clock in the parish hall.

Maryville merchants are preparing for large Christmas shopping days the last of this week and the first of next, when they expect to see this year's total Christmas sales rise above a year ago, according to reports from different local merchants. Hundreds of persons were in Maryville Saturday, when local stores had their best day for this holiday buying season. While many persons have been on hand on previous Saturdays last week's visitors included more buyers than were in town any one day before, during the Christmas season. Despite cold snowy weather the past few days, many persons plowed through snowdrifts and walked across icy sidewalks to reach the town's business district, where many of them purchased higher priced gifts, the kind not given so freely a few years ago. Some merchants are of the opinion that the holiday buying season began earlier this year than usual, with the result that sales have been distributed over a longer period without the extreme rush days common in past.
Others remarked that more novelties and luxury items have been purchased to date than a year ago, which indicates that persons have more money to spend for the items on their gift list this year than previously. Mrs. A. D. Strong spent the week end in Jefferson City with her daughter, Miss Marjorie Nicholas.
