European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 5, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes Friday september 5, 1936 columns \ today s crossword it s just a tiny one room addition Brand Rooney we re having an addition put on our House. It in much. It s a Small bedroom being tacked onto Ilie id behind the Kitchen i s Only a by la but we might As Well be trying to build the Cathedral Al Charus. Work was started in june and the room would refinished by now except the Carpenier. Who is also the contractor an very capable could t sum until the foundation had been dug. And he Man with he Bulldozer said we d had so much rain hat the ground was too Toft where he had to bring the Dover in Over the Lawn so he had to Wail. The foundation took a lot of Concrete but would Only have been half a Load from one of those big Concrete mixer trucks. They would t deliver half a Load so it had 10 be mixed by hand which lakes Tim and makes a mess. Once the Concrete was poured they had to wait for that to dry so the Carpenter started another Job. Part of the project involved moving the Washer and dryer in an adjacent room. Water pipes and electrical lines had to tie moved. The House is in a Small town where the electrician does t speak to the plumber and the plumber won t speak to either the electrician or the Man with the Bulldozer. The con tractor is or. Nice Guy who d rather leave than get into an argument with the plumber the electrician or the Man Wanh the Bulldozer so he s been gone a lot. Everyone had to go Back somewhere quite often for something they d forgotten. The electrician said he could t put he outlets i until the Carpenier had the Wallboard up. But the Carpenter Laid he could t put the Wallboard up until the windows were in in Case it rained and he could t put he windows in until the plumber took he old washing machine and dryer oui through the opening because he was afraid they would t fit through the door or the window when everything Wasin place. Someone asked How we d Ever get the washing machine and dryer out if we wanted to replace them. I ignored the question the windows had t been delivered yet anyway. The Carpenier said Uherc d been some in the order. He d dealt with de instead of Bill Over at the building Supply place and de was t As reliable As Bill. He said he hoped they d be in next tuesday. Next tuesday comes up a lot. There was some indecision about where the win Dows should go. Before you can decide where win Dows go you have to know where you want the bed. You Don t know where you want the electrical outlets either until you know where the bed is going but in was hard to decide where the bed should go until the windows were in. We lost another Day because in was the Sot birthday of the ailing Mother of the wife of the plumber who does t speak to the electrician and the plumber had to drive his wife to Massachusetts to see her Mother. The electrician said that if he d known the plumber was t going to be Here that Day he could have finished up but he did t know it until he d already promised someone else he d come that Day. The contractor got a Young Man to Rake and seethe area that had been torn up by the Dozer but we got a thunderstorm thai night and everything was washed away so he s going to have to do it again. The plumber was mad at the Man who did the landscaping because he said the landscape Man drove his truck Over the pipe leading to the septic tank. If it a broken the plumber Laid in was t his fault. Iwas As Nice to the plumber As possible. I agreed that if the pipe to the septic tank was broken in was t his fault because if in is broken Hope i can get him to fix it. Some friends came Over for dinner the other night and wanted to know Why we arc not putting the new addition on the other Side of the House. Maybe i la have them move it when it s finished. C Tatum Midi St slut now it s their turn at the trough by Art Buch Wald a report of the joint economic committee of con Gress indicates that he we ally in his country is being concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people. The conclusion is that the Rich Are getting Richer an the poor arc getting poorer. A recent Survey i took shows most of the wealth in lie United states is now in the hands of real estate tycoons and for the last few years poverty has spread to Texas and Oklahoma Oil men. It is this disparity in earnings Between real estate and Oil that is leading to class warfare in the country. An Oil Wildcat Ter who was living in the Dallas Bui terminal told me it s nol right that the real estate people should have it All and the rest of us be on our keys Tara. If you Don t spread the wealth around the Oil people Al the Bottom of the Pite arc going to Rise up and Lake her share by Force. But dint you Oil Fellows have All the Money Short time Ajo we had Tome but that was Only because Oil was Selling for $32 a barrel. At those prices we could buy whatever was for Sale. But when ii plunged to is 1 barrel they took away our so from being Rich you became poor what Els Don t let anyone Tell you inc Rich Al ways get Richer in Oil the Rich gel and to think that Al one time you had it i Don l know if i had it All bul i had whatever was out there. We were such Good customers at Neiman Marcus that when my wife told them she could t afford to shop Here any More they retired her Adolf Jersey so thai no one could Ever Wear in said but one thing Nice about being a poor Oil Man is that overnight you could become Nch nol with those open bums shutting the time one of them Lowers the Price another american Oil producer goes on food i decided to seek out a real estate Mogul who i getting Richer. Found him looking out of his new office building that took up 20 acres of Central it True that people of your ilk Are up to your eyeballs in hard Cash 1 asked. We make a the Oil people say you re filthy what would you expect they re att they were once Rich. They say it s an outrage thai people like you Are gobbling up the they should have gone into a business with some decent tax do you believe it s Good for society thai million Aires like you have three houses a yacht and an air plane while Oil men Are capping their Wells i Don t know Why real estate people should have to do without the necessities just because Oil men Don t know How the system works. Maybe we re Rich but did anyone Ever ask How we got that Way How did you get that Way we did it the old fashioned Way by using other people s in eco a unum to the Tarim ind an Mil hot no a Thom of hit Tunon and ire to no Wiy to m amij4rj it Ith Tsau.
