HISTORICAL NAVAL BASE The principal naval base of the British Isles is Portsmouth, Hampshire, The town has exis- ted at least since the sixth cen- tury but did not become a na- val base until the reign of Hen- ry VIII. Its Royal Dockyard comprises about 500 acres of drydocks, repair basins, wharves and buildings, many historic. Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory, is on view. The novelists, Charles Dickens, George Mere- dith and Sir Walter Besant were all born in Portsmouth. A business executive was in the waiting room .on the Ma- ternity floor of the hospital, While other expectant fathers paced the floor and nervously thumbed through magazines, he sat at a table furiously working at a sheaf of papers he had ta- ken from his bulging briefcase, After some hours a nurse came into the room and spoke to him. "It's a boy, sir," she said. " Well," snapped the execu- tive, without looking up from his work, "ask him what he wants." For all of your Construction Needs Call .. . CONSTRUCTION CO.
