When the fleet anchored off Long Beach,. Calif., Jack Rittmayer, a high school boy, turned a penchant for whittling into a profitable hobby. He began carving mod-. els of the entire fleet to scale dimensions of one inch for fifty feet. He completed fifteen ships, working two or three weeks in spare time on each. Navy folk and marine enthusiasts began hearing of the models and now the boy finds a market for boats as fast as he can turn them out. He uses soft pine wood and his tools are a small penknife and a block plane.
