Women in Riverhead, L. I., are learning to install that extra shelf, put up the curtain rods or build a book case so their husbands will not now be pestered. Laura, Mrs. John Remsen of Mt. Sinai, is the carpenter unit instructor. Sixty leaders have just completed a course in the rudiments of simple carpentry at Riverhead, East Northport and Babylon, and will teach similar classes in 33 localities in Suffolk County. Laura had the women hammer and saw to music, "dreamy at first" and then to livelier tunes like "Sh-Boom." Some of the women take to carpentry like ducks to water and want to learn more. They sand stairs and repaired, for example, salad bowls, making their own stain in such cases, a plug of tobacco ground up and mixed with ammonia - inexpensive.
