monsters of the -power age were all
at work there at the. same time: 2
Lrge bulldozers, one dragline
o.tvher, 5'dump trucks and a dozen
men. And there 12 men plus the ma

would have taken a veritable multi

the general “hopes this statement

Eisenhower in the statement con

The text of his statement:
Senator Lodge’s announcement
of yesterday as Reported in the
press gives an accurate account of
the' general tenor of my political
convictions and gf my Republican
voting record. He was correct also
in • stating that I would not seek
nomination to political office.
I have frequently and publicly
expressed my refusal to do so.''
My convictions in this regard
have been reinforced by the char

Back in the great depression, farm,
credit dried clear up. Folks-who |
were farming then will never forget,
that. Banks were, so hard pressed,;
the could do nothing. All we had I
left was the "Seed Loan,” and it was;
nothing like adequate to take care,of!

It was then that Production Credit

Boys Are That Way
'Wo had a good many superstitions
jin which we believed implicitly.
i “Omr-was that if you killed a snake
and-hung it on a l.imb, it would make
it rain. ’ During droughts we were
careful to 'comply with this. And, of
course, it always • eventually rained.
-It always -had. Snake or no snake.
But that made no difference~To"mr.-
W’e clung to our belief.
Another one was, we believed if
a turtle T or cooter as we called ’em,;
bi* you it wouldn’t turn loose until it
thundered. I think they told us that
to make us careful in messing with;
those creatures, as-we’ explored from
the source to the mouth of our creek, j
That thing was indelibly impressed
on my mind. And I had a number of
nightmares, thinking one of those
things had me and the skies were
clear. f
In fact, we were always doubly
careful around them during long dry
spells. But on out during the thund
erstorms of summer, we always felt
a bit moj#-secure. In fact, we played
with^tfiem when it was thundering,
Knowing a bite couldn’t* last long.
As kids we .wouldn’t think of
turping around and going back to
get something we forgot without
first making a cross mark there in
the path with our big toe and'spit
ting on it. .That was to w.ird off bad
luck. Z,
