FMDAY, JUNE 13, 1952 Ike Has Warm Friends In Old Home Town THE NEWBERRY SUN rAUE skvjsh K;; ^;, %m mm ■ iWMm W- - ABILENE, KANS.—Ike Eisen hower came back home to dedi cate a war memorial museum, but the memory of the man himself is etched forever in the hearts of his friends and neighbors who know him best. In Abilene they Ho not simply like Ike—they love him. Old-time citizens wept when, in one of two public speeches, he paid tribute to his parents “who lived in that little cottage behind the tree* and reared our family.” And tie was cheered when he declared: “I have found out later that we were^ery poor—but the glory of America is that we didn’t know it then.” Time after time he recognized acquaintances and waved, or yell ed out first name greetings. Among the proudest was Charles M. Harger, 89-year old Abilene newspaper publisher who once employed Ike as a carrier boy and later was instrumental in helping arrange his entry into West Point. Eisenhower’s wholesome Ameri can background was dramatized in a thousand ways during two ENTERS HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT John T. Cromer entered Dr. Lawrence Thackson’s Institute in Orangeburg this morning where 'he will undergo treatment and minor surgery. He will be ac companied to Orangeburg by his wife and daughter, Miss Bonnelle Cromer. days of drama-pacaed activities. Past a creamery where Ike worked as a boy, an automobile caravan carried him and some of the most prominent political fig ures of the nation. Later, a parade depicting every step of his lifetime passed in re view 'before him—Ike with his baseball teamrmates; at the old swimming hole; fishing in Mud Creek. Eisenhower alternately laughed, cheered, and came close to tears as he saw old friends including surviving members of his high school football team, posed in gridiron array. One float was oc cupied by several of his former school teachers. A huge picture of Mrs. Eisen hower was captioned: “Ike’s Boss.” He nodded enthusiastical ly and grinned broadly. Eisenhower’s liking for West ern stories was acknowledged by the presence of scores of saddle horses ridden by members of or ganizations retaining the flavor of this plains area. Two porters in the Sunflower Hotel quarreled good-naturedly over which would handle Ike’s luggage, for each counted him a personal friend. The barber on the corner, the postmaster, some one in almost every place of busi ness and every home spun yams of Elsenhower's boyhood. In the years ahead, millions are eipected to come here to in spect the Eisenhower family home and—after it Is completed—the memorial museum. When they do, they should al so look at the community's list of World War II service men, posted on a memorial roster.* In its alphabetical place is the name ‘Dwight D. Eisenhower.” ■■ /f. mk BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Bream Simply Love The Golden Yellow Meal Won SUPER-HIGHWAY . . .

That Sunday afternoon we had slipped off down in the pasture. It was awful hot and we soon got tired of playing ball. So we were resting there under the cedars by the branch. We were just young sprouts who had reach ed the age where we liked to act like men and cuss a bit. And our “cussing” was very different to cursing. There was no evil con viction behind it. It was just a bit of ego popping off from fast growing youngsters. ”” One of the boys suggested that we have a cussing contest. And the idea had general appeal. So one by one we, colored and white, mounted the rail fence and cut loose with such cussing as we could command. As I recall, Ben won. So he was allowed to pitch when it got a little cooler and we resumed our ball game. And we developed all sorts of crazy sayings. One that had a long run was this: “I hardly knewed you when I sawed you came roding down the road on those little red mule.” Another one, utterly without meaning, was this: “Topeka-leek- er ginuell cackwell bone.” That went the rounds for years. We’d just pop out with it when things got dull and we had nothing else to say. And another one of this sort was: “Hoot man nanny and a hot cha-cha.” Say that over. It says right good. My, my, the craziness we did enjoy. (In Anderson independent by John Hill) Last week I told you that I’d try to tell you how to raise Bream bait at homo and have one of the beet baits that has been found. I refer to the golden grub or yellow mealworm. Mr. Earl Kennamer of Auburn, Ala bama, describes the worms by saying “The Yellow mealworm Is to a bluegill or Bream what a mushroom garnished sirloin is to a hungry man who’s been on a much diet for a week.” Originally a native of Europe, the yellow me&lwonn is now wide ly distributed throughout the world. The insect feeds on cereals and associated products. Especially in dark, moist spots. Adult mealworms are bzbwnish -black beetles almost an inch long. The beetles lay from 260 to 1000 eggs at a time. The eggs develop into a tiny white larvae that turn brown and shiny with age. When the worms reach a length of 1 inch or over they are perfect bream bait. It is best to have a screen cov ered wooden box or sawed off me tal drum for raising worms. Fill the box to a depth of 12 inches or so with wheat bran or corn meal. A few potatoes should be present at all times in each box. The potatoes chiefly supply mois ture but are also eaten by the worms. There is no set rate for stock ing a new container with worms. In time a few adults or immature mealworms will populate a con tainer to its carrying capacity. It is best to get several hundred of the worms for an Initial start The worms are very easy to raise, but too much moisture will kill them. If you want to order d few hundred worms you can write Mr. Jude Robinson, Auburn, Ala bama. He tries to keep about 50,000 worms on hand at all times so yon shouldn’t have any trouble getting them from him. HE WOULDN’T LIKE IT President Truman might take over the newspapers, but we are not worried about him keeping them. After about two weeks —maybe sooner—he’d give them back quicker than he took them. Harry may think he has troubles now, but just let him try to run a weekly paper for a while, and he’ll realize he didn’t know when he was well off. * Josephus Daniels is said to have told a story about a man who sold his soul to the devil for anything he wanted. Any time he wanted anything he wrote a check on the bank of Hell and it was paid. The checks were promptly paid until the fellow bought a newspaper, then the check bounced. The devil said the contract was off, because U the h man got a newspaper, he would bankrupt hell, and besides anybody that ran a newspaper would go to hell anyway. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give some of those boys in Washington a weekly newspaper and let them learn the hard way. —Pageland Journal. “I’M GEORGE— T’M THE GUY YOU LET DO IT;* “I’m really beginning to run your country—your state, your county and your town, too. You don’t like that do you? But haven’t you been saying, “I haven’t got the time. Let George do it”? So . . . I’m doing it. “As long as you do nothin more than conplain, I’m sitting pretty.
