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.”

There is just no limit to the
things a bunch of country boys
will think up and do.
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.
