Mrs. Truman is in town, she con-
fers with her daily about menus
and other details. She is one of
the busiest women in Washington.
While Mrs. Sharpe declines to
divulge food habits of the Truman
family, it is widely known that the
President, Mrs. Truman and their
daughter prefer simple American
dishes. Fruits for the White House
table generally are ordered from
California, Missouri or Florida.
Most other provisions are purchased
from local dealers. The only gas
tronomic item raised at the White
House is mint from a bed original
ly planted by Theodore Roosevelt
and recently increased by trans
planting from Wakefield and other
historic places in Virginia. Food
given to the White House, and not
used there, is distributed to local
hospitals and charitable organiza-
tions.
Capital Kitchen
All food, except fancy cakes, ice
cream, candies and some desserts,
Is prepared in the White House
kitchen. The latter, located in the
basement, was remodeled and
stocked with new equipment in
1885. Furnishings include a huge
electric range, an electrically-oper-
ated stock kettle, meat grinder, food
chopper, batter mixer and dish
washer, and 30-gallon storage box
for ice cream. A dumb waiter lifts
the food to the buffers pantry be-
tween the two dining rooms on the
main floor.
The chief cook, two assistants
and a dish washer comprise the
top" kitchen staff. The down
stairs staff" totals around 20. Mrs.
Sharpe, like her predecessor, is very
much concerned with seeing that
ordinary home economies are prac-
ticed, both in purchasing food and
in caring for the White House gen.
orally. MY job is pretty much like
running an average house, except
that work is on a larger SCALE" she
said.

About Wnshington
By Hope Ridings Miller.

Mrs. Henrietta Nesbitt, Executive
Mansion housekeeper for more than
13 years, is writing her memoirs.
Whether they will ever be pub
lished, she doesn't know but,
certainly, it would seem her story
should be an interesting one. The
wife of the late Henry Nesbitt, who
was White House custodian for
many years, she took over presi-
Dental housekeeping the day after
the first Roosevelt Inauguration.
She is now retired and living quiet
ly in her Silver Spring home. No,
she doesn't care to talk for publi-
cation. Mrs. Sharpe is the person
to interview now," she said.
She was referring to her success
sor, Mrs. Mary E. Sharpe, whom she
trained and who was her assistant
for three years before becoming
White House housekeeper last May.
Mrs. Sharpe and Mrs. Nesbitt are
next-door neighbors. Back in 1943,
while Mrs. Sharpe's husband was a
CT overseas, Mrs. Nesbitt asked her
if she would like to work at the
White House. She would, and she
did and learned all the intri-
cate ins and outs of looking after
the 70-room Executive Mansion,
and seeing that residents there,
and guests, have delicious meals
served on time and in fitting
style.
Complex job
The business of keeping the White
House running smoothly is a full
time job, and complex one. Mrs.
Sharpe, an attractive young bru-
nette. says she has no special quail
ifications-"exce what I learned
from Mrs. Nesbitt." From her office
in the basement, she supervises the
servants, plans meals, purchases
food, directs the daily busting and
vacuum cleaning, inspects the china
closets periodically and keeps the
Fine Arts Commission informed
when china, silver and glassware
are needed.
Like Mrs. Nesbitt before her, Mrs.
Sharpe arrives at the White House
each morning at $50 am. When

Ed Farley,
Pioneer Miner,
Found Dead

Believed to have been dead since
May 5th, the body of Ed Farley, II,
pioneer miner of the Patagonia dis
trict, was found Saturday in his
cabin on the west slope of the Pata-
gonia Mountains about two miles
from the Trench mine.
Discovery of the body was made
by George Hayes, Farley's closest
|neighbor, who lives about mile
from the Farley home.
A resident Of the Patagonia dis
.trict for many years, and operator
of the old Harshell mine near Har-
shaw about Is years ago, Farley was
last seen alive when he came into
Patagonia on May 5th to buy gro
ceries and get his mail.
That he died on the 5th of May
was established from the fact that
a part of his groceries was still in
his car. The other half had been
taken into his home and there he
was found dead on his bed. His
cabin is located high up on rough
mountain trail.
A coroner's jury was selected Sat-
urday by Justice of the Peace Oliver
Rothrock and the remains were
viewed Sunday after which the body
was buried nearby.
Farley owned the mining property
which he had been working for
some time and is reported to have
said some time ago he was offered
$53 900 for the property. AS far as
known, he left no relatives.
