Truman Paws

Beloved Mother

GRANDVIEW, Mo-, July 81 -
P)-President Truman today paid
a last, long visit to his well-loved
mother before her funeral tomor-
row.
Mrs. Martha Ellen Truman,
whose "a. year-old heart quietly
stopped beating yesterday, lay in
a gray casket in the old-fashioned
sitting-room of her small cottage
here.
A few every close friends
were admitted to pay reighborly
respects to Mrs. Truman, who
was clothed for her last journey
in a blue dress ornamented with
a dicky in a fashion decades-old.
Putting aside the affairs of state
completely, the son, whose moth
err "never thought he would be
President, but he'll be a good
one," gave himself over to sorrow
and strict seclusion at the sum-
mer White House in Independence

Then at 9:45 a. m. (CST)-very

trip through rolling farm country
to Grandview.
In the rear seat with the grave
faced Chief Executive was his
daughter Margaret. They were
followed by a single Secret Serv-

morrow. Burial, by her request,
will be beside her husband, John
A. Truman, in Kansas City's For

By Mrs. Truman's wish there
will be no flowers. She said they

messages of coincidence for the

MINNEAPOLIS, July 27 -UD
An 81-year-old couple who drove
here from Seattle, Wash, in a red'
wheeled 1921 model T Ford were
remarked today at their 5oth
wedding anniversary party in
Minnehaha park.
More than 400 relatives and
friends from the West and MID
west were at the park when sp1y,
smiling Mr.. and Mrs. John +.
Hieldschef chugged up in their be-
loved Tin Lizzie.
They insisted that the car, S'1e

TIE simple wedding ceremony.

So To Bed

The west holds the claim for
producing the tallest men. A
tribe known as the AmaZons
hold the claim of producing
the taIlcst wOmen-but Mrs.
j, +. Reed of Graenville Sound
can hold the present day claim
for the largest cucumber.
The cucumber in question
weighed 2 IA pounds and was
a little over a foot in length.
1t was planted in a hedgerow,
and when the finished cucum-
Der was found, it was growing
in a tree.
There's an old saying that
money doesn't grow on trees,
but from evidence produced,
you can't say the same thing
about cucumbers.

BEHAVIOR

nv tTIGn L -
What a thrilling thought it is to
think that every day this week,
all across this great Country, there
are being held public meetings, di-
vine services and huge open ban
quets at all of which the theme of
Brotherhood will be the central
subject.
In our schools and colleges, chur
ches and clubs, there are being
presented special talks, playlets
and pageants, musical programs
from the several faiths, motion pic
lures of film-strips, all p~ortraying
in one way or another the funda-
mental truth that we are all living
together as American citizens;
that this Nation belongs to no one
group; that "one hand washes the
other; we all rise or fall togeth-
err
Panel Discussions with repres-
entatives of the three major faiths
in America, the Protestant, Catho-
lie and Jewish, often with a Negro
added for an i~nterracial balance,
are presenting points of interest
and information to those in public
assembly. Frequently the subject
is: Brotherhood Pattern for Peace
or perhaps, BROTHERHOOD
BELIEVE 1T, LIVE 1T, SUPPORT

Clerical as well as lay leaders are
being used for such presentations,

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The pro-

United States and Great Britain
have agreed on the dates of Novem-
Der IL for the postwar resumption
of the Ryder Cup matches and the
American pros have chosen the
Portland (Oreg.) Golf Club as the
site.
After the British had announced
yesterday in London that the dates
were acceptable, Ed Dudley, presi-

his organization had selected the
Portland layout, scene of the 1946
PGA championship.
This will be the first meeting
since the team matches between
leading pros of the two countries at
Southport, England, in 1887, when
the Americans won, 8-4. Since Ryder
Cup play was inaugurated at Wor-
cester, Mass, in 1927 on a biennial
basis-interrupted by the war-the
United States has won four, Great

Combination, Goes
To u. 5. Tourney

In past years the All High base
ball team was just a dream team.
1t was team that on paper figured
to lick practically any other group
Of local boys the same age, but it
just was on paper.
This year 1t was different. the ALL
High team became a real team. And
as everybody figured, it beat every
body else. Not every time, but
enough times to become the cham
pion OF the National City Junior
League, top local loop OF 1S-year-
olds.
Now the boys are heading for
Joflnstown, Pa, and the national
championship tourney Of the ALL
America Baseball Congress which
opens, next Thursday. The local
boys have a good chance OF winning
there, too, because by now they've
shaken down into a well-knit team
doing everything expected of an ALL
High nine.
Jim Munro, the former Central
High coach who's done a lot of work
'wirA boys around town, took the
All-Hign team off paper and put
it on the field. He got the best
from the eight local schools, and
under sponsorship of the Marx
Jewelry Co. 1t won eight Of its 10
league games, aside from innumer-
able weekend encounters out Of
town.
The Marx Jewellers were beaten
only by the Costello and GPO mines,
and they beat them back. Costello
finished second in the league, and
what Al-High players aren't on the
Marx team are playing for Costello.
OF the 20 players selected by local
newspapers on first and second ALL
High teams, IL are with Marx.
These are: Pitchers Tex Jones and
Bill Witzel Of Coolidge, and Bob Jones
of Tech; Catchers Sal Di Giorgi
of Eastern and Pat O,Neill of VIII
son; Inflelders Bobby Rohr and Jess
Houston Of Coolidge; Bill Kallas,
Francis Wesley and Marty Cribbins
Of Eastern, and Outfielders Dick
Janigian of Wilson and Jim Colliton

Benny Duvall of Woodward wasn't
eligible for All-High, but he was as
good as these others and played
with Marx this summer. Late ad-
ditions to the club for Its trip to the
nationals, taken from other teams
in the league as permitted by Con-
gress rules, are AL Berling and John
