Mrs. Eisenhower died Just seven
years ago in September, 1916.
The sons: Arthur, Kansas City,
Mo-, banker; Edgar en- attorney of
Tacoma, Wash; Roy, who until
his death was a druggist at juno
tion City, Kans.; Earl, an electrical
engineer at Charleroi, Pa; and
Milton, president of Pennsylvania
State College, and Dwight decided
their humble boyhOod home to the
Eisenhower Foundation - approx
mately thirty-seven interested men,
mostly Kansans, comprise the Off
GERS of the Foundation. Adjacent
to the family home is the Eisen-
hover Museum which will house
his trophies, medals, souvenirs
and special displays from many
states as well as foreign coun=
tries. This building will be open
to the public early in 1854.
We entered the home by the side
door, just as they probably did. too.
There was a picture of the Eiseh-
howers taken on their golden we'd
ding anniversary. In the side board
were Mother EisenhOwer's best
dishes, with the sugar s,1lI remain
ing in the sugar bowl, as she last
used 1t. In the bathroom, which
was downstairs, was a large chest
which was part of her dowry when
she was married. It was customary
fUr the parents then to give one Of
the best pieces of furniture in their
house and this was her wedding
gift. In the sitting room" was a
Dlack ebony piano, which Mrs.
Eisenhower bought with the money
In her dowry, which was 81 900, the
piano cost 5000 of that sum. All
the sons took lessons and the les
sons took" with only two of them
Arthur and. Milton. Our guide
told us that Ike can't even play
the Missouri Waltz. In the par
lor' we saw crOcheted rugs that
the mother had made herself and
her plants, including a beautiful
] AFRICAN violet, were still in bloom
IN this room. The senior Eisenhow-
er bedroom was downstairs. the
room where both parents died. Mrs
Eisenhower, Sr.'s dusting can was
stlII on the back of a wooden rock
er where she had last left it. The
,Doys' three bedrooms were upstairs
and when President Eisenhower
was there last month he told the
newsmen that the trap door in the
ceiling in one room led to the attic
where the sons used to congregate
They'9 PLAY there until thew made
TOO much rumpus and then their
tall, 100 ID. mother would crawl
through that door and haul them
all downstairs again.
We came home without anv
game, but had gained more admira-
ton for our COmmander-in-Chief
} 1t was a nice town to visit and
we appreciate our President more
than ever after seeing the plain
: simple life from which he came.
Always, E. T. D.

BABSON Discusses The Livestock Situation

BabsOn Park, Mass, Nov.19. Al
though l own a 12,O00-acre ranch
in Florida, have never gone in for
livestock raising; hence | am by
no means an expert on this branch
of agriculture. What 1 have to say
on the subject is purely from the
laymen's point of view.
Headaches In The Cattle Country
Tie cattle business is an up-and-
down affair. and is one in which
the inexperienced operator can lose
his shirt. For about a dozen war
and postwar years the industry
prOspered. Everyone in it was
making money, and as cOnse-
quence everyone wanted ito get
into the act" with or without
experience. The big operators also
expanded, despite high prices for
stockers and feeders Cattle num-
bers increased rapidly, until the
number on U. S. farms hit an all
time high of 93,696,OO0 Head as of
January /, 1858. The number on
feed on that date also stood at a
record high of 5,836,O00 head-16%
above a year earlier. The cattle
cycle trend cannot quickly be
altered
Attractive prices were the chief
expansion lure. Weekly average
cattle prices had scared to $37.35
a hundredweight by September,
1851. In April, 1851, prices of heavy
steers at Chicago stood at $43.5O.
But trouble in the form of drought
was brewing in the Southwest. Pro-
lOnged hot, dry weather scorched
the Southwest and other areas in
1852 and 1853. Pastures virtually
evaporated. Feed shortages mounted
in the stricken areas. Many ranchers
haG no alternative but to rush

mail. The railroads tend to deceive
us with the apparent ease with
which they move mountains, but
they remain the only carrier big
enough, flexible enough and eco
nOmical enough to handle the mass
hauling job our mails require. At
no time is this fact more evident
than when Christmas mail begins
to fill postal boxes to Over-flOwing.
That this sudden deluge hits
carriers during some of the worst
weather of the year points up even
more sharply how truly fortunate
we are to have this all-weather, all
season carrier.
The railroads deserve the place
they have won alongside the faith
full letter carrier whom HerOdOtus
praised in these memorable words
more than % centuries ago:
Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat,
nor night stays these cOuriers from
the swift completion of their ap-
pointed rounds"
Thus do the railroads and post
men team up to help put the
merry" in Christmas.
Polio UnmaSked
After 81 frustrating years since
Americas first big polio epidemic,
in 1916, DR.. Wendell NJ. Stanley,
director of the Virus Laboratory
at the University of California, has
reported that two of his colleagues,
Drs. Howard L. Bachrach and Garlic
ton E. Schwerdt have worked out
a purifying process that has made
it possible to photograph the human
polio virus in pure form for the
first time. They now know that the
virus, which can be seen in an
electron microscope, is a spherical
germ about a milliOnth of an inch
in diameter
Now that the enemy is out in the
open, the doctors are confident he
can be dealt with. DR.. Stanley feels
that an effective vaccine, that can
be mass-produced for general use
may be available in five to ten years
Looking back, that makes the goa
seem very close.

WE CAN BE THANKFUL

At time when we are hOrrOr-stricken at
the atrOcity reports from Korea, frustrated
by the rOadblOcks in the way of Korean peace,
disgUsted with apathy of our European
partners toward their own salvation and sick
at heart over the sell-Out of our own trusted
public servants to Communism, it may seem
we haven't much for which to raise paeans Of
Thanksgiving.
But we can still agree that the Pilgrims
spanked one of the worlds great ideas when
they decided to risk their lives and assume
unpredictable hardships in an all-out effort
to found new way of life for themselves and
their descendants in a new hemishere. And if
that resOlute band who survived the first
winter on a more desOlate coast than they had
headed for, in a more rigorus climate than
they expected, and hemmed in by the most
savage of all the aboriginees in North
America, felt the urge to. give thanks to the
Almighty then so, perhaps, should we.
We can be thankful that the way of life
they founded has thusfar been preserved to
us. We can be thankful for our bounty of our
land. We can be thankful for the progress in
in the arts, in science and in industry that
have given the nation strength, and brought
the economic equality of man far closer than

Dear Friends:
Yesterday we drove to Clay Cen
ter, Kansas, which is about 100
miles west of here. We went there
so Hayes could hunt pheasant the
last day of the season. l don't be-
lieve hunting is his calling. We
came home with no pheasant, Just
like he often came home from the
Eastern Shore marshes with no
ducks, but he had fun with his
friends and that made it not all in
vain. We went to a farm house at
Clay Center and asked permission
of the farmer to be on his land. He
said, You ought to be in church. !"
We quickly advised him that earlier
we had been and in order to avoid
any arguments asked him if the
mound of dirt in his back yard was
his storm cellar, surreptitiously
hoping he would invite us to see it.
Sure enough, he did.
We entered his storm cellar bv
way of folding wooden doors like
one often enters to go into a cellar
in Milford. His cellars interior
was all reinforced with stones
cemented together (stone is very

doesn't often have such violent
storms.

opened since June 1947. Just si
years and they have had 168.OO
visitors there in those few wears
More interest has been invoke
since ike" became President. TIL
