wobbling on tiny figure skates
Barbara, for whom skating is an
old enthusiasm, is taking figure
skating lessons.
She's a fairly tall, slender and
soft-spoken girl, who looks more
like the coed she used to be than
a young mother Of 26. One OF
the reasons, perhaps, why she
is able to weave her two lives
together so adroitly is that She
a daughter of a professional
Army man as well as the wife
of one. She's accustomed to
making the best Of difficult sit
uations.
Army Daughter
She was born Barbara Jean
Thompson, the daughter of Col.
and Mrs. Percy Thompson, at
Fort Knox, KY. Col. Thompson
was stationed at various places
over the years-including a peri
Cd in Hawaii-"but I always
think of Lafayette. Ind, as
home." she said. Partly be-
cause my father was stationed
at Purdue, teaching ROTC,, from
1886 to 1940-just when ! was
at the age to make friends and
keep them.
Then in 1914, ! went back
there to college. My father
came from Indiana, and a lot
of my friends live In Indianap-
oils. and so I always feel I'm a

NEW YORK (R.-Barbara
Eisenhower is a young woman
with two lives.
AS the wife Of an Army ma
Jor on duty in Korea she pur-
sues an unremarkable and out
he-limelight existence with
her three young children in a
small town. On holidays and
other special occasions she
plunges briefly into the excite
ment which surrounds her in
laWs-President-elect Dwight D.
Eisenhower and his wife.
Right now, the attractive,
dark-haired young Eisenhower
daughter-in-law, while enjoying
the hullaballoo around 60 Morn
ingside drive, the Commodore
Hotel and-soon to come the
White House, is primarily con-
cerned with the proper upbring-
ing of Ike and Mamie's three
grandchildren-Dwight David II,
going on S: Barbara Anne. 3.
and Susan Elaine, almost a year
old.
So far, she thinks. the chill
dren haven't reacted badly to
any of the fuss-and quickly
adds that part Of the reason is
that neither the general nor his
wife spoils the youngsters. They
won't let any one else spoil them
either.
"The older ones are apt to be
a little difficult when we get
home after a few days at Morn
ingside drive" she said. "They
expect every one to stop and
listen to them. But all children
are like that. I watch their
little friends, and I don't think
mine are a bit worse behaved
than the others"
Major in Korea
Mai. John Eisenhower and
his wife planned carefully for
her stay-home life with the chill
dren when he was assigned over
seas. Because of the generals
position over the years. they were
not unaccustomed to consider
able attention.
Last spring when it appeared
Ike was definitely in the running
for the presidential nomination
the young couple decided Bar
bara and the children would
wait out the majors Korean as
signment in a small bungalow
they had rented near Highland
Falls, N. Y. Nearby is West Point
where the Eisenhowers have
many friends. Many other young
Army people and their children
live in the area. Some OF the
wives are situated like Barbara
with husbands away on combat
duty.
The bungalow was taken over
while the Republican conven-
ton was at fever pitch.
r I'm afraid" says Barbara,
"that we didn't pay as much at
tention to getting things set as
we should have"
Toke to the Ice
Since then, she's taken partic-
ular pains to resist the tempta-
ton of too frequently visiting her
in-laws, so that the children can
live routine and disciplined lives.
When Ike visited Korea in De-
cember, Barbara and the three
children were at Highland Falls.
For them, the big excitement
was ice-Skating. Her Oldest son.

They were engaged a few
months later-in February, l947.

it was a misprint. But ! had two

Her father-in-law isn't the
only Eisenhower interested in
cooking. John attended Army
Cooks School, to fill in time be-
fore returning to college for other
courses.

make yeast rolls for the first din
ner party we gave" Barbara re-
called. "He put the dough on

cause I knew lots Of the girls liv-

she Shenandoah Valley Road
The Shenandoah Valley Railroad
extends from Hagerstown, its north
ern terminus, to Roanoke, Virginia,
a distance of 239 miles. There it
connects with the Norfolk and West
ern Road and becomes the northern
arm of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia System, connecting it
at Hagerstown with Baltimore by
the Western Maryland, and with
Philadelphia and the East by the

Over this road roll in constant

blocks of marble from Tennessee,

find their way to market over this
road. At Hagerstown the stream di-

This is the third in a series of ar
ticles on the booklet "Hagerstown,'
by I. l. c. Williams, published in
1887 by the Mail Publishing Com
pany.
This weeks installment deals with
what Mr.. Williams had to say about
railroads.
The Railroads radiate from Hag-
erStown like the spokes from the
hub of wheel, in six different di-
rections, affording easy and quick
means for travellers, or freight, to
reach any desired point.
The Western Maryland Road
This road connects Hagerstown
with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal

where the semi bituminous Cum
berland coal is reached. Towards
the East the Western Maryland is
the most direct route to Baltimore,
"a miles distant, and the time on
the express trains being somewhat
less than three hours. At Edgemont,
twelve miles from Hagerstown, the
Baltimore and Cumberland Valley
branch of the Western Maryland
road, leads through the fourishing
manufacturing town of Waynesboro.
Pa, down the fertile Cumberland
Valley, through Chambersburg and
on to Shippensburg, where it con-
meets with the Harrisburg and Poto-
mac Railroad, which, it is expected.
will be extended to Harrisburg, Pa,
thus giving Hagerstown the advant-
age of competing lines to the anthra-
cite coal regions of Pennsylvania
an advantage which but few towns
enjoy. At Rocky Ridge there is an
other branch. leading through a
rich section, to Emmitsburg, the seat
of Mount Saint Mary's and st. Jo-
seph's Colleges. At Frederick juno
ton is made with the Frederick
branch of the Pennsylvania road to
Frederick city on the south and
Hanover, York and various places in
Pennsylvania on the north. Further
on, the Gettysburg and Hanover
branch of the Western Maryland
leaves the main track and gives ac-
cess to great expanse of the most
productive part of Pennsylvania.
This road, under the sagacious
management of its President and
General Manager, John H. Hood, as
sisted by B. Howell Griswold, ESQ,
General Freight and Passenger
Agent, has advanced from a mere
insolvent local road in
to a career of prosperity and with
a mileage nearly three hundred per
cent, greater than it was few years
ago. 1t is the link which connects
the great Virginia, Tennessee and
Georgia system, which has its north
em terminus at Hagerstown, with
Baltimore. It also furnishes.
through its connections at Baltimore,
a line from Hagerstown and the
South to Philadelphia and New
York. The terminal facilities of this
road at Hagerstown are all that can
be desired. 1t has two passenger
stations, an extensive yard and am
pie buildings for the handling of
freight and two grain elevators. It's
tracks embrace the town on three
sides, and connect with all the other
roads.

Dav When
Brakes Fail

Sensing that a panel truck,
travelling north on Noble rd., with
horn sounding and light flashing,
was in difficulty. Traffic Officer
John Mcdonald quickly halted
pedestrian and vehicular traffic to
clear the Euclid Noble intersection
as the truck crossed Euclid ave. at
900 a. m. Monday, February 10th.
However, one motorist travelling
west on Euclid continued to make
a right turn into North Noble, and
was struck on the left rear by the
panel truck which then swerved to
the left, shipping off a city light
pole with such force as to land it
in a treetop. Fortunately no one
was injured.
Driver of the truck, Jerry Di-
Maris, 81, of 17406 Harrington
rd., told police the brakes failed
just as he started down the hill.
He praised Patrolman Mcdonald
for his quick response in halting
all traffic, thus avoiding what
could have been a serious accident.
1t was just the hour that pupils
were enroute to Christ the King
School and a goodly number of
them witnessed the racing truck as
they were signaled to keep back"
