Big Celebration Greets Ike's 63rd Birthday
Page 3
Washington—(U.P.)-President Eisenhower was 63 years old today and bearing up well under the glittering burden of the most star-spangled birthday celebration in generations.
He scheduled a full day in his office, including appointments with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and the British ambassador, before starting out late tonight on a 5-state speaking tour that will take him from Ohio to the Mexican border.
There was little inclination at the White House to hold a birthday celebration of any size today after the extravaganza Republicans staged last night in Hershey, Penn.

There were birthday cakes by the hundreds, including one (wooden) over 30 feet high and another (real) seven feet tall. At one point the President received a fiery salute from 7,000 persons; each equipped with a small wooden birthday cake and a lighted red candle.
And, to top off a long evening, there was an historical pageant set to music which was interrupted by laughter and applause when Paul Revere on horseback rode around an arena ring, followed quite seriously by a man in a colonial military costume bearing a shovel.
An estimated 20,000 to 25,000 persons participated in the celebration which included three parties.

J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
"Go bury your head in the sand," shrieked Sheedy's chick. You'll never put a wing on my finger until you start using Wildroot Cream-Oil on that messy hair. It's America's favorite hair tonic. Keeps hair combed
dandruff. Relieves annoying dryness. Helps you pass the Finger-Nail Test." Paul looked so good the very fuzz time he used Wildroot Cream-Oil, his pigeon egged him on until he proposed. So why don't you buy a bottle or tube today at any toilet goods counter. And necks time you have a haircut, ask for Wildroot Cream-Oil on your hair. Then no gal will ever give you the bird.
