Kansas May Claim General Eisenhower As 'Native Son'
Kansas now claims another of the world's leaders, General Dwight Eisenhower.
To obtain his military education, Eisenhower went to West Point. He was in the top third of his class, played football and was outstanding in gymnastics.
Since his face, when sober, is as "bleak as Kansas plains," General Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower makes it a point to keep his friendly disposition obvious by his engaging grim.
He was graduated from West Point in 1915 and was married a few months later to a San Antonio girl. During the World War I he was in charge of the Tank Training Center at Camp Celt, Pennsylvania. At the age of 28 he was a lieutenant colonel with 6,000 men under him. After the war he remained with the Tank Corps for several years. Several years later he worked with MacArthur in the Philippines.
The General's most outstanding characteristic is his mid-western friendliness and, though born on the Texas plains, he has always claimed Kansas as his home state.
Dale to the skill of his maneuvers in Louisiana in 1941 as Chief of Staff of General Walter Kreuger's Third Army, he was made a Brigadier General. Five days after Pearl Harbor, he was given a desk job in the War Department where he worked until he assumed his European post.
Eisenhower worked as Chief of the Operations Division, second only to General Marshall in power of military decision. It was during his work there that he was sent to Europe to command the American Divisions there.
Eisenhower's men and officers feel very much at home with their likeable general. This spirit paves the way for greater cooperation between officers and men.
Hope Springs Eternal
In Our Nation, a girl sat, wide-eyed, and chin in palm, in the pink-amber rays of a setting sun, unmindful of her pink-eyed and eared white rabbit nibbling at spring's tender green clover. The rabbit moved closer and touched her knee, and the girl absently stroked its soft fur.
it is spring, and she was dreaming

classes (three times a week for 16 weeks), the freshmen will spend 15 hours in leadership training (infantry drill), eight hours in physical training, four hours in military fundamentals, including the National Defense Act and their obligations of citizenship, nine hours of rifle marksmanship, four hours of military sanitation and first aid, five hours mechanical training in taking apart and examining the M-1 rifle, and three hours in learning about military discipline, courtesy, and customs.
Besides the 23 hours included in infantry drill and physical training, the second year basic R.O.T.C. students will also put in 20 hours in map reading and photographic reading, besides five hours in study of the identification of aircraft.
"Without a doubt," said Capt Smith, "those men with the training they will receive in these courses will be 'way ahead of the field' whenever they are called into active military service."
no doubt of that, but hers are no ordinary dreams, for these are no ordinary times. The softness of the fur beneath her touch is the antithesis of the harshness war has brought her world.
This harshness makes her dreams what they are. Nostalgic reminiscences of happy hours, joyous days spent with a sweetheart, a brother, or friends now away, perhaps never to return. Incredulous wonderings about far lands, distant seas, and strange people. Straining efforts to see into a future darker than the approaching night. Horrified visions of a somehow remote but vivid present blood-red with fears and hatreds.
Her dreams are sad and fearful, but yet somehow tinged with hopes, happy hopes. "Someday" is the warp in the cloth her mind is weaving; "everything will be all right," the pattern in which the cloth is woven.
Her admitted confusion slows the loom's shuttles at times, but the pattern is never confused. Certainty that her world will return to happy normality remains.
The orange sun dropped below the horizon beyond which she was looking, into a hope-brightened future. She paid no heed, until a chill breeze touched her and reminded her of here and now. With a faint pensive sigh, she rose and carried her white rabbit to his hutch. Then with light, almost gay steps, she returned to the house.
In youth, "Hope springs eternal."

SQUIRRELS ARBITRATE 'After You, Alphonse' A Moral?
By Bill Haage
Peaceful settlement of problems is not a monopoly of the genus homo sapiens.
Around the third floor of our house runs a white railing just wide enough for a squirrel to scamper along. At the middle is a flag pole, and at either end black locust trees brush the railing; From time to time, squirrels use the railing as a shortcut between the two trees; usually only one squirrel tries to use the bridge at a time, and traffic congestion has been unknown.
The other morning, however, two chattering red squirrels dropped from the branches on opposite sides of the house and began crossing to the other side. As they drew near to the center of the railing, they became aware that one must back up or get off the railing.
They met at the flag pole, vainly tried to pass, retreated, and surveyed the situation, chattering and cussing in army muleskinner language. As they paused to regain their breath, they evidently abandoned the idea of playing "King on the Mountain" and began hunting for a more peaceful settlement.
Again meeting at the flag pole, they chattered softly for a few minutes, and then nodded gravely as a decision was reached. The southbound squirrel turned, scampered up the flag pole, and with an "After you, my dear Alphonse" gesture, waved the northbound squirrel across the railing.
