PRESIDENT’S MOTHER IS 93 WASHINGTON — The President’« mother is 93 years old. It’s been a king 93 years of taking knocks and enjoying good times since her birth November 25. 1852. That was just two years after the famous Missouri compromise which historians claim contributed to the Civil war. In the years that have passed, the Jackson county farm where Martha Ellen Truman was born has become 33rd and Indiana avenue in Kansas City, while her son, whom she never expected to be President, now sits in the White House. Like her son, Mrs. Truman is a friendly person who likes company, including newspaper reporters. And if it wasn’t for her maiden daughter, Miss Mary Jane Truman, who lives with her. and another son, who lives not far away, the President’s mother would be a mecca of news interest. But whenever her son and daughter see a reporter approaching, death The champion corn growers of America were announced during the meeting of the Illinois .Agricultural lurks in their eyes.

Except for being slightly hard of hearing, she is exceptionally hearty. Her voice Is crisp, her observations pointed, and she possesses a poise and calmness of spirit rare in women of her age. Like her son. who likes to get up early, Mrs Truman is up with the dawn and about her household tasks. The house in Grandview. Mo., is a one-story affair, which enables her to get about without climbing stairs. A half-acre yard, enclosed by wire, surrounds the house. Four rocking ehairs are in the front room.

Mrs. Truman reads with interest, occasionally attends the Baptist church, knows everyone in Grand view and until recently took an active part in the affairs of the com munity. Back in 1934 when she was a rela tive youngster of only 82. Mrs. Tru man even took an active part in Harry's campaign for the Democrat ic senatorial nomination, making frequent trips into Missouri counties visiting old friends in behalf of her son. Then, during the last Presiden- tial campaign, she opened her home to women of Washington township communities and served as chair- man of county group meetings for women party workers. When Truman first was mentioned as vice presidential nominee, his mother didn't want him to be vice president. “Harry is doing a good job in the senate,” she said. "And he ought to stay there.” But listening to radio returns the night of the election, she switched chairs frequently and refused to go to bed until definite word of a Demo cratic victory was received. "If Harry doesn't win,” she com mented then, “he won’t be dis graced. After all, it won't kill him to lose.” Months later, when Truman was elevated to the Presidency by the death of the late Frank- tin Roosevelt, she said: " I never thought Harry would be Presi dent some day. like most mothers think. 1 never thought he would be vice president—nor senator, for that matter. But whatever he is—I’m for him.” Since the British liberation of llong Kong. these two Chinese brothers, named Big Hings, II, and l ittle Hings, 8, have hern adopted In the KAF Spitfire squadron stationed at Kaitak airport, lheir father was killed by the Japs and their mother is seriously ill. 1 ir>t Neu Irons (MT \»t'inbl\ Line Newest kind of Iron, a Eureka company cordless electric, which operates from safety base to which cord is attached, is shown coming off the assembly line.

And anyone who has ever talked with Mrs Truman cannot deny that. Her eyes never fail to twinkle when someone mentions her son.
