as to planting. Gardeners
should feed roses with insecticide-fertilizer
dust when
bushes are first covered with
leaves, the second feeding
when the bloom is first on and
the final fertilizing about the
first of August. Do not fertilize
again because of nearness of
frost. After the first frost all
the leaves should be removed
to eliminate insects and insect
egg cases. Prune to about 8"
tall. Most difficult rose prob
lems in Morrow county are the
aphids, the leafhopper insect
and, of course, mildew," she
explained
Popular are the peace roses,
the tropicana, the yellow
summer sunshine, red mir
andy and Paul Scarlett. New
varieties include the John
Kennedy, a white aromatic
rose, and sun fire. Members of
the garden dub were ad
monished to keep the identi
fying tags on the bushes for
recognition when not in bloom.
The group enjoyed a potluck

nI ornorot
story of her father
By
JUSTINE WEATHERFORD
Marian Brosnan reviewed
the 1973 best-selling biogra
phy, "Harry S. Truman," for
the Bookworm Club at its first
February meeting.
The hardback original pub
lication was by William Mor
row & Co., Inc., but the
reviewer used Pocket Books'
paperback edition, $1.95, The
edition presents 49 photo
graphs, and has a 20 page
index included in its 660 pages.
Mrs. Brosnan told how the
narrative covers Truman's
life from his Missouri boyhood
and early years in business
and politics through the mo
mentous years in Washington
when he served as U.S.
Senator, Vice-President and
President to his long and
productive retirement in
Independence.
A New York Times review
claims "To hear Mr. Tru
man's common sense cutting
through the vagaries of politi
cal thinking in an intense
pleasure." Daughter Mar
garet writes with the intimate
insight that only she can
provide as she describes all
the great events she and her
father experienced. Her por
trait shows one of the most
ardent family men ever to
occupy the White House, or, as
he called it, the "Big White
Jail." Often when affairs of
state separated him from the
most important people of his
life--his wife, daughter, moth
er and sisterhe would send
them affectionate letters that
described the great events as
they were happening and the
world leaders he was meeting.
Many of these letters are
published for the first time in
this book which make "Harry
S. Truman" stand out as a
great human and the book a
significant historical docu
ment. Two of the many enjoyable
passages deal with the chris
tening of the battleship Mis
souri and with Truman's
approach to the vice-presidency.
After he became Presi
dent, Truman still fumed
about the Missouri launching
which had taken place during
his senatorial period. A letter
home included this:
"The darned Navy have
tried to give me an impossible
schedule (for a trip to Flori
da). As you know, every
Admiral in nine hundred miles
wants to be seen with the
President. But they are going
to be disappointed. I'll never
forget what the same Admi
rals did to me and my sweet
daughter at the launching of
the Missouri.
"The same Admirals should
read Josh Billings-should
have read him before the
launching. He said 'Always be
nice to your pore relations
they may suddenly become
rich someday and it will be
hard to explain.'"
A letter to Margaret written
July 9, 1944 in answer to her
question as to whether he was
eager to be nominated vice
president :
"Yours was a very nice
letter and I was so happy to
get it in the first mail
yesterday. Yes, they are
plotting against your dad..

Every columnist prognosti

any other door at sixty."
The ordeal of F.D.R.'s death
and Truman's inauguration is
carefully covered in the book
as are the many great
situations Harry Truman
faced during his administra
tion. Max Lerner of the New York
Post states, "Memories come
welling back ... I like it when a
daughter mines her father's
past and comes up proudly
and lovingly with rich nug
gets, in anecdotes, family
letters, earthy private re
marks. She tries hard to be
objective, but this is one case
where historical objectivity is
for the birds and where the
subjective daughter's eyeview,
is irreplaceable."
As she wrote, Margaret
consulted her dad, then in his
80s. On her final page she
says, "I asked Dad if he
wanted to say anything spe
cial to close this book. He
though for a moment and said
that if he had to select one
statement to sum up his life in
politics, he would choose a
speech he made in North
Carolina during the 1948
campaign.
"It was the only time we
invaded the South during
those tumultuous weeks.
Stirred by the setting, Dad
spoke from his heart. He
discussed three Southerners
who became Presidents of the
United States-Andrew Jack
son, James K. Polk and
Andrew Johnson. All of them,
Dad said, 'lived through. days
when reason was overcome by
emotion,' and because of this
'their acts were misunder
stood and misinterpreted. So it
is not surprising that the
estimates of these men made
by their contemporaries have
been almost discarded .by
;later generations.'
"But the thing that made the
lives of these Presidents most
meaningful to him was the
way their policies had aroused
the wrath of some sincere and
honest men. That, Dad said,
was 'a serious thing. A Presi
dent may dismiss the abuse of
scoundrels, but to be de
nounced by honest men,
honestly outraged, is a test of
greatness that none but the
strongest men survive.'
"There was, he concluded,
only one lesson to be drawn
from the story of these three
Presidents, 'Do your duty and
history will do you justice.
"In this book I have tried to
show you how a strong man,
whom I happen to love very
much, did his duty. I am
confident that history will do
him justice."
The Chicago Sun-Times
Showcase stated, "A warm,
intimate and moving biogra
phy, written well and with
distinction. ..makes you fell as
if you're at the Truman family
dinner table."
