Phone 6496 For Orders To Go HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Ike Arrives In Key West For Vacation By MARWN L. ARROWSMITH KEY WEST, Fla. I President Eisenhower arrived here Wednei. day to soak ud Florida aunshine for two weeks on advice of his doctors. The presidential plane Columbine III landed at Boca Chlca Airport at 12; 48 p.m., after a flight- of sdoui jij, nours irom Washington. The temperature was a balmy is degrees and the sun was bril nam. That was m sharp contrast 10 me zu aegree weather Eisen howor left behind at Washington A crowd of whhe uniformed tailors and a khaki-clad honor guaid was on hand to greet the President at the airport, located aooul six miles from the naval base where he will stay. Physicians recommended warmer weather and more chance to get ouiaoors to nelp with Elsenhower's convalescense from his Sept. 24 heart attack. The choice of Key West was announced only Tuesday. The President was accompanied nere Dy nis orotner, Dr. Milton 8. Elsenhower, head of Pennsylvania state university. His stay could be an Important factor In his decision on whether to seek a second term. His doctors nope the tiin will condition him for resumption of a full work load In about two weeks. How his heart stands that load could tip the scales one way or me otner so far as a re-election bid is concerned. The Key West visit was an. nounced late yesterday. Elsenhsw. er will stay at the aame ' naval base which was a favorite vaca Hon spot of former President Truman. He will occupy quarters which h; iied in 1949 when, as president of Columbia University, he recu perated at Key West from a gastro intestinal attack. The quarters which Truman occupied on several trips to Florida, now have been subdivided and no longer are suit able for a presidential stay. Mrs. Elsenhower is not going. The White House noted that her mother Mrs. John 8. Doud of Denver is in Washington for the holiday season. Another reason Mrs. Eisenhower is s'aying behind Is the birth last week of a new granddaughter. The babv and her mother Mrs. John S. Elsenhower still are In Waller Reed Oeneral Hosuttal, The President and his wife visited them la'" yesterday. White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told newsmen it is unlikely Eisenhower will re turn to Washington for the owning of Congress next Tuesday. Hager ty called such a return unneces sary. The President's annual State of the Union message, outlining tlio administration's 1956 legislative program, will be sent to Congress Jan. 6 two days alter tne law makers convene. Selection of Key West for Elsen hower's visit came as a surprise For that matter, his decision to go South at this time did too. Only last week, in reolying to n invitation from Key West, Elsen hower said he doubled he would bo able to leave Washington with Con gress about to convene. He added that If he did leave he probably would travel no further than Georgia, where he has vacationed in 'he past. There was speculation that tne President's doctors overrode any Inclination on his part against a So"thern trio and h. tliev specifi cally recommended Florida. Hagerty said a check showed the temperature at Augusta, Oa., where Eisenhower has often visited had been running in the mid-50s this week about 20 degrees cooler than at Key West. Hagerty said hat was a factor in picking Key' West.

How many were left." Then it was. Sammie's turn "Say, Tea cher, you may know numbers but you don't know sheep. If one jumps out they all follow. Geo. N. Taylor None are left."
