...were scattered-Anna stayed in Seattle, James on the Pacific Coast, John in Boston. Elliott, traveling for the Army, could not get to Washington. Only Franklin Jr., his wife and Franklin Roosevelt III, aged 2½, were on hand as in the past. There were only two children to hang their stockings on the mantelpiece in the President's bedroom-Franklin III and Harry Hopkins' small daughter, Diana. It was the quietest Christmas since the first that the Roosevelts spent in the White House. The changed mood was like that of Christians all over the world-a mood...
Crown Princess Juliana of The Netherlands was a house guest at the White House for several days, during which the Princess visited Mount Vernon with Mrs. Roosevelt (Said she: "Why, there are no cupboards in the rooms !

Josh Biglands, sawedoff, red-faced herdsman of the University of Alberta, shortened his grip on "Robin Hood's" tether and nudged the Shorthorn steer's feet so that...
...white-haired, round, short, blue-eyed, the Cap is having the time of his life putting Salida on the map. Grateful to Salida, he has spurned offers to go elsewhere. On the walls of his office (a little red-brick cottage) hang two pictures of the $3,000,000 Foshay Tower. He still keeps the motto which used to hang over his desk when he was a Northwestern reigning utilitycoon: Why worry? It won't last. Nothing does...
