NICHOLS Ci»*-ri »<■<.* Staff Correspondent CHANUTE AIR FORCE BASE 111. iff) The general recently In vited the tlylng .farmers in this area to have a day for themselves on this base And “bring the family.” Youngsters, wives, and overawed dirt-farmers were among the 1,500 who showed up. The invitation said the'tillers and their families could partake of a wonderful lunch for 75 cents or rough it, picnic style, any place on the base. The party was going strong when a sergeant burst Into MaJ. Gen. ’I. E. Gates’ office, forgot to salute, and shouted: “All hell’s busted loose, general. Some characters are eating lunch on vour front lawn.” “That’s fine,” said the general. He slapped on his hat and drove from headauarters to his home on the base. There was a farmer and his wife and three kids, gnawing on chicken bones in his front yard. He asked the folks how about some iced tea? He went into the house and asked Mrs. Gates to stir up a lot of iced tea. That’s the way the general, nick named “Hungry,” operates. He loves people. More than flying farmers, thougn he loves the boys on this base which covers about 2,000 acres. He has taught them, among other things, to pay for what they get. His present pride and Joy is a nine hole golf course, which the non coms built for themselves. “In the last 60 days,” he told me, “we have planted 4,000 trees on this course. Mast of the trees were donated by nurseries and the Uni versity of Illinois. We also have thousands of shruhs and rose bushes. The kids did most of the work. The course—we already had the ground—ls paid for already." “Hungry” Gates Is an operator. The general played wise with the contractors—and it worked out all right. They would have a pile of dirt, dug out of a hole, with no place to put it. Gates would say “put ft here.” “Here” Just happen ed to be a green. This happened at least nine times. “One fellow needed a lot of fill,” Gates said. “I told him where thev could find some dirt. I said dig It deep and talk all you want., See that hole over there? That's going to be a fine lake and a fine hazard.” How Is the golf course going to make it financially? That’s easy. There will be a 50 cents a round charge for officers and men. The non-coms win be allowed to caddy for 50 cents a round. The fees will pay for the upkeep. “In a few years, when all of these trees and shrubs and rose bushes come of age," the general said, “we’ll have one of the finest tittle courses in the country. You taxpayers ought to give us a bow; it didn’t cost you anything.” Deer Santa: DEAR SANTA CLAUS, I am a little boy two years old. I am too small to write but mother Is writing for me.
