THE MAN-ON-THE-STREETS SAYS Isenhower Becoming Candidate Man-on-tiie-street opinions of President Eisenhower becoming a candidate for a second term if the Republican party desires to nomi nate him. “I wish he would think about his health,” one housewife said. “His doctors can’t tell everything. Only he himself knows how he feels.” “If I were him I’d run for that Gettysburg farm and stay there in stead of running for the presiden cy,” said another. “Between Ike, Benson and 139 tobacco, the farmers are in for it,” quipped a farmer. “Mind you I’m not a Republican by any means,” said one, “but he has got the respect of the world, at least.” “I hope Nixon isn’t his run ning mate,” retorted a secretary. ‘I hope he has a running mate that is more mature and with good judg ment. After all, Ike might die and we’d need somebody with a good head on them to take his place.” “With Ike a sure-fire candidate for the Republican party, I’d say the Democrats are going to have to do some hustling.” Celebration for Local Girl Scouts Is Set for Sunday The Zebulon Girl Scouts will participate in the forty-fourth birthday celebration of the Girl Scouts of America March 12.
