Agent The Western Carolina Crafts Workshop will be held April 5 and 6 at the Montreat Assembly Inn, Montreat, North Carolina. The workshop is open to all craft leaders. A craft leader is an adult who will teach someone else what they learned at the workshop. The leader can teach indivi duals or groups. I want to encourage Extension Home makers crafts leaders, 4-H leaders, scout leaders, recrea tional craft leaders and other individual craft leaders to participate in the workshop. Workshop classes include: Bargello, Chair Bottoming (Wide Cane), Chair Bottom ing (Fibre-Cord), Chair Can ing, Corn Shuck Wreaths, Creative Stitchery, Decoup age, (advanced) Frame Loom Weaving, Hand-tied Fringe, | Hand Spinning, Jewelry, Oshibana, Pine Cone and Nati t REPORT FROM U.S. Senator •JESSE ★ ★ Whelms | WASHINGTON—A week or so back, there was a brief item in one of the North Carolina papers reporting that Jerry Crump of Lincolnton had died in a traffic accident. The item mentioned that Mr. Crump had been cited for heroism during the Korean War. — As I read the item, my mind raced back in time to one morning in 1952, when I went down to the White House with North Carolina's Senators Clyde R. Hoey and Willis Smith. ] President Truman had invited us to attend ceremonies in the J Rose Garden for three young men who were being awarded I the Congressional Medal of Honor —the top honor that can I be bestowed upon a U. S. serviceman. Two of the young men were there —Jerry Crump of | Lincolnton, N. C., and another soldier —from the mid-west, | as I recall. The third soldier was not there. He had lost his life, and the President presented the Medal of Honor to his 1 family. I CRUMP—I shall always remember that morning. It I was a beautiful day. The families of the three men had come I to Washington at the invitation of the President of the United fl States. General Omar Bradley, whom I saw recently at the fl inauguration of President Carter, stood with the President | at the ceremony. President Truman greeted everyone in the Oval Office; 1 then we proceeded with the President to the Rose Garden. 1 I remember that the President's voice choked up as he read 1 each of the citations. Then he asked the two young men to 1 stand beside him. He shook their hands simultaneously as the I newsmen took pictures of the occasion. I Afterwards, there was a quiet luncheon at the Capitol I for Jerry Crump and his family. Then they departed, heading ]| back to Lincolnton. I never saw him again—but many times I during the years since, I have wondered how he was getting fi along. I MIRACLE—Young Jerry had incredibly survived the I severe wounds he suffered in battle on September 6-7, 1951. I On September 7, a communist had lobbed a hand grenade into I a group of Americans. Sergeant Crump, without a second I thought, threw his body over the v grenade to save the lives of I his fellow soldiers. I He did so, without hesitation, knowing that it would I undoubtedly cost him his own life. Miraculously, he was still B barely alive after the grenade exploded. He was rushed to an I Army hospital, where he was patched up, and then flown I to another hospital where he began a series of operations over I a period of more than a year. I PUZZLED—That morning at the White House he was ■ a quiet, shy young American who seemed puzzled that so I much attention was being devoted to him. I As I say, I never saw Jerry Crump again after that day in I Washington nearly a quarter-century ago. But I was saddened 1 when I read of the traffic accident that cost him his life. I In his quiet, modest way, he was a measurement of the great- ■ ness of America. He proved his willingness to sacrifice his own B life for his friends and his country. n Maybe he didn't agree with the war in Korea. But he ■ didn't cut and run when duty called. He was willing to give I everything he had for his country—and he almost did. W .<& .
