“Goodbye, fellows!” calls Ronnie, and winks. “I’ll be seeing you soon!”
“Goodbye, Ronnie!” we shout after him, deciding right then and there that he’s a regular guy in the making.
That night, when my Dad finds where I’ve been he says, “How come?” and my answer is: “Oh, Mr. Turner just decided, if he didn’t let us use the hill, that everybody in town would think he was all wet....”
“I don’t quite understand,” my Dad replies, but that’s nothing—because no one, outside of our bunch, understands to this day.
YOUNG FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT
By
WAYNE WHIPPLE
A story to fascinate boys and girls of today must be realistic and true. Mr. Whipple was so eminently capable of writing this interesting narrative of our president because he is personally acquainted with the family, and has visited the White House on many occasions.
The story, although it deals with facts, is so worked up as to insure its being extremely interesting not only to children but to grown-ups as well.
