So off they go to the headquarters of the Weather Maker, riding on Eski’s sled, drawn by the three snowshoe rabbits--Frosty, Freezy and Frisky. “COMEIN,’ " Mister Weatherb pects "re always wekcome--rain shine!” “you' After Doc Dickery explains their Weatherbee ‘gfins: “Why sure I'll help! You can borrow all the clouds you need! Yessir!” By WILLIAM RITT joes a very ssage: “Call clouds! Calling all clouds! Report for duty at Mount Tannenbaum at the North Pole at once! This is official!” (To Be Continued) THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, December ‘21, 1954 “Jim Bob” Has Quite A Tear-Jerker To Tell Sympathetic Gls In Korea NAHA, Okinawa (“#—The GIs called him Jim Bob, he said. The Police called him Syngman Rhee.. He was just 11. Police picked him up for loiter- {ng near a military installation and this was his tearful story: He had been “orphaned on the battle fields of Korea.’’ Sympathet ie GIs had adopted him and brought him to Okinawa. He had worked as a hotseboy for them until they went home to the United States. Now he was homeless in an alien land. He even had forgotten the | Korean tongue of his fathers. All | he could speak was English — American style, It gushed out in| a stream. U.S. military officials urged that | he be permitted to stay on Okin- awa. Sympathetic immigration of- ficials made him a “prisoner at large” while they sought w. ays 0 save him from deportation, At this point, a distraught Japa- | nese showed up and identified Jim Bob Syngman Rhee as his way- ward son who had run away a month ago from his Okinawa home. The family had come from , Japan two years ago. And his teacher verified that the | lad had “an excellent command of English and also an excellent im- agination.” So “Jim Bob Syngman Rhee” isn’t going anywhere—except back to school.
