8 KOKOMO (Ind.) TRIBUNE Monday, May 14, 1951 Ophelia A. Everman Attains 100th Year On Mother's Day More Elated Over Slate Convention Of Her Church By KAY C. KUHNS Tribune Stall Writer Mrs. Ophelia A. Everman, 221 Conradt avenue, could have celebrated twice Sunday--once for Mother's day and once for "her hundredth birthday! Instead the fragile-appearing, sweet, little centenarian preferred to spend her day just as any other Sunday--listening to favorite religious programs, fondling her Bible and greeting friends who called.

Mrs. Everman, whose eyesight has failed and whose hearing not so good as it once was, declared herself "not half so excited about living to be 100 years in age aa about the church convention which will be held this week at the Main Street, Christian church." She feels tha.t many of her friends from all over the state will be attending the convention and will stop in to see her between sessions. "I have friends all over this country and in other parts of the world," she said. Mrs. Everman, after 100 years is still a of convictions She is also a woman with a large store of memories which she can pull up for discussion at the mention of a word.

She attributes her long life largely to diet but one can hardly meet her without feeling that a loving disposition and deep faith also had something to do with it. A woman who has voted every general election and most of the primaries since women were given the right to vote, Mrs. Everman is a staunch Republican. She remembers that the first political speech she heard was in the public square in downtown Kokomo with Gov. Oglesby of Illinois as speaker.

Since that day she has been a Republican without regret. She also expressed pride in being a "Hoosier" all her years. Born in Madison on May 13, 1851, Mrs. Everman was a small child when her family moved to this county. She has made her home in Kokomo for 35 years.

Her place on earth" she described as Bethany Park where she and her husband, the late A. M. Everman, had a cottage called "The Lotus" where they spent the month of August each year for a 40-year period. Life has been good to Mrs. Everman, she feels.

"We all have our ups and downs," she remarked, "but in my life the happiness has far outweighed the unhappiness." Describing her life as not difficult Mrs. Everman explained that she had never had to do any very hard work. Yet she has been mother to five children--all bearing three-letter names. Of the five children, two are still living: Ml CENTENARIAN Mrs. Opehlia Everman holds the which she considers one of her most cherished possessions.

The sacred Book was nearby while she received visitors Sunday on the occasion of her 100th birthday. She spent the day quietly at home with her two daughters, her favorite radio programs and friends who-came to wish her a happy birthday. Because of Mrs. Everman's limited strength, her family is asking thaf only a few callers come at a time to pay their respects. date, Mrs.

Everman's memories include life in the Indian country before this county was settled; schooling received in a little log cabin; days when ashes of corncobs were used for baking powder and settler's cabins were dark save when the door was open. She spoke brightly of by-gone Indian dangers in times when each home had a large barricade at the door. The bar was released by a string when the occupants wished to allow a person from outside to enter.

Senate To Work Out Plan For Election Probe Washington, May 14--(AP)--The Senate was called upon today to thrash out a disagreement which has been delaying an investigation into the 1950 senatorial campaign in Ohio.

Neither Senator Taft (R-Ohio) nor Joseph T. Ferguson, the Demotion next year. The editors opposed rat whom he defeated, requested Jenner for governor in 1948. Jenner was the principal speaker at the association's luncheon Saturday noon. He made no public comment on reports he will seek the nomination, and informed sources said he probably would remain silent until after the November 6 city elections.

But both his speech and action taken by the editors indicated they have patched up their differences. Claude Billings of Akron, named secretary of the association, told newsmen at Saturday's meeting: 'In 1948, Jenner was in the middle of his senatorial term. The situation is not comparable now, since he is completing his term as senator." Billings added that the IKEA's 1948 fight on Jenner was made not from a personality standpoint but as a "matter of principle." The G. O. P.

State committee met in connection with the editorial session and announced the party's 1952 nominating convention will be held July 2 and 3 in the state Fairgrounds coliseum. Jenner praised the IREA lor the investigation. And the pending YOUNG AMERICA Young America, May to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Catt 'at St.

It hinges upon granting Robert Murphy, Washington attorney nam ed to direct the campaign probe, exemption from a federal law which bars former government em- ployes from doing business with government agencies for two years after they quit the federal payroll. Such exemptions frequently have been granted for attorneys hirec do special work for congressional committees.

Chairman Hayden CD-Ariz) of the Senate rules committee won Senate approval- for exempting Murphy on May 4 but Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) has asked reconsideration of that vote and a decision is due to be made today. The decision to investigate complaints about the Taft-Ferguson campaign was made by a rules subcommittee on a motion by Sen Margaret Chase Smith (R-Me). Chairman Gillette (D-Ia) of the five-member subcommittee that has been investigating the last Senate elections told a reporter Senator Hayden recommended Murphy for the Taft-Ferguson inquiry. Gillette said that "while Senatoi Taft is not pushing for an investigation he has assured us he will cooperate." Both Democrats and Republicans in the Ohio Senate contest accused Reveal Secrets Di Automatic Pilot Cockpit By HOWABD W. BJLAKJESLEE Denver, May 14 (AP) Wind the leg: of a jet plane pilot as he bailed out at 25,000 feet, and sehpnds later his face was bruised as he fell through a cloud of ice particles.

But he landed safely with no other injuries. He was one of seven who have bailed out of crippled jets in the miraculous pilots seat that is shot out of the cockpit, with pilot still sitting- in it. A big cartridge shoots the seat like a gun. The other six were unhurt and landed safely. The story of "these devices just coming into use -and of newer ones expected soon in which the pilot can house himself after he lands was told to the annual meeting of the Aero Medical association today by Com.

R. Christy of the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics, Washington. Less than a month ago two jets collided in midair. One pilot shot himself out with the gun-seat and landed unhurt. The other chose to jump in the old-fashioned manner.

Part of the plane hit his head and killed him. Commander Christy said if that pilot had used the gun he almost certainly would have been alive and flying today. The commander said the navy is now working on a new one, which will save legs, the pain of ice grinding your face, or, it is hoped, any other discomforts. Without giving secret details, he said it is a capsule--something like a doctor's pill, with the flyer inside. It will be pressurized just like the plane.

It will be easier to shoot out. It will descend under a SMoot- diameter parachute so lightly that there won't be any injury on hitting the ground. It will float on water. On land the pilot can use it for a shelter. It will carry a radio for him to call for help.
