President Dwight David Eisenhower
GENERAL OF THE ARMY, SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE ALLIED POWERS
Dwight Eisenhower never held political office before becoming President. Being that he was a military hero, he won the election with a message of Peace.
"The United States never lost a soldier or a foot of ground
in my Administration. We kept the Peace."
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired,
signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,
those who are cold and not clothed." - EISENHOWER
THE KEYHOLE GARDENS
Here is an article from the BBC about a new style of farming in South Africa.
...In what has become known as "Keyhole Gardens". They are round gardens of about two metres in diameter and raised to waist-height to make them easy for the sick and elderly to work.
Inside, the garden-beds are layered with tin cans, mulch and ash which together provide the nutrients to make the gardens extraordinarily productive.
Ntsie Tlali from Care, the non-governmental organisation behind the gardens, believes they are revolutionary.
Lesotho sits on a high plateau and has a short growing season, yet the gardens have proved productive year-around.
"As you can see, (Mahaha's family) has three keyhole gardens and that's more than enough to supply all 10 of them
with all the vegetables they need, and with some left over to sell. It's changed their lives."
Because they are protected by the stonework, the rich soils are safe from erosion.
They retain moisture far more effectively than land farmed by traditional farming methods, and they are compact enough
to turn the tiniest plot of land into productive agriculture.
'Food is life'
Mahaha says they have also transformed the family's diet: "We're growing so many things,
from beetroot to spinach, onions, tomatoes, carrots - everything."
