How the President Travels
This presidential car or limousine is over 21 feet long!
It’s exciting to see the President’s limousine
pass by.
Policemen in cars or on motorcycles lead the
way.
Secret Service men travel in the car in front of
the limousine. Another Secret Service car follows
close behind.
The President’s car has flashing red lights in
the grill. There are flags on the front fenders. At
night, tiny spotlights on each fender light up the
flags.
The President has more than one car. He has
the use of a fleet of them.
All presidential cars have heavy, bullet-proof
armor.
When the President travels outside of
Washington, D.C., a huge plane often carries an
armored car for him to use when he visits
another city.
A Secret Service man always rides with the
President. Another Secret Service man drives.
There has been one of these cars parked in
Plains, Georgia, recently. Jimmy Carter has the
use of these special cars, too.
Being President is a big job with lots of hard
work. But there are some good things about it.
Presidents never have to make plane
reservations. They never have to look for parking
places!

Amy Carter or Susan Ford?
By BETTY DEBNAM
Will 19-year-old Susan Ford continue
to live in the White House, or will
9-year-old Amy Carter of Plains,
Georgia, move in?
We will all know soon.
In some ways, the daughters are alike.
Both girls have pet cats. Susan has
one named Shan. Amy has one named
Misty Marlarky Ying Yang.
Both have three older brothers.
Both have a brother named Jack.
Susan’s brothers are closer to her
age. They give her advice, check out
her dates and give her lessons in
wrestling and football.
Amy’s brothers are much older. Her
closest brother in age is Jeff, who was
15 when she was born. Jimmy Carter
wrote in his book “... it is almost as
if she has four fathers. We all have to
stand in line to spoil her.”
Amy enjoys dolls, movies and ice
cream. Her favorites are lemon
custard and bubble gum. She likes
swimming and the idea that the White
House has a pool. She also likes
dancing, especially clogging.
Susan likes swimming and dancing,
too. She also enjoys tennis, skiing,
biking, horseback riding and doing
needlepoint.
Both girls are used to having
important fathers. Susan’s father was
already a congressman when she was
bom. Amy was only 3 when her
father became governor of Georgia.
Amy, who is in the fourth grade this
year, has already had a successful
career as a lemonade stand operator.
Susan is in college in Washington.
She is interested in a career in
photography. She hopes to
go to the University of Kansas and
work part-time as a press photographer.
Who wins the election next week will
decide who will be the next President’-
daughter. □Carter
