into bed. And he has his breakfast,

selected mail and dispatches. And

war effort he had a weakness to-

and associates. He found it verv
difficult to bring himself to remove
them even when he knew they we're
falling him. The second weakness
was the one the secretary touched
on. his penchant for playing general
himself. 1t was felt that he might
be too much of cavalry officer and
have too little of the technical
knowledge so important in a techni-
! cal war.

fire, walked a step or two, came
back and sat down-talking all the
time. Finally he looked up at the
clock on the mantle and said, "I
am afraid I have to go now" We
walked out together to his secre-
tary's Office.
In the middle OF our conversa-
ton. an alert had been sounded.
The sirens had gone off at the per-
tinent moment when I asked
him: What are you going to do
with this war after you have won
it?" When we got in the secretary's
office Mr.. Churchill said, very firm

mind at all" Mr.. Churchill said,
mo. No. You are not to 90 out
until we've found out where that
plane is. While you are here you
are in my charge and you will do
as I say"
He told the secretary to call up
and get report. He said to me,
They know very we'll where this
house Is and they keep trying to
hit it. They put one not very far
away once" The secretary and I
stood awkwardly. He said, Good

said. Il would like you to know that

The planes turned out not to be

chatting with his secretary. He was
a dark. slim young man in his mid

secretary to Mr.. Chamberlain before
he was secretary to Mr. Churchill.

lar in this country and he said, "Ah,
that's a pity, 1 think he was very
much misunderstood" When he
said was I remembered that had
learned the day before that Mr..
Chamberlain was dying.
He said, Il have never known a
mind as brilliant as Mr.. Chamber
lain's. 1t was unbelievably quick
and clear, incisive"
I turned the conversation back TO
Mr.. Churchill. I asked the secre-
tary if he would tell me Mr..
Churchills routine because I said I
was interested in how a man ran a
war. The secretary said, He has an
enormous amount of energy, YOU

Churchill that has not been empha-

it as being on a side street just off

LET'S HAVE MORE
PUBLIC EXPRESSION

What do our readers think about pub
lie questions, and subjects discussed IN
these editorial columns? 1t used to be
that newspapers were flooded with writ
ten comments by the public at large, on
all subjects of current interest. Nova
days, that habit has fallen into the dis
card for some unaccountablC reason, al
though correspondence Is to be greatly
desired
Ii is true that in metropolitan commune
ties many newspapers still print from
day To day various letters from their
readers. We wish more folk here in I'M
peral valley would send us such letters.
We will find room TO print them on this
page.
Such expression is a healthy habit. Ii
gives the commentator opportunity TO
express his opinion. 1t tells his friends
and others what he thinks. 1t stimulates
others to think and act. Discussion is
good for the soul and mind and is the
foundation Of democracy, in that 1t is
the exchange of opinion.
Often people say Pm no good at
writing. You will be surprised how ef-
fectively YOU can state your case, if YOU
will sit down and try. Don't be baShful
If you want something on which to eX-
press yourself permit us to suggest: Re

delay in its accomplishment?

ONE MANS CENSORSHIP

One mans meat, we are told in an old
proverb, is another mans poison.
It's little like that with censorship.
Ask any man whether he believes radio
or press ought to be censored Ninety
nine out of 100 will say, "No" But a
lot of them mean, NO. except for the
things I'd like to have cut out"
Letters to the Federal Communications
Commission show to perfection this quirk
of the human mind. \ constant stream
of letters demand that this or that poll
tical candidate. this or that comedy team,
this or that commentator. be barred from
the air forthwith Of course the commits
sion replies that it has no power of CEN
sorship, and tries to forget it.
The odd thing is that probably not one
in 10 of those people realizes that he
is advocating censorship. To him, CEN
sorship means barring the things ne
wants to hear. Barring the things he
doesn't like is -Well-Why, good gosh,
that's censorship, too. isn't it.

SUMMER WARNING
Nevada State Journal (Reuo)

The silly season is here, the season
when human beings go out into the noun
tainS and countryside and throw lighted
cigarette butts into dry grass or leaves,
when heavy picnic lunch is the prelude
to an icy plunge, when vacationists hurl
themselves vacationward at death-defy-
ing speeds on the public highways, when
uninstructed children and adults sit hap
lily among slumps of poison ivy, when
in short-the great outdoors tempts peo-
pie to all kinds of folly.
1t may be true that the majority Of
accidents happen in the home, but sum-
mer outings provide a long list of casual
ties each year. There is hope, neverthe-
less, that an active educational campaign
can remove many hazards caused by care
leSsness and lack of understanding of
the rules of the road.
Perhaps it is too much to hope that
for the balance of the summer common
sense will temper hot weather enthus-
iasm. But it is perfectly possible to en-
JOY the good things of summer without
taking foolish risks.
