One Man Gives Orders TO Winston
Churchill; He's Personal Guard
ASSIGNED 10 Protect British Boss

acteristic of Inspector Thompson is
his eyes. They are exceptionally
piercing and when he is on the
Job they are restless until they
have encompassed every detail OF
the scene about him.
7 have often noticed the gen.
uine affection MI Churchill shows
for Inspector Thompson in many
little ways. In turn. he under
stands and loves Mr.. Churchill. He
never flatterS him and is not in the
least in awe OF him. Mr.. Churchill
has had many occasions to trust
Thompson's wisdom and devotion
and generally obeys his orders
without 4 murmur.
In ADDITION TO guarding Mr.
Churchlus life. Inspector Thomp-
son does a hundred and one other
things for Mr.. Churchill. He fire.
Quently sees that the book MI
Churchill is reading is always with
III reach. that he gets to his ap-
pointments not more than half
hour late. finds his eyeglasses when
they are missing, fills his fountain
pen. and mikes his highballs.
Toward other members OF the
Churchill family Thompson seemed
to me TO have a quantity fatherly
attitude. Mr.. Churchills children
regard him as q member of the
family. When they were young they
would take their childish troubles
to Thompson. who could be relied
upon always to listen sympathetic
ally and who had a gentle way OF
solving the problems presented to
him. THOMPSON regarded the
Churchill children with Just as
much pride and affection as he die
his own son and daughter.

are carried in memory back through
the years to the early days OF men

looked after the c.ty's mail facilities
for d fuII century. Those who have
lived only ia more recent times re-
call with pleasure and satisfaction
the acqualntances they can claim.
No branch f government service
touches as many people as often as
does the post office. Many of US
have business there every day and
several times each day; others less
frequently; but all of us at least now
and then.
We demand speed and efficiency OF
government, and are willing to
pay for it and do pay for it. When
we fail to get it, We complain and
fuss. But in spite Of it all, Amcri-
cans have the fastest and best or
gained postal service in the world,
as they do other governmental func-
tons. It is one of those marve1s of
a free people. and which only a free
people can fashion and support as is
done in this great nation.
Our people owe much to these
twenty-one citizens of this and form
