Father Hears Son
Sworn Into Armv

twenty-five years rolled away for
1t. Norman E. Dupont recently
when he heard his 18-year-old son,
Norman Reese, sworn into the Unit
ed States Army Air Corps, taking
the same oath of allegiance that
1t. Dupont took himself in 1917
when he entered the service in
World War No. /.
The ceremony took place in Den
yer, Colorado, where 1t. Dupont
is stationed in the eye clinic at
LoWrie Field. In order that his
son might enlist, the fathers con-
sent was necessary, and up until
the time 1t. Dupont learned that
President Roosevelt had recon-
mended the drafting of 18 and 49,
year-old boys, he had refused his
consent. With that announcement,
however, he agreed to withdraw his
opposition.
DR.. Dupont was present as the
recruits were sworn in and the re-
cruiting officer asked him to make
a talk for the group, which he did,
beginning, Il guess you boys feel as
/ did 25 years ago"

LONDON, Oct. 23.-UPJ-Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt arrived in Lon
don late today and was met by
King George VI, Queen Elizabeth
and many other notables.
While the arrival of the First
Lady was supposed to be a strict
secret, word appeared to have
spread all over London, and thou
sands of persons lined the streets
around Paddington station to well
come her. Many American SOL
diers were in the crowd.
The throng cheered and shouted
as Mrs. Roosevelt stepped from the
train. She had arrived in Britain
earlier by plane, accompanied by
her secretary, Malvina Thompson.
The station platform was sur
rounded by barricade to keep back
the public and strongly guarded by
civil and military police.
Shortly before the train arriv-
ed gang of workmen nailed down
the famous red carpet-60 feet
long and 20 feet wide-upon which
all famous visitors to wartime Lon
don have first set foot.
The barricade was set up around
the carpet. The Union Jack and
the Stars and Stripes were draped
on the barricade.
The train arrived exactly on time
and stopped with Mrs. Roosevelt S
coach squarely at the carpet.
Mrs. Roosevelt was smiling as
she stepped from the train. She
wore long black coat, trimmed
with blue fox fur and a cherry red
hat, trimmed with green feathers.
KING GREETS VISITOR
King George, wearing the uni
form of a marshal of the Royal Air
Force, was the first to greet Mrs.
Roosevelt. After he had shaken
hands, the queen, wearing a coat
of black velvet with a black hat,
shock hands warmly and chatted
for a moment. For a few minutes
the king, queen and Mrs. Roosevelt
conversed while dignitarieS eddied
around them.
Mrs. Roosevelt did not curtsy to
the king.
II hope you left the President in
good health" the king told her.
The king then introduced her to
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden.
Among those at the platform were
Lieut.. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and
Admiral Harold r. Stark.
Photographers took pictures dur
ing the five minutes which Mrs.
Roosevelt spent at the train side.
She then entered a Car with the
king and queen and was driven off.
The queen greeted Mrs. Roosevelt
with these words:
Il am very pleased to meet you
