AS it turned out the audience
didn't sing at all. Instead, they
stood on their seats and yelled
as the familiar figure in a blue
spotted bow tie moved down the
center of the hall.
The first impression was one
of a terribly tired, feeble old
man. He walked slowly with a
faint smile on his face. He looked
confused and had difficulty
mounting the steps to the plat

Sitting between Mr.. Soames
and daughter. Mary Winston,
Sir Winston slumped in his seat
with eyes closed through the
opening speeches.
The impression was different,
however, when he began speak
ing. It is possible that we were
carried away by the mood of
the occasion, but 1t struck us as
one of the best political speecnes
we had ever heard.
Speech Pure Churchill
From beginning to end it was
pure Churchill, filled with thun-
dering phrases, twinkling asides
and long, seemingly aimleSs di-
gressions that somehow always
ended up neatly and happily ex-
actly as they were supposed to-

one point, that Mr.. Attlee has

called him a piebald. I rather
like both of these animals, al
though I must say our relations
are normally on a more agree

There was conviction in his
plea for the Tory cause and
poignancy in his hopes for a
four-power conference. Sir
Winston observed that he had
long sought such a meeting and

it might produce he did not add

There may be some who doupt
the political value of Sir Win
ston to the Conservatives at this
point and wish he would limit
his public appearances. The
audience at Bedford, however
felt differently. Judging from
the applause in the hall and from
a crowd of 1000 who stood out
side, the words found their mark
It is unwise to make predic-
tions in the curious kind of elec-

one Of the reporters.

Mr.. O'Brien said it was a large

thought he had better not name

reporters seemed disappointed.
We finally caught up with the
British election last night in a
town called Bedford, some so
miles from the city. A crowd
that turned out to hear Mr..
Churchill may not have been a
typical election crowd and the
speech which Sir Winston de-
hvered in support of his son-in-
law, Christopher Soames, was
certainly not a typical election
speech. But it was still great
show.
The people, they told us, had
begun gathering in the rain in
early afternoon. They had waited
patiently as the rain, with the
natural perversity of British
weather, turned to snow toward
evening. BY nightfall the town
hall was jammed to its 1000
seat capacity.

How do stop payment on check?

During Know Your Bank Week
questions like these can not only

He advised everyone to ascertain

In addition to open houses, many

DELAWARE WING
Milford Squadron
LAsT MEETING:

LAST MEETING:
At the first meeting held in April
(the 12th), there were fifteen
ACTIVE members in attendance.
These members were the usual
"Ole reliables" that have been
carrying" the local Squadron in
relation to Search Missions, CAP
functions, and organization of the
various CAP posts. Sure, we need
members; but just to have a name
on an application blank is no good
unless that name" comes to the
meetings. If you have lost interest
in the SquadrOn's functions in the
past, why not come to our next
meeting-yOu will find that the
interest and morale of the Squad
ron has been steadily building up
to a point where now it can hold
it's own" with some of the other
units. But, just to be holding your
own is not sufficient. To better our
selves we need more active mem
! bers and YOU may be one.
There were three visitors who
stopped in at last Tuesdays meet
ing, namely: Jim COady, Dave
! COady and Jack Willis. These young
men are teen-agers who show an
interest in CAPS Cadet program.
Glad to have you fellows stop by.
Jack Webb was appointed Com
mOndant of Cadets Tuesday night
and will start to organize his Cadet
program. Two films were shown at
the meeting, one concerning the
use of radio in relation to cross
country flights, and the other con-
cerned CAA flight regulations.
NEXT MEETING:
The next meeting of this Squad
ron will be on Tuesday evening
April 26. at 1880, Second Floor OF
the Community Building. What's
say each member act as a recruit.
er and try to bring in one new
member at least.
