D, Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt's social secretary. Of course I didn't know the Roosevelts but now that they are both deceased, I see absolutely no reason for dredging up the past the way certain reporters seem to, do. I know these little intimacies come to the fore when some well-meaning but money-grabbing soul gets a hold on a personal diary of some famous person but I believe it is one thing to publish them in a book and something entirely different 'to print them in every daily newspaper across the nation, the continent and maybe even the globe. And that's where the reporter comes in, Very likely, some itchy reporter thought this smear about poor Eleanor and F. D. would make good copy. It did. I read it with fervor, didn't I? But I don't call that responsible reporting. It is just filling a space with the dead's past mistakes — charges which can never be admitted or denied by the persons involved — and I think that is dastardly dumb. The high of ignorance. What is it with dead presidents in the USA anyway? Take John F. Kennedy, for instance, the man reputed to be the finest statesman this side of the world has known in many long years. He is tragically shot down in the streets of an American city and all the press can do now is to dig up all the filth and scandal they can find about JFK, his family, his lovely widow and yes, even the dead man's innocent children. Not long ago, I picked up a movie magazine which promised "intimate photos" of Jackie and Arie Onassis inside. Okay, so I'm interested, right away. Come on, folks. Tell me you would be different if you had the same magazine on your lap and all the time hi the world to read it. How in the wide world the widow of Jack Kennedy and the widow of Robert Kennedy, for that matter, become subjects for movi eland's greasy, grimey goon-ledgers, I wouldn't have a clue but they have. And inside the magazine I held were snapshots of Jackie and Arie on their private beach at their private island in their own private part of the world. Some fool with a telephoto lens on his camera had spied on the pair from a boat anchored off Scorpio or whatever that island is called, and had photographed the Onassis' as they swam together, sat on the beach together and horsed around together the way most normal married people would. Now tell me that's responsible reporting.... any more than it was responsible reporting to publicize the fact, after all these years, that F. D. Roosevelt was having an affair with another woman, Just what purpose does that knowledge serve now, except to discredit the memory of a man who died a couple of decades or so ago, It really doesn't matter to me that F. D. Roosevelt kissed lovely Lucy Merver on the sly in the Roosevelt pantry and that Eleanor behaved like the average woman scorned when she discovered the hanky-panky by asking for abstinence or divorce. So what? The same thing goes on every day in all parts of the universe and everybody chalks it up to human nature. I like to remember F. D. Roosevelt for the contribution he made during his years as president of the United States of America.,.. I think of his wife as a fine gentle lady who was the epitome of First Ladies in that country. I'd never even heard of the lovely Lucy who caught Frank's eye, had you? Let the dead rest in peace, I say. Put a tighter rein on the wonder writers who think that to be appealing, a story has to be full of lust and incest .... and to be safe, it has to concern men and women whose contributions to society will never be forgotten, though they are deceased. St, James Church, Middleton, was filled to capacity on Sunday, This was a special service as the rector, the Rev. E. J. B. Harrison, the incumbent rector since 1957, preached his farewell sermon. There were also dedications in loving memory of two valued members who died last year, Mrs, Eva Beeves and Mr. Fred Middleton. Thus the congregation was augmented by many friends and relatives and members of sister parishes to honour these occasions. The dedication service was most impressive as the rector progressed from • one memorial to the next. Dossal altar curtains and a replacement window were dedicated in loving memory of Mr. Middleton who died Dec. 23, 1970. They were a gift of his wife and family and members of the Taylor family. There are still some funds remaining in this memorial fund for future use. A similar window was dedicated in loving memory of Mrs. Eva Beeves, by her sons, John and Edward beeves. The church was decorated with seasonal flowers for this occasion and a large basket of gladioli was placed there in loving memory of Gordon Smith, who died August 31, 1970, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and their family, Mr. Harrison's text for his farewell sermon was from the sermon on the Mount: "Enter ye at the straight gate — and few there be who find it". Mr. Harrison spoke of reaching the age of retirement so this was not only his farewell to this parish BY MARY McILWAIN Mr. and Mrs. Bill Dale attended the County Council Ladies Night held at Wingham on Wednesday evening.
