Abbott Phone 221,4255 From Britain came an un- precedented rumbling in the atmosphere. No, it wasn't thunder. Not real thunder, anyway, though it sounded mighty like it. It was made up of two things; great men turning in their graves; and a vast groan of disgust and despair from sev- eral million ghosts. If you listen carefully, you can even distinguish some of the individual voices in this con- tinuing thunder of protest from the nether world. Surely that rasping growl be- longs to Sir Winston Churchill. Poor old chap. Barely laid to rest when something like this comes along to destroy his hard-earned peace. Doesn't that angry bellow be- long to Sir Francis Drake? Could that bull's roar of rage be anyone but Henry the Eighth? Surely that booming of blank verse is John Milton? And wouldn't that howl of anguish be Rudyard Kipling? Local pair hospitalized snarl of the Doke .of Welling- ton and the outraged holler of one-eyed Horatio Nelson, And there's a trip, It sounds much like the pontifical tones of Archbishops Cramer, Rid- ley anti Latimer, martyrs three, Gruff Gladstone and dapper Disraeli, roaring protest, are in tune as they never were alive. I'd bet money that female squeal, rising above the others, belongs to Good Queen Bess, hurtling down the halls of five centuries, as she rages, "Namesake! Child! Elizabeth! flow could you?" Methinks that magnificent bell-toned baritone with the shudder in it could belong to none other than The Bard, sob- bing in sorrow and frustration, "Is this a Beatle which I see before me?" There. It's out. I knew the suspense was killing you. Yes, the great ones of Britain's glor- ious heritage have good reason for their celestial storm of Indignation. The Beatles were awarded the M.B.E. (Member of the Order of the British Empire). Yes, to this depth of depra- vity have sunk the ancestors of those giants who took on the Spanish Armada, the Pope, the French, the Germans, who clob- bered natives all over the world and established peace and good trading conditions, who defied single-handed the great tyrants Napoleon and Hitler. (Well, al- most single-handed). Don't quail like that, old chap. Don't rip off your Victoria Cross or your D.S.O. and throw it in the garbage. Chin up. Have a stiff drink. You British have always been able to muddle through. You may even muddle through this one. But it will write finis to the once-mighty British Empire. And perhaps it's best this way, after all. The Empire was shrinking like a two-dollar all- wool sweater. If you couldn't end with a bang, be satisfied with a snicker. Biddulph school fetes graduating class Mr. and Mrs. William Berry- hill, 74 and 75 of Market St. Lucan, are now patients in Stratford General Hospital fol- lowing a car accident Saturday on Concession 12 of Downie Township, three miles north of St. Marys.
