The dead man, Alex McIntyre of London, 32 years of age, had been registered et the hotel for a week previously and had been selling the Book of Knowledge• in this district. it is said that on Sunday when he failed to make an appearance little was thought of it, but on Monday when repeated calls on his room tele- phone went unanswered and as ho had not been seen, the door was forc- ed and his lifeless body was found hanging from the bedroom door. Coroner Dr. J. T. H. Robinson was called, but he deemed that an inquest was not necessary, Local and pro- vincial police also made a thorough investigation of the case.

We were reminded of the old saying the other day when we went to see Mr. Michael Meikle- john. Mr, Meiklejohn is a Drama Consult- ant for the Physical Fitness Branch of the Department of Health and Welfare, working in conjunction with the Community Programs Branch of the Ontario Department of Education. under the sponsorship of the Lake Huron Zone Recreational Council. That is, if we got it all straight. Read- ing over the last sentence, we are in- clined to doubt it. Anyhow Mr. Meiklejohn was in town. last week conducting a course in dramatics for all of the above or- ganizations, branches and sub-branch- es, Thinking that there should be a story somewhere behind all that non- enclatuke, we joined him at breakfast in the Brunswick. Perhaps, we thought, we could get a real good ostf necaoar on the Canadian Theatre or lack Not being the type of journalist who whips out a notebook and fires ques- tions in bursts of three, we tried to ease into the subject without too much of a jolt, We talked about Canada, and Mr. Meiklejohn, who by his ac- cent, is obviously British, told us of his impressions. We asked him about the territory he covered for the de- partment, and were informed that it embraced the whole of Canada. He informed us that he had this spring been out to British Columbia, and we asked him how he liked Victoria. We can see now that is where we made our mistake. Mr. aleikiejohn told us what ho thought of Victoria, and it wasn't- very much. He said that it was pseudo-English, with which we were inclined to agree. It was just a short step from the psuedo-England of Vic- toria to the real England, and first thing we knew we were talking about Blighty, a place we got to know slightly some years back during the course of a conducted European tour, as guest of the' Canadian government. We discussed various points of in- terest in England from the military point of view and from there the con- versation wandered to the Continent. Mr. Meiklejohn, although living in Canada at the outbreak of war, had returned to England and enlisted in the British Army. After the usual tour of duty at home, he had been shipped out to Africa with the Fifth Army, landing in a blaze of glory on a North African beachhead near Algiers, After the North African campaign, he had been in on the follow-through in Sicily and Italy. We got to talking about the Italian affair. Ile asked us if we'd been in Piedmonte d'Alife, a place in which we have fond recollections of doing nothing (ot as close to nothing as the army was likely to permit) for two solid months. We can remember see- ing eight shows in one week in that spot—one day there was a movie AND live entertainmentoWe got to talking about all the odds-and-sods in that campaign, the Greeks, the Poles, the Ghurkkas, the Canadians. We dis- cussed the Goums, French colonial troops, who received a pittance in pay and a whacking great bonus for human care, they brought back-sup- posedly of German origin. Mr. Meiklejohn told us of his ex- periences in Yugo-Slavia, He went over there on some sort of aid-to-Tito proposition towards the end of the war. Got along fine until there was a row with the Yugo-Slays and its still going on) over the city of Trieste. 1Vir. Mieklejohn recalls that relations on his sector were rather strained at the time, and for a while they won- dered if they'd get out intact. lie told us of his stay in 'Venice, a place we never did get to see, of some of his experiences in the Greek cam- paign and in other places in the Bal- kans.
