A Woman's Viewpoint on This and That
By MBA
Ale" unscheduled item on the
Old Home Week program is one
that will take place early Satur-
day evening, August 5 . It
, is an organ recital to be held in
Wesley -Willis United Church...
i Mrs. Morgan Agnew will be at
the organ and she wilt be assist-
;' ed by Robert Persan, violinist,
and other artists For those
,i who would find the barn dance
(scheduled for that evening) a bit
beyond their physical capacities—
' or for those who would like the
quiet enjoyment of music to start
off the Old Home festivities, it
•; should provide a delightful inter-
' lude . Any resident or guest
of the community is welcome to
this affair, which is being spon
cored by the Girls' Club of the
church ,.. A cup of tea will be
served to the guests from' outside
places and arrangements are be-
ing made to entertain the visit
ors to a personally conducted
tour of the church . The fol-
lowing Tuesday and Wednesday
mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m.
noon, the church also will be open
to visitors . .

OH, hum! These are the dog
.; days as far as writing a news-
paper column is concerned
There is little to write about
unless we stir ourselves both
mentally and physically — and
right now (this is sticky, humid,,
Monday evening) we don't feel
'like doing one thing — except
sit .
HOWEVER, we were feeling
,i somewhat more ambitious last
week and we brought home from
; the library Churchill's "T h e
Grand Alliance" . Now, we
had seen this large volume on
the library shelf for some time
and always put off taking it, as
long as there were some good
mysteries available . . . But last
week, we were desperate because
there were none of the newer
books available that we had riot
read It seems there are more
readers than ever using the lib-
rary facilities this summer .•
:r. * ,:
BUT getting back to the
"Grand Alliance", once we got
into it, we . wondered why we
had delayed so long in reading it,
because like its two immediate
predecessors and all of. Chur-
chill's works, It is fascinating
reading , ... It tells the story of
the war from the end of 1940 to
early in 1942, from Churchill's
own viewpoint . And it was
during this period that Churchill
had to show a fortitude and 'an
ability, seldom demanded of
and statesman in 'the history of
the world . . Those were the
days of not enough planes,
equipment nor men, when the
British were being defeated on
the desert, when thy were driven
out of Greece and Crete; when
they were bombed nightly at
home and when the convoys
bringing in supplies were taking
a beating to the extent of hund-
reds of thousands of tons
monthly ... To read his history,
of this period and his corres-
pondence, one can realize the
grandeur of the man, who kept
his finger on every phase of tife
war's development, and who was
constantly devising new methods
to overcome difficulties
THEN, with Russia's entry in-
to the war, Churchill gives his
readers a remarkable insight into
Stalin's attitude tohis new
allies From the beginning,
Britain diverted badly needed
tanks and planes, both from her
own production and from U.S.
supplies sent to Britain . The
Navy convoyed these to Russia,
often with great loss There
S'UMMERHILL',
Ladies' Club Meets
The July meeting of _Summer
(hill Ladies' • 'Club was held at
the home of Mrs. Charles Mer-
rill with 23 members and five;
visitors. present. The .meeting'
was opened with the singing. of
O. Canada followed by the re-
peating of the Lord's Prayer in
unison.
The minutes of the last meet-
ing were read and adopted. A
thank you note was received from
Mrs. Harold Lobb. , Articles were
received for the bazaar.
The programme/ consisted of
readings by Mrs. Clarence Ball
and Mrs. Glen Cornish. Mrs.
Keith Tyndall rendered a variety
of piano selections.
The next meeting will be held
August 9, at the home of Mrs.
George Mills, The lunch com-
mittee will be Mrs. Wes. Vodden,
Mrs. Charles Merrill, Mrs. Nor -i
man Wright and Mrs, Percy Gib-
bings The programme will be in
charge of Miss Dorothy Blake,
Mrs. Earl Blake, Mrs. E. Ellis
and Mrs. Chester Farquhar,
was little thanks for all this
Stalin kept howling for a second
front at a time when Britain
could not even properly supply
her awn small Middle East
army . And so it continues
until after the '11.5 defeat at
Pearl Harbour and the beginning
of 'a global war ,
S 5 *
AND in light .et 'today's events,
we cannot help pondering over
a phrase of Churchill's . , . When
asked by a friend how he could
support Communist Russia, he
replied that if the devil could
help defeat Hitler, he woula at
least mention him favourably in
the House of Commons , .. Well,
Hitler was defeated and as far
as the democratic World is con-
cerned, he is almost forgotten .. .
But how about this other chapple
with the cloven hoofs and the
horn tail who is on the rampage
throughout the world . . Who
is going to defeat him; Is
there some coincidence that both
seem to prefer red as a color? .. .
