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 . . a a * 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.

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? .. . , e'..' ••1N{NMMYWwW�..Mf..W'..
