The commander-in-chief, Gen. PERSONALITY PARADE Another former errand-boy is a Brit­ ish Cabinet Minister. . He is Herbert Morrison, who as Minister for Home Security also controls the police force. His father was a policeman. A great organizer, Mr, Morrison was chairman of the London County Council for some years until he joined Mr. Churchill’s Cabinet last Spring. When distributing prizes recently at his old school, he confessed to the boys that he never won a prize at school. “The only thing I received,” “was a certificate for religious know­ ledge, and I am bound to admit that it ought never to have been given to me,” * * * A “CONCHIE” LAST WAR! Dur­ ing the last war, Herbert Morrison was a conscientious objector, and the story is told of him that after Com­ pulsory Military Service passed the Blouse of Commons a few months be­ fore the present war began, he dashed into the lobby bar of the House and said to the barmaid: “Give me a drink quick, and may God forgive me, I’ve just voted for Conscription." A bulwark of the British Labour Party for many years, he is no theor­ ists, and he has no love for Commun­ ism. Blunt and direct, he “pulls no punches.” When Birmingham was badly bombed, Morrison made two quick visits to the town. The first time he inspected the damage and looked over the civil defences; the se­ cond time he “fired” the local fire chief and his assistant, and replaced them with two men he brought with him from London. * « * A REBEL AT THIRTEEN! In a Welsh village some 65 years ago, a 13-year-old boy stood up in school and defied the combined anger of his schoolmaster, an Anglican clergyman and the village squire, The Anglican was doing a “spot of catechisming”, supported by the oth­ ers, whereas the little Welsh boy was a resolute Noncomformist, as well all his schoolmates. Alone among his class, however, the rebel stood up res­ olutely for his principles. The small boy was David Lloyd George, Britain’s brilliant Great War Premier, and this schoolroom encount­ er was the first of many bitter battles he was to wage. ♦ * ♦ RESEMBLES CHURCHILL Winston Churchill has said of him that “no man since Cro’mwell or Chatham has left his mark more deeply upon the life,fortunes and laws of the Brit­ ish people.” And it is interesting to compare these two War Premiers, both .giants of endeavour and inspir­ ation to their countrymen in a crisis. Hitler, in “Mein Kampf”, described Lloyd George’s war-time speeches as "psychological masterpieces.” W e don’t know what Hitler calls Winston Churchill’s war-time speeches! But we do know how invigorating and in­ spiring they are.. * * * GRUMBLES' FOR A LIVING! Here’s the story of a London man who earns a living by going round the city finding fault with everything. And it’s quite true. One day he went into a big tea shop and found that the shape of the tea­ cups they used was clumsy. It was impossible to drink out of them with­ out spilling the tea. So he wrot.e to the company about it and the cups SCIENCE and technological progress have wrought wonders in the realms of transportation, communication and industrial engineering. The ease and speed of travel by car, and now aeroplane, the practical elimination of space by telephone and radio and the convenience and comfort of elec­ tric lights and electrical household appliances are worth-while achievements towards the more abundant life. In keeping with this progress is the contribution of the implement manu­ facturer toward lightening the labor and increasing the efficiency of the farmer. Farming has also been transformed. All too little recognition in this respect has been taken of the tremendous advances in farm tractors. In design—more practical and attractive—with the ease of starting and operating of an automobile, operating at low cost, making possible astounding reductions in the cost of certain farm operations, and with greater power, at prices which put them within the reach of even the smaller farmer. This more tractable and flexible source of power revolutionizes farming practice, eliminates the back-breaking work of days gone by, and makes . it possible, in many instances, to operate gainfully even under existing difficult conditions. MASSEY-HARRIS COMPANY LIMITED BUILDERS OF GOOD FARM IMPLEMENTS SINCE 1847 were changed. Upon another occasion (in pre­ blackout days) he saw that a big sign in the West End of the city was not working properly. He told the com­ pany owning it that anyone standing on the other side of the street could not read it. It was changed. It was a life-long habit with him. If ever he saw anything was wrong he used to write to the owner about it. When he fell out of a job, he suggest­ ed that if his criticisms were of any use, he should be paid for them.
