lar that of major general james wolfe the hero of quebec to some of those within the old land he is as well hero of westerham and today quaint quiet westerham in kent has provided another hero in the person of the right honourable winston churchill man of the hour man of our need chartwell manor borne of the prime minister of great britain lies less than three miles from quebec house and on sept 13th this year we found winston churchill upon that soil sacred to the memory of wolfe of quebec the hero of 1766 while one cannot write extensively of our wartime prime minister at the present time one may quote from an address given in london some time ago by miss dorothy thompson america s most famous columnist miss thompson in her address warn ed hitler that he is battling agajnit a man who had sbewn that in his vlens flowed the blood of the fighting marl- boroughs a man whose ancestors watchword was england john churchill first duke of marl borough like his descendant winston spencer churchill was the man in england s hour of need an hour when all europe was threatened by the world domination of one single man louis of france after the battles of blenheim of ramllles of oudcnarde and malpraouet thanks to the genius and indomitable courage of colonel john churchill england rose from being one of a dozen minor powers to find herself the leader of europe against a grand monarque once again we cry a churchill a churc hill as we battle against hitler and his myrmidons goering and the slnl ster goebells so we find today a man of kent treading the same paths of glory though in a different manner upon the same soli as that bad boy of kent who became the conqueror of canada james wolfe was born on january 2nd 1727 at westerham kent and was the eldest son of a distinguished idler major general edward wolfe his mother was henrietta daughter of edward thompson of marsden yorkshire as major general wolfe was on duty in spain at the time of the birth the boy was born at the vicarage a little way up the hill from quebec house wolfe spent his boyhood days up to his eleventh year at spiers as quebec house was called up to some period in the 19th century it la fitting that this historical home should have been purchased by a canadian the late mr j b learmont of mmt- treal in 1918 mrs learmont present ed the house to the national trust t le building had been standing for two hundred years or more when the wolfes went to westerham in 1728 though enduring many alterations i am glad to note that its former owner the late qol charles warde of squer- ryes court had restored to tt the lines of the original 17th century plan the three gables being replaced within one finds many pieces of interest relating to major oeneral wolfe collected and presented to que bec house by a o wolfeaylward esquire a great great nephew of oeneral wolfe the late mr wolfe aylward lived here for some nineteen years among the fine collection of pictures and old prints one may find many drawings and paintings of the canada of bygone days a bronze bust of wolfe after the marble by joseph wilton the sculp tor of the monument to general wolfe in westminster abbey is found with in the entrance hall the original is in the public archives at ottawa it may be recalled that wolfe at the age oi fourteen was give a conv mlsslon as second lieutenant in bis fathers regiment of marines and two years later he was actingadjutant at the battle of dettlgen where king george ii so distinguished himself in 1745 when wolfe was just elgh teen he lived up to his reputation as westerham s red headed bad boy of kent by refusing to carry out the commands of butcher duke of cum berland to shoot 5 wounded high lander praser of interlochy wolfe at this time aide decamp to general haw ley shoot the dog said hawley wolfe replied my com mission is at your disposal but i will not shoot him the 13th of septem ber 1759 on the plains of abraham wolfe died in the arms of one praser of lovat his body was wrapped with in a flag carried by the 1st cheshlres that same fateful day which now hangs within the cathedral at ches ter below the faded tattered flag is n panoramic view of the citadel as it appears today so miach fpr the wolfe of battles but as is natural to youth romance cam to soften the hardships of a soldletfirjhe after living down an unhappy engagement in his earlier j ears james wolfe at length found happiness in the love of a beautiful girl katherire lowlher a sister to the first earl of lonsdale the night before his death tin young general entrusted the miniature of his be irothed to his friend jervis afur ward lord of st vincent to return to his mother should an thing hip pen to him in his will he had dl rected that the picture be set in jewels to the cost of 500 and

and was dedicated by field marshall earl roberta in 1911 about the square where stands the figure in bronze of the hero oi que bev one finds strangely enough the same type of architecture as one sees in the citadel today the three storey buildings with highpitched gable roof suggest that view before the basilica in the market place on the brow of the hill in quebec clt possibly some of the returned men of kent who fought under wolfe in canada may have introduced this french influence this is merelj con jecture upon our part before we leave historic westerhnm we wind our way through

taking the step that will change their dress rrom civilian to khaki by the constant rumours and reports that the war will soon be over this and parental objection appear to be the main reasons why more girls and women are not joining the cana dian women s army corps many gms in civilian occupations or gra duates from school who are on the threshold of business careers are he sitant about joining because of the first reason because they think they may soon have to start on the hunt for a civilian job and the latter because hey figure they will be in the army but a short while and by joining thef will injure their chances of get ting a good positon for the post war years for those who advance this reason the army has but one answer and that tmr are thousands of recruits ne cesar
