The 147 men and 3 women correspond- ents approached up a ramp the tbree men seated on the terrace, President Roosevelt, Mr. Chur- chili and Mr. King. Here Miss Aitken learned there was no chivairy amang maie news hawks; they eibowed the women aside ta get intd front row posi- tions. But Miss Aitken was able ta capture the essentials that peo- ple want, a word picture of the persanalities of the great. She told of Roosevelt, distin- guished in appearance, at ease with cigarette in a long bolder, sof t spoken, genial, kindly, ami- able, a man who srniles much and Who spoke in the farniliar maniner of bis fireside chats. He was exact in his news and phrasing. In contrast was Churchill, pink cheeked, joweied, grirn iooking, flicking asb from bis traditional cigar. But bis blue eyes heid their twinkle. His first words were haiting as thougb groping for words. Then came the strik- ing phrases that have made hlm famous. With no notes hie thinks as be goes. His mannerisms be- tray in advance when be is about ta make some arresting statement and Miss Aitken quoted a pass- age from bis oratoiZy on the in- vasion of France ta highlight bier word picture. Overseas Trip The speaker went on ta de- scribe ber trip overseas to report the Engiisb Conference in Lon- don and to tel of the beroism and fortitude of the British peopies. The Atlantic trip was by convoy of wbich one sbip was torpedoed. It was May and the Engiisb coun- tryside was beautiful in contrast ta drab Liverpool. Measuring the change that bad taken place in ber former visit in 1938, Miss Aitken found the people grown shabby, crabby, weary but stili grim and determined. Everytbing was rationed and all were regi- mented ta war's requirements. Severe penalties were laid for slightest infractions of wartime orders.

Such the leavening influence of war. L The task to which Miss Aitker was aýssigned in Britain was to interview notables and people and supply a daily column for the Telegram. She described the cir- cumstances which made the job both interesting and difficuit. With cablese at 12c per word, correspondents were hard put to it in getting news of real value. But she described interviews with Commonwealth Prime Ministers, Curtin of Australia, Fraser of New Zealand and a brief view of General Jan Christian Smuts of South Africa. Commonwealth Misters Her description of Curtin with his strident voice, direct methods and Anzac shrewdness in paârry- ing leading questions was a nmas- terpiece. Fraser, she found col- oriess, sincere, kindly but so care- fui of his news that hie depended entirely on prepared manuscripts. Smuts, a striking figure, always erect, always in uniform, was aloof in regard to intervtews but an inspiring and commanding figure among overseas troops. His Power was shown when, asked to address encamped i n v a s i o n troops, hie created emotional en- thusiasm with the simple state- ment: "It's coming boys, I prom- ise you it's coming." Cliffs of Dover Miss Aitken concluded with a word picture of her visit to the Cliffs of Dover, with their under- ground catacombs that housed the People remaining and the instru- ments capable of instant warning to every part of England. For more than five years these people have lived amidst appalling noise, slept underground amidst most rneagre surroundings and yet stood to their tasks. Theirs was the spirit of Britain that defeat- ed invasion and endured through :0 ultimate victory.

To protect that dollar, we must realize now, the dangers of careless, unnecessary buying! We must buy only what we need-never buy two where one will do! Wýe must flot evade rationing or price control, or deal in black markets.
