Reis VE aa a THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, Jenuary 25,1965 2] 'CHURCHILL'S INTERESTS You Name It, He Did It LONDON (Reuters)--Outside his amazing career' as states- man and politician, Sir Winston Churchill built up a high repu- tation in other and varied fields: Soldiering, painting, ee journalism, bricklay- Success in any of these fields might be counted a fairly satis- factory career by most men but, for Churchill, some of them were merely sidelines, Bricklaying he learned by building a wall in his garden at Chartwell, his country home mear London. He was made a -- of the Bricklayers' Un- on. Once, when he was laying a foundation stone at Bristol Un- iversity, he embarrassed offici- als by imsisting that the stone was not square. A carpenter's level was put on the stone and he was proved right. One of his favorite ways of relaxing was oil painting. Brit- ain's august Royal Academy made him an honorary member and his pictures have hung at several of its exhibitions. USED ON CARDS Each year he selected one of his pictures for his personal Christmas card, and a U.S. company bought the rights to some of his works for its greet- ing cards. Churchill's writing career be- gan in India when he was mak- ing his name as a young cavalry officer. Impatient for action, he got himself posted to the north- west frontier and took part in some heavy skirmishing. It was then he sent back his first stories to a London news- paper. A collection of these pieces formed his first book, The Story of the Malakand Field Force. Back from the front he eased his boredom by rattling off a novel in two months, Savrola, the tale of a revolution in myth- ical "'Laurentia." SERVED IN SUDAN Having tasted action and found it suited his tempera- ment, the young Churchill, then 24, used all the influence he could muster in England to get himself attached to the forces of Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener, fighting in the Sudan. Later, his dispatches from the Boer War, in which he was! captured and escaped, clinched | his reputation as a brave ad- venturer, vivid writer and a} "young man to watch." | Among his many books were| histories of the First and Sec-| ond World Wars and his four-| ; volume History of the English- Speaking Peoples. In 1953 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature--for most who win it the highest point of a career but, for Churchill, only one of many achievements, "Winnie" The Traveller | Avoided South Africa LONDON (Reuters)--Sir Win- ston Churchill was the world's most travelled statesman al- though he had crowded into his youth enough travel to sa- tisfy most men for a lifetime. In those early army days be- fore the turn of the century, he was an observer with Spanish forces in Cuba, a British unit in India and a British expedi- tionary force in the Nile. Then he went as a war cor- respondent to South Africa dur- ing the Boer War (1899 - 1900) and spent a month as a prisoner before escaping. He never re- turned to South Africa again. As prime minister in the Sec- ond World War his talks with Franklin D. Roosevelt and Jo- sef Stalin took him to ti United States, Canada, Mo- roceo, Egypt, Iran,.Russia and, finally, Germany itself. At Casablanca, Morocco, in January 1943, he and President Roosevelt produced the famous declaration that unconditional surrender would be exacted | The Yalta conference in the |Crimea came in February 1945, the Potsdam in July, During this last meeting, which decided the future of Germany after its, surrender, Churchill's place was) taken by Clement Attlee, whose jLabor party had just won the British general election. | Out of office from 1946 to 1951, Churchill visited American and, European cities, urging inj speeches that have become his-| toric the containment of com- munism, the creation of a united Europe and a European jarmy. | In Western Europe huge crowds greeted him as the great librator of the world from Naz- ism. Newspapers and radios of all these countries agreed that no other foreign statesman had ever been received with such) enthusiasm. | History does not record an- other man who, in so many) lands, could listen to so much delighted cheering -- meant for) from 'the Axis powers. him alone. | There's so much for you at EATON'S LEARANCE.

U.K. Press Pulls All Stop For "Great" Story -- LONDON (Reuters)--The life and death of Sir Winston Churchill today dominate the British press as few other stor- ies have done in history. For the first time in 50 years the London Times moved ad- vertisements off its front page to devote the entire page to photographs and stories of! "The Greatest Englishman of His Time." The staid and influential Times last carried news on its front page during the First World War. Since shortly after its beginning in 1788, it had filled page one with small ad- vertisements. The mass - circulation Daily Express published a head-and- shoulders photograph of Churchill, enlarged to full-page size, and enclosed it in a black box. All news was moved to in- side pages. Both The Times, and The Daily Telegraph carry 16-page supplements on Churchill's life story. The Daily Mail says in a) story that people gathered) around Churchill's deathbed) Sunday morning 'watched a} little miracle familiar to any-| one who has seen death. 'The| years,' said one of them, 'fell' away from his face, and he; looked again the way he looked| during the war'." | The independent Times says! Churchill died "sure of his majestic place in history and| leaves to his countrymen a) name inseparable from their| proudest and bravest memor-| ies." The Sun says that Churchill, during the dark hours of the Second World War, 'drew strength from the unconquer- able will of the British people, and they drew strength from him." | The Communist Daily Worker| says that, with Churchill's pass-| ing, 'the capitalist system lost one of its most tenacious and/ able defenders." i GLECOFF'S SUPERMARKET EARLY-IN-THE-WEEK BUY: GRADE "A" MED.
