"Some Chicken! Some Neck!" Was One Of "Winnie's" Best By THE CANADIAN PRESS 'Winston Churchill growled four words in the Canadian House of Commons on the aft- ernoon of Dec. 30, 1941, that have become part of the lexi- con of famous Churchill say- ings: "Some chicken! Some neck Three weeks after war had flamed across the Pacific and just five days after 2,000 Cana- dian soldiers became casual- ties with the fall of Hong Kong, the British prime minister de- livered in Ottawa a defiant re- view of the war's pregress. He previous perils after the fall of France. "When I warned them (the French) that Britain would fight on alone, whatever they did their generals told their prime minister and his divided cabinet 'in three weeks Eng- land will have her neck wrung like a chicken.' "Some chicken!" and when the burst of cheering died away: "Some neck" -- an ex- pression with special punch in the British sense of 'what nerve!" On that first of three war- time visits one of almost a lifelong series of trips to Can- ada between 1901 and 1954 Churchill linked Canadians and Britons in a celebrated trib- ute: NOT MADE OF CANDY "We have not journeyed all this way across the centuries across the oceans across the mountains across the 'Prairies because we are made of sugar candy."* That 'reference to conquest by travel and settlement was echoed in a personal recollec- tion on the eve of Dominion 1" Day, 1954, during his last visit to Canada. "] have been all over Canada in my time" he said in a na- tionwide radio broadcast then "and. I have most vivid pic- tures in my mind of many places from Halifax to Kicking' Horse Valley and further on to Vancouver where I caught a lovely salmon in the harbor in about 20 minutes." His first visit was a lecture tour as a young man of 26 a Inewly-elected member of the British Parliament fresh from adventures and renown as a war correspondent in the Boer War. His last visit before the Sec- ond World War was a private trip in 1932 when he met with the late R. B. Bennett then prime minister of Canada. MET NEAR CANADA Churchill had his first meet- ing with Franklin Roosevelt wartime president of the United States almost within view of Canada at a secret battleship rendezvous in Placentia Bay, Nfld., Aug. 9, 1941 -- slightly more than four months before his first official visit to Ottawa as prime minister on the last three days of that year. Two more meetings with Roosevelt and with them Ca- nadian prime minister Macken- zie King, were held at Quebec City in August 1943, and again in September ,1944 For the first Quebec confer- ence, where plans for the 1944 invasion of Normandy were made, Churchill, then 68, was accompanied by Lord Moran the physician who attended him at his last illness. After two days of meetings with Canadian government offi cials Churchill travelled by special train Aug. 12 to Nia- gara Falls and then to the Roosevelt country home at Hyde Park, N.J. He returned to Quebec Aug. 15. Roosevelt fol- lowed two days later and they lconferred with military chiefs for a week. ; WENT FISHING Churchill spent a week after the first Quebec conference trout fishing in the Laurentians with Canadian pulp and paper magnate Frank C. Clarke, a longtime friend who later en- tertained the British leader for two months in 1946 at Miami Beach Fla. after his electoral defeat by Labor. The 1944 meeting at Quebec, Sept. 11-16 mapped strategy Churchill's Been Hospitalized, Beaten Up And Knocked Down LONDON (CP)--Sir Winston Churchill, now in the grip of his most critical illness, has a record of illness and injury from boyhood to old age that everal times brought him near death, Twice previously in the last 12 years he suffered strokes. In 1958, he had pleurisy and pneu- monia. Little more than two years ago, he underwent surgery to mend a broken hip.

When Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery boasted, "I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't lie in bed, and I am fit," Sir Win- ston snapped, "Well, I do drink, I do smoke, and I do lie in bed --and I'm fit." -- ' WAS PREMATURE Churchill started life as a pre- mature baby, and there was considerable concern for sev- eral days after his birth whether he would survive. At age seven, he was badly beaten by a_ brutal school- master, developed double pneu- monia as a result and nearly died. This left him with a weak chest. At 19, he fell from a tree, ruptured a kidney, and was un- conscious for three days. But in a plane crash near London in 1919, -he escaped with only bruises While visiting New York in 1932, he was knocked down by a taxi, suffered several broken bones and later confided that he never had been so frightened in his life. In his most active years, as prime minister, he had no hard and fast rules for work. Often it was near dawn before he went to bed. The only routine he in- sisted on was his nap and two daily baths, the second after his afternoon sleep. LIKED BED Although he often awoke early giving orders, his great pleas- ure was to remain in bed until 9 a.m., or later if he could larrange it. He ate hearty meals, loved caramel custard for dessert, smoked cigars con- tinuously and had a passion for brandy. For 15 years or more, his health has been a source of worry and speculation.

On his departure for Wash- ington from that visit he told a cheering crowd: "IT am not going to say goodby. I am only going to say au revoir."

Formal Dress With A Hint Of The Yummiest Revolver JOHANNESBURG (AP)--In South Africa the dinner guest is apt to arrive with a pistol. This sort of thing has become part of the way of life in this racially segregated coun- try. Many of its white people fear attack. There are estimates that about half of the 3,000,000 whites have guns of some short and know how to use them. Tear-gas pistols and tear-gas cannisters are readily availa- ble. Women.are buying a new bras- siere designed to conceal a small revolver, Realistic plastic guns, firing a 'small steel pellet capable of maiming at close range, sell for 35 cents, There is concern as to what the future may bring. The de- termination of most whites to back 'he government's apar- theid, or segregation policy has been strengthened by various factors: Angry utterances Succeed, Or Else... By GORDON GRANT Canadian Press Staff Writer The Economic Council of Can- ada, headed by economist John Deutsch, laid guidelines for a continuance of Canada's pros- perity in its first report issued last week. The report, while not a blue- print for prosperity, said failure to meet its basic economic ob- jectives could be costly. The report was generally well received by the business com- munity, although it brought the usual amount of criticism that a report of this size and nature --80,000 words on how to achieve economic growth in the next five years--usually draws. Its main theme was expan- sion, particularly in employ- ment and gross national pro- duct. It said the economy must grow by 5% per cent a year to provide the 1,500,000 new jobs needed by 1970. GNP TO INCREASE By that time the GNP must be increased to $62,500,000,000 from $43,000,000,000 in 1963, and employment must rise to 7,983,- 000 from 6,364,000. The council, made up of 28 men, said unemployment must be held to three per cent of the labor force. The level now is five per cent. It said the effects of ad- vances in technology on work- ers in a buoyant economy would be less severe than in a period of sluggish economic growth. Generally, business leaders felt the report set objectives at- tainable through diligent effort. The report suggested govern- ment should pay costs of a dis- placed worker who cannot af- ford to move from a depressed area to one where he can find employment. Mr. Deutsch said the council was not suggesting moving workers around the country. The intent was to have work- ers move from one area to an- other in the same region. The report said the National Employment Service must be empowered to grant allowances to workers who must move from one locality to another for re- employment. One of the chief criticisms to the report was its three-per- cent unemployment figure. An executive said Canada should not be satisfied until there is full employment. against South Africa's race pol- icies at the United Nations, in- effective sanctions aimed at breaking down this country's apartheid 'barriers, and scat- tered acts of sabotage within South Africa. MOST INEFFECTIVE Under Prime Minister Hen- drik Verwoerd and Justice Min- ister Balthazar Vorster, archi- tect of this country's stringent security laws, most would-be African nationalist lead- ers, saboteurs and white agita- tors are either in jail or other- wise rendered ineffective. Many whites with liberal leanings have been placed un- der house arrest. Others have fled from the country to escape the long arm of Vorster's secur- ity police. Last year's sabotage inci- dents and disclosures at sabo- tage and anti-Communist trials have made white South Afri- cans increasingly secur- ity - minded. Many politicians and military leaders now are looking toward the borders of this republic and viewing the possible future threat from nearby independent black states, some of which harbor and train black saboteurs and agitators, Behind a growing defence force, by far the strongest be- low the Sahara, the white civil- ian population is being encour- aged to participate in the coun- try's massive defence program. Every year 16,000 South Af- rican youths don uniforms and start a nine-month period of military training. Thousands of civilians have joined the national survival plan, which trains them in free- fighting, first aid and ambu- lance work. One survival pam- phlet depicts a pretty pig-tailed girl with the caption "my sur- vival depends on you." The survival plan provides for the evacuation of civilians from war-threatened areas, air-raid shelters, information about nu- clear attacks, self - protection and emergency services to as- sure the survival of civilians in the event of war and other na- tional disasters. Most South African cities have an active police reserve force. Numeroug private schools teach various forms of judo and self-defence. A com- bat school instructs civilians in the art of killing by knife, pistol and hand, Women's pistol parties are be- coming almost as popular as the weekly bridge parties. Jo- hannesburg's latest club under- takes mass pistol training for men and women as a Saturday afternoon recreation. Some schools have added an extra subject to their curricu- lum--rifle practice for boys and girls. Vorster says: "Instigators who talked about a takeover of South Africa in 1964 have found that this nation will not be taken over, We will not sit back and watch our an- aihilation, "There are many nations plotting South Africa's destruc- tion. who would attempt to achieve it, if only they had the power. We know our enemy well and, if the need arises, will give a thorough account of our- selves." YOUNG STUDENT CALGARY (CP) Randy Cromb of this city knows his alphabet. His mother, Mrs. A. F. Cromb, says there's noth- ing unusual about it--except that her son is only 20 months old. "There's nothing excep- tional about Randy," she says.
