Page 8 WALTER LUCKMAN WRITES AGAIN OF LIFE IN THE BRITISH ISLES The Gazette Times' special British correspondent , wanerj Luekman, former resident of Heppner, writes frequently to friends here and this paper has in the past printed his letters which have been especially in teresting. The letter, reprinted below, was recently received by David Hynd. It is the greatest pleasure to write to you. Jack should receive a letter and card today for his birthday, how time flies, It doesn't seem very long to me since their golden wedding, next month it will be around again. I remember on the occasion of Old Jim Shaw's birthday he told me he was 73 and he remarked about the older you got the faster the time seemed to go. It surely does, there is more truth than poetry in the words of that Im mortal Hymn "Abide with Me Fast Falls The Eventide", life appears to me to be too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. We are one and all burdened with faults in this old World. On Saturday night we reard Winston Churchill speak over the Radio, it was very good, he is a gifted orator. Last night we saw the! flight of the Comet Over Africa, to mark the opening two days ago of the World's first Jet Airline Service, in a DeJIavilland air liner flying eight miles high, at nearly 500 miles an hour, from London to Johannesburg, they are establish ing a regluar service; they made; 1he trip of almost 7,000 miles in 1!) hours flying time, doesn't it seem fantastic to travel that way, according to that Dave, I feel that I am only a few hours away from s I S v 1 1 FIRST NATIONAL BANK U) OF PORTLAND tnt tUIlD OKCQON TOGfTHHf" tttmbfr hdtral Dipotll Inivranct Corporation REGULAR STYLE ENVELOLPIE THAT r- t j( 'j HlOlllH !AC i ' , , 1 M.IOVS ADIOUAtJ f t, , t "VJdup cm ; ' .

We often get a flash of Mr Truman and Mr. Acheson. From here it looks like General Eisenhower will be our next President. Personally I think he is wellqualified for the job, he has shown remarkable ability and tact as Supreme Commander in S. II. A. P. E. I hope they will settle the Steel dispute ami cably. It is a poor time to quarrel while ail this rearmament: is gu- ing on; We can't beat Stalin and his bunch of cut; throats that way, we will certainly liave to stand firmly together. Force is the only language they seem to understand. If we didn't rearm they would walk right in and take us; a treaty has no meaning to them at all. I hope Maggie is feeling better. Do you know how Dad Schaef is getting along. Things over here are not too good at present, the foot and mouth disease is very prevalent. Up to now it has cost the govern ment 750,000 Lbs. besides making such a scarcity of meat. It a comes out of the taxes it seems like there is alweys something to slow up progress. But we are try ing to combat the situation by every means. Well Dave I hope you and Will are enjoying good health. I am glad to say Elsie and I are very happy here.
