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

In vol'Up over on this side of the
Pond, my neice's husband sells
them. 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

Up to now it has cost the govern

such a scarcity of meat. It a
