McLAIN DRUG CENTRE 8 NORTH CENTRAL AYE MEDFORD, OREGON Editor's Note: Britain honors Wins ton Churchill, the statesman, on his 80th birthday tomorrow with porno an ceremony. The following dispatch is a closeup on Churchill, the man. By ROBERT MUSEL , United Press Correspondent London (U.R) Sir Winston Churchill will be 80 tomorrow. Looking back over his long career he may wonder how he got there. He was a premature baby. Had a chest weakness at eight, double pneumonia at nine. Fell out of a tree and was unconscious three days when 18, suffered a serious shoulder injury at 21. . He fell off a camel at 47, off a polo pony at 48, into a lake at 52. At one time or another he also suffered from gastro-enteritis, appendicitis, tonsillitis, skin trouble, eye . trouble, lung trouble, seasickness, hernia. He has survived two strokes. He was in the room in which a shell burst in 1916, in a plane crash in 1919, knocked down by a New York taxicab in 1931, 50 yards from a German shellburst in 1945, 50 yards from a bomb that almost dropped a chandelier on him during the blitz. Time No Enemy Where Churchill differs ft om most men is that he refuses to recognize time as an antagonist. He has changed his mode of liv ing only the barest minimum. He no longer smokes 18 cigars a day or drinks three quarters of a bottle of brandy. But he still smokes, he still drinks. - He no longer works 16 hours a day but he still works a lot longer than many younger men. He awakens about 8 in his roomy bedroom at No. 10 Down ing and spends the next two hours in bed. He reads the news papers and official reports. He breakfasts on coffee, bacon and eggs. Then, in .his striped pa jamas, he dictates to a secretary who takes it directly on a noise less portable typewriter. He Takes Siesla He shaves with a safety razor, bathes and dresses, usually in a black coat with striped trousers and blue polka dot tie. Then he confers with his ministers, firing specific questions at them and then entering into a general dis cussion. - . After lunch (an aperetif before and brandy and cigar after), the PM takes a short nap. He pick ed up the siesta habit as a young man correspondent in Cuba. Then he is off to Parliament, later to Buckingham Palace and often to a banquet or late Cabi net meeting: is near midnight before he is in pajamas again dictating to a secretary the last thoughts of the day. As benefits a man who is a legend in his own lifetime, Churchill is the nub of countless anecdotes. A Famous Wit This story circulates about his first meeting with Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery. "I don't use either alcohol or tobacco and I'm" 100 per cent efficient," said Montgomery. "I use both," re plied Churchill, "and my ef ficiency is 200 per cent." Churchill is the most feared man in . Commons in debate. He once referred to Socialist leader Clement Attlee as . "a sheep in sheep's clothing." , i He loves all animals, even the ducks and geese on his estate. A guest remembers him exclaim ing to his wife, Clementine, after plunging the knife into the Sun day goose: "Yoii carve him, Clemmy.- He was a friend of mine.' According ' to one somewhat doubtful story, Churchill paused while making his historic "We will fight them on the beaches" speech after the fall of Dunkirk. He covered the microphone with his hand, turned aside and mut tered: . "We will hit them over the head with beer .bottles7 which is all we have to fight with." English Girl Set To Leave Today For Home in Haiiley Jean Thompson, who became critically ill soon after arriving here from England to visit her sister, Mrs. Harold Ross, Hartley lane, and the women's mother, Mrs. James Thompson, are sched uled to leave at 5:15 p. m., to day by United Air lines for their home in Hanley, England.

The amount will be prorated and the difference will be charged off by the nurses and the manage ment of the hospital. Gifts to the fund mainly were from Ashland area but also were made from Medford, Grants Pass, Portland and LaGrande. .
