In The Steps Of Winston Churchill
Dhder the titie "Dunkirk ta Berlin," ari • English firm of cartographers has- puhlished a map , showing all the journeys, by land, isea, and air„ undertaken by Mr. : Winston Churchill' in defence of 'the British Enipire and Common.wealth. It portrays an aspect- of the ex-Premier's greatness which : is not, perhaps, sufifipiently wMely recognised, and is, a tribute to thb personal courage which impelled him to disregard .all hazards and hardship's- in his determination to aehieve victory. - ■ ,'M The time may come .when. . this map, or something very like it,'will be incorporated in the . school his-
tories, for it is worthy to take its place alongside those older maps which commemorate the travels of Drake and other Elizabethan seamen. Mr. Churchill covered vast distances during the war, travelling as far west as Niagara Falfe and as far east as Teheran, and the routes he took „on each occasion are here recorded. The map is published in conjunction with Time and Tide, and all royalties reeeived! are to be devoted to the establishment of "Iittle Canada," a log-cabin, hilltop' village scheme for children in need of mental stimulus during recuperation.
