CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK

WINSTON CHURCHILL 11. “Normally at a wedding the bride has almost the entire limelight and everybody agrees that she should. But on this occasion the bride had some pretty stiff opposition in the shape of a small Churchill: Master Winston, son of Captain Randolph Churchill, and grandson of the Premier. And he’s exactly like his grandfather. He was dressed in a little sailor suit and he walked across the pavement in a very solid and determined way. His expression and his walk seemed to indicate that he was largely responsible for the conduct of the greatest war imhistory, and he wasn’t letting it bother him unduly. He was not, however, smoking a cigar. He detached, himself from his mother on the way in to church, to have a good look at what was going cn—the crowds and the movie and Press cameras and so on. The wedding he decided, could wait until he’d satisfied himself about what was doing outside. Unfortunately the bride was due to arriye, and his mother reappeared from the church and took his arm and yanked him in—a man occasionally has to suffer such indignities at the hands of women. Especially at the age of 2i years. But it’s my guess that he was yery troublesome for the rest of the day.”-E. V. H. Emmett in a 8.8. C. broadcast “Calling New Zealand.”
