BROWN Member o f Congress Washington was host to Prime Min-, later Atlee o f Great Britian and Prime Minister King jf Canada last- week On Tuesday, Britain's Social­ ist and Labor Party Prime Minister addressed a Joint Session of Congress in ydiich he devoted most o f his time to explaining the political position o f his party and the reasons fo r the planned socialization and government ownership o f many o f Great Britain's financial institutions, public utilities" mines and industries. The Prime Minister's address was not any too well received* by the Congress; for most o f the legislators believe the speech was an effort to gain Congres­ sional favor for heavy American loans now being sought by a special British mission. In this connection it is rumored President Truman agreed with Mr. Atlee last week to request Congressional approval o f a four or four and one-half'billion dollar loan to Great Britain, at low interest; ALONG FARM FRONT E.

The pa­ rents must justifiably be proud that their children have learned the might­ iness of serving and doing it with a graciousness that lifts up both the one served and the young person who does this. In every one o f the letters, be­ tween lines, was the feeling o f elation that help was needed and she was able to do her share. It speaks well of their home training, as well as school and church influence, that these young women go -into a foreign country, yet take the atmosphere o f the American liearthside with them. Frances Williamson, o f Cedarville, completed her first year of Red Cross service, last August and What does sbe have to say about that ? “Just one year ago today (Aug. 26, 1945, this is dated) I left the village o f Cedarville! Well it has been a short year but also one -full of many interesting experiences.

Our shoulders aching because the musette bags, in which we stuffed all that we /could not pack elsewhere.

Marching down to the dock from the busses and hearing the thousands of men cheering lustily as we came alonK If we had thought- our bundles were heavy we didn't any longer after what those service men were toting! Of course we could not possibly have looked glamorous with helmets on, purse strapped on our back, musette bag on one side, gas masks on the oth-N er, overcoats on over red wool liners, but it was fun at that.

Being foggy we could not have j seen Miss Liberty had we been allow­ ed on deck. For two days we had an escort then we were on our own until we neared England; The last day on board was quite thrilling as we saw the Isle o f Man the first land we had seen. We borrowed binoculars and dimed as high mi the ship as we dared to see Gourock, Scotland, It was a bit scary to watch a'path being made for us to go to anchor, knowing there were mines in those waters.
