above a stretch of English downland came a big troop-carrier plane. Suddenly a figure leaped from it. A parachute swelled out.
Another parachutist followed. And others
came after him in quick succession.
The big plane passed on. More machines fol- lowed, more
men floated down.

And Lord Queenborough did not know. Why? Because he is too busy putting in a full eight hours' work a day to bother, almost too busy even to remember that he about

"Money? No, it does not necessarily bring happi- ness," he said, as he sat at the head of the long table in the London.council room of the Royal Society of St George, of which he is pre- sident.
"It may bring content as you go along, because making money appears to be the sign of one's success.
"Yet, once you have reached the stage where you are inde- pendent it means nothing in itself. Except this. Wealth brings its own obligations. Every one has to recognise and live up to his ideals."
Thing that matters
What are those obligations? As Lord Queenborough sees it. his present service is to make the Royal Society of St George known and active throughout the Empire.
"Unity of thought, that's the thing that matters," he fired at me. "If you get unity of thought then you bring along unity of action."
The work of the Royal So- ciety of St George is to strengthen the spirit of patriotism and carry forward the great English traditions. "What does the society stand for? It stands for everything that is the op. posite of Julian Huxley, who has just said that 'the concept of God has reached the limits of its usefulness.'

We don't know what we shall have to face, except a lot of hard work. So we must be ready, keeping alive the spirit of England.",
“Laziest dog”-
Lord
And hereabouts Queenborough looked over the top of his spectacles and right down the years. He was go- ing back to his early days. Listen to him:
"If I were starting again' I would go to America or Canada. I was the laziest dog ever born, but I learnedi to gel down to work in America.
"When I was at the rail- way shops in Derby they reported to my father that I was their worst pupil. Perhaps I liked Rugby foot- ball and lawn tennis too much.
"Yet I had to do some thing! My father had six sons, so I was packed off to Amerien, I was given £100, and my father paid my passage and the first year's keep to the people to whom I went to learn ranching. The rest was left to me."
I can finish that American adventure, one stretching over twenty years. Lord Queen- borough went from ranching

Jackets were shaped to the hips. Trousers, fitted into the tops of their boots, which were on the German pattern.
The test that I watched was attended by many Army: generals and R.A.F. oflicers and their staffs, among them General Sir John Dill, Chief of the Imperial General Staff. Though the air-borne force in this exercise was small. much larger numbers could be effectively used if the need
came.

The. troops unharnessed their parachutes as soon they landed, and rushed to n pre-arranged point, their wea- -pons-ready-for-action.
Everything went off with hardly a hitch.
True, one parachutist, in landing, twisted his ankle on. rough ground, but not badly enough to prevent him from keeping up with his comrades.
There was a comedy touch.
The Lost Car
Crown Prince Olaf of Nor- way, one of the spectators, missed his car when the exer- cises were over,
One squad of parachutists had passed that way. Their instructions Had been to use any means available to reach the objective, and the Prince's car had struck them as the most eligible vehicle.
The chauffeur protested; but there was something about the look of the parachutists and their bayonets that per suaded him to yield.
Not till the afternoon did the car rejoin the Crown Prince.
