FROM out of the cloud

above # 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.

I was watching British armed parachute troops in training, writes રી "Daily Herald" reporter.

For 4 good many months these troops have been at their exercises.

went along to Lord Queen- borough, influential figure in the Conservative Party, direc- tor of companies, and a man whose income has been esti- mated at £50,000 a year, to find out.

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 to celebrate his eightieth birthday.

"It may bring content as you go along, because making Inoney 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 sces 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 mattera," 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 believe that never was it more essential for the British people to preserve their old bellof in Godliness.

"Sweeping social and economic changes will fol- low this war. 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"

And hereabouts Lord 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 learned to get down to work in Americn.

"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 Amerlea. 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 "I was one of a thousand youngsters in that part of the wild and woolly west"-to business life in St Paul, Min- nesota, had five years in Wall- street, and amassed a for- tune.

.

Then he married the daugh- ter of William C. Whitney, "father of the United States Navy" as Americans call him. After which came his return to England and entry into a full political life as M.P. for Cambridge from 1910 to 1917, a peorago in 1918, and pre- sidency of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations (Eastern Provin cial Area).

It has been eighty years of richly patterned living.

The test that I watched was attended by many Army generals and R.A.F. officer's and their staffs, among them General Sir John Dill, Chief of the Imperial General Staff.

The troops. unharnessed #- their parachutes as soon as they landed, and rushed to a 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.

Italian Captain Lives

Captain Gabriele Locatelli, of the Italian liner Felin. tried vataly to commit suicide by smashing his spectacles and eating the glass, after Costa Rican authorities seized vessel at Punta Arenas recently. Had he but known, there was the example of a famous seaman to diasunde him from hoping for such a glassy death.
