WORLD NEWS IN PICTURES

WAR MEMORIAL-Winston Churchill (left) Britain's wartime leader, speaks during the unvelling of a World War memorial in Westminster Abbey. The bronze statues, right, symbolise the officers and men of the submarine branch, the commandos, and airborne forces of both World Wars, whose services were cited during the ceremony.

BEAUTIFUL DESIGN—An even dozen lovely Cypress Gardens Aqua-Maids pose in an attractive diagonal on a Florida beach.

WATER-GIRLS—A prolonged heat wave is causing English farmers considerable worry. Here, land girls water tiny cabbage plants by hand on a farm near Chichester, Sussex, as they overcome the severe drought. This land was part of an airfield during the war.. Now it has been cultivated as part of Britnin's plan

to grow more of her own food.

SMOOCHIN", SOPHIE Chick' Johnson grects "Red Hot Mama" Sophie Tucker with a welcoming kiss on

her arrival at Waterloo Sintion, London. Miss Tucker recently arrived in England from the United States. Johnson and Ole Olsen, American comedy team, gave her a riotous welcome on her arrival' when she was

SINKING STEAMER—The excursion steamer, Omar, sinks in the channel of the Ohio River within sight of the office buildings of downtown Cincinnati. Nothing could be done to save the river boat as crowds stood on the shore-line and watched the beat go to the bottom. The cause of the sinking could not be immediately determined. The nine persons aboard the steamer when it first began to submerge got safely ashore and were uninjured, but were perplexed concerning the cause of their pre-season swim.

PRETTIEST CO-ED—Although this co-ed's name isn't Mary, her not-so-dumb lamb follows Margery H. Mchi all around the campus' of Middlebury, College, in Vermont. It isn't hard to see why, either, since : Margery was recently elected "Prettiest Co-ed" during Middlebury's annual festivities. Now the lamb is her steady escort, even trying to "steal" this picture.
