FAMILY REUNITED
WITH ROYAL HELP I
_
TORONTO, (/P)—A letter to
Queen Elizabeth has clipped gov- J
ernmental red tape and assured
the speedy reunion of a family j
separated by six years of war.
The letter was written by an
American—Robert E. McCloy of
Eden, N. Y. McCloy and his wife
cared for two British children
evacuated during the blitz, Bren-1
da and Beryl Gowing.
McCloy needed a foreman for
his Christmas tree plantation near
Courtland, Ontario. James Gow
ing, in Norwich, England, wanted
the job if he could bring his wife
and other daughter, Hazel to Can
ada and reunite the family.
Unable to get government per
mission, McCloy finally wrote the
queen.
“It took three days for the air :
mail letter to be delivered in Eng
land,” he said. “The day after it
arrived an officer came to Gow
ing’s house and told him, ‘T^e j
queen’s going to bat for you.’ The
permission he’d been trying to get
from the foreign office for years
is on the way.”

Will Rogers once broadcast a
realistic imitation of Calvin Cool
j idge’s New England twang. Some
listeners were incensed that any
body would dare take liberties
! with so important a person as the
President of the United States.

amused, and later poked fun at
Will Rogers about it.

a better job of mimicking my hus

“Maybe you can give a better
imitation of his voice.” replied
Rogers, “but just remember what
you had to go through to learn it.”
