Granny & Gas Bill. The Labor Party wound up its family outing at seaside Scarborough with a brave show of working-class solidarity. Hit of the show was 69-year-old "Granny" Nelly Cressall, Labor's grand old lady, whose pep talk was recorded and will be played at street corners during the campaign. Excerpt: "I remember the days when my neighbors used ter come and ask me fer a penny fer the gas meter-and I 'adn't got it. Now they come creatin' about their big gas bills. It makes me mad-'aven...
Aneurin Bevan's split with the Labor leadership over last years' budget would not make much of a difference, according to Beer. U. S. observers were upset by the fact that four Bevan men were recently elected to the Party's seven-man National Executive Committee at the Scarborough Conference, but Beer discounts this.

But that argument has now been replaced by a bigger argument. I have been fighting the Tory all my life ever since I was a nipper. Once we are returned to the House of Commons, we can resume that other argument." With that, fighting Nye addressed himself to the faults of Winston...
...playing days, Margarita was always a left halfback. He starred at Medford High and Scarborough-on-the-Hudson and went on to Brown to play single wing under Skip Stahley, a former Harvard assistant coach. He entered the Army Air Force in 1943, was released the following year, and managed to finish college and play for Chicago in the National Football league at the same time...
