Leaders of great nations and ordinary fol k join to- gether in common prayer for Sir Winston Churchill who appears to be slipping peacefully toward death following a stroke suffered Friday. Of all , perhaps , it ls the ord- inary folk who link themselves solidly with this beloved leader . The people of his country best remember him for the comfort and strength he gave to them during the blackest times of the war. And people of other nations remember him for his graclous- ness and friendliness. Such is the case with Gerard S. Kelly of 191 Fairview Avenue , Bayport , who , on two occasions , had the pleasure of meeting this great leader. Mr. Kelly ' s professional sing- ing activities were interrupted by World War II , and like count- less other American men , he soon found himself on foreign soil , near Cairo , Egypt , where he was attached with the British Eighth Army. Mr, Kelly ' s talents soon brought him the title and duties of chief clerk for Major General Gilbert Cheves , commanding general ef the United States For- ces in the Middle East. While serving in this capacity, Mr. Kelly also used his pro- (Continued on page 11) THE SAD NEWS of the serious condition of Sir Winston ChurchiL is keenly f elt by Bayport resident Gerard S, Kelly, who had the honor of meeting with the Prime Minister on two occasions.

This latest addition to Breok- liaven ' s extensive recreation system was created by the Brook- haven Town Board after a survey indicated there were many resi- dents Interested in skiing and other Winter sports . The slope ' s development was carefully guided by Brookhaven Town Supervisor Charles R . Dominy and Council- man Clarence Hough. Both Super- visor Dominy and Councilman Hough devoted many hours in the past six weeks urging completing of the ski area to insure it would be in operation this season. Actual construction of the facility began six weeks ego after the Town Board authorized its construction and began obtaining material needed. Many of the problems that arose were per- sonally handled by Supervisor Dominy, who at one point had so and then convince the workmen to work almost double shifts to meet die opening date deadline. Councilman Hough will be die men in charge of the overall operation of the facility with Commis s ioner of Parks Harold Malkmes handling the day to day supervision and operation of the popular facility. Thousands of people from all parts of Brookhaven Hocked to tine slope on opening day. Two lines of cars parked on both sides of the street for three quarters of a mile were visual proof of the hundreds of people interested in die Winter sports program.
