Truman | Lucol of Indianapolis, Ind. “So why | rot a V-B Day? This victory may | prove to be just as important.” | The idea met a ready response | emong the pilots and ground | crews who have been working night and day to keep Berlin sup- | plied with food and fuel. “We could certainly use a holi- | day, all right—and I think we've earned one,” said Corp. Joseph | Howard, Tauntaon, Mass. | Even the airlift commanders | who talked of carrying on the uirAJ lift despite the blockade's end | agreed with the men that they had | earned a holiday. BILL WINN TELLS ROTARIANS OF | LIFE IN EUROPE The teauties of famous continen- | tal cities such as Paris and Flor-| ence, a quick look at the Riviera and Belgium, family life on a| French canalboat, dining as an art, | world-famous entertainment, prices, | differences in living scales, Parisian | women, and something on how | France and Italy are rebuilding | after the war—all these were part | of the talk Rotary Club members | heard at their weekly luncheon meeting in the Baranof Hotel Gold | room today. | Bill Winn, “a genuine Alaskan,”| also discussed the “terrific selling | job” England is doing on the con- | tinent, extending even to the stacks! of Canadian canned salmon in a Belgian shop (none from Alaska).| Some of the previously mentioned | subjects were discussed in answer | to members’ questions. Winn returned recently from a| three-month vacation in Europe. President Charles W. Carter| presided, turning the program over| . to Joseph A.
