Church of England

St Micheal’s Anglican Church in Merritt, I grew up just down the block from this church.

When the Department of National Defence had a mortar platoon support company here  a paster from this church became the CO the only ordained Minister I ever heard of that commanded an infantry unit. The armouries is now used as an elks hall and him Nelson Atkinson must have passed on by now I  contact him some years ago in the Kiwanis organization. and in my second term in the Rocky Mountain Rangers in Kamloops he was talked about fondly by soldiers as a chaplain.

Thats getting to be a while ago and the world has moved on . Any way thanks to you Canon Atkinson for your generation and what you left behind.PP

Film review:
The world of social conflict it seems was played out in real-time lives. It is to us of this generation to be enlightened , entertained , tortured , and treated to the moral imperative of every scenario one could imagine in this film. This however is a good film for a conflict arises when a middle age women is elevated from the down and out, and in to  the position of responsibility  of social secretary to a young socialite entertainer. She among other exploits  is entertaining no less than four  betrothed. The bag ladies wit and warmth left over from better times becomes a timely referee to a complicated social setting.
The London England pre WW 2 night club affair is just the thing to get Mis Petttigrew on with her life for a day. Having been hungry ,she is ready for a humourous scene  as a planned make over for her new position involves a facial mud pack complete with cucumbers slices over her eyes , the green vegetables are eaten with glee and the make over continues.
The  position of social secretary is so well done that Miss Petttigrew solves all her benefactors difficulties in one day.,and packs her off to New York by steam ship. This with her  choice  made  among her suitors. This then ends the employment and puts Miss Pettigrew in to the train station, vagrant,  once again and eyeing half eaten fruit on the floor, for sustenance. This is redeemed in a fashion that you will have to see the film to enjoy fully.
The film has had many excellent reviews, from many great publications and is consistent in its presentation of moral imperatives twisted into dry witted comedy. There is no herk or jerk to this film just plain good fun and enjoyable from start to finish.
Irony and upset bringing together a beneficial and fitting end to convoluted situations reminds us that it is the choices we make in life that keep our life going on a keel. Any choice is better than balancing opportunities in such a way as not to be able to fully exploit any of them.
For pure comical entertainment in a dry witty enjoyable format this film rates :
✰✰✰✰ Good

Malice I think the world we leave behind will be better than when we found it.
