Meating the American Way
One of the ideals most firmly expressed by Sir Winston Churchill was that men and women from all walks of life should be able to travel overseas and learn about the life, work and people of other countries. In this way, as a result of personal experience gained during their travels, they would be able to make a more effective and valuable contribution to the life of this country and community. When Sir Winston Churchill died on 24th January 1965, Trusts in the Commonwealth and United States of America were formed to perpetuate his memory, their aim being to provide Travelling Fellowships, the basis of which were discussed with him and approved before his death. The appeal to raise funds for the United Kingdom Trust was launched by Field Marshal Earl Alexander of Tunis.The donations came from thousands of people grateful for Sir Winston's inspiration and leadership: one war widow sent a 2 1/2'd stamp because she could not afford more but did not want to be left out, old age pensioners gave up their pensions, industry and commerce sent cheques for sums of anything up to 瞿25,000. All the donations were invested and the income they provide finances the Travelling Fellowships. This is the diary of the travel and events of a Sir Winston Churchill Fellow where he travelled for five weeks across the U.S.A. in his efforts to relate some of the effects of animal handling on the subsequent quality of meat produced. It also details some of the people that he met and the sites he saw. The Sir Winston Churchill Fellowships encourage the spread of knowledge and experience in individuals through travel and meeting people of different countries and cultures.
