Memory of her father by Ruth Mitchell
My father, John Mitchell Jr., was anxious to enlist and serve in Word War I.
Because he was quite thin, he was afraid that he would not make the weight minimum. To get around this problem, he ate a large number of bananas before going to the draft office.
Eating bananas, he had heard, would result in an instant weight gain. Unfortunately, he hadn't made allowances for the instant new girth which suddenly appeared.
Since he could no longer button his pants, he was forced to go to the draft board in an overcoat... on a very warm day! | Mitchell, John George Jnr. (I4094)

Michael Mason, who has died aged 89, was once mocked by a newspaper columnist as "the Cecil B DeMille of steam radio". Mason certainly pushed the medium of sound broadcasting on BBC Radio to its limits - and occasionally beyond. Listeners who tuned in to the BBC Home Service one October evening in 1966 for the programme A Bayeux Tapestry got their first taste of a Mason production and a foretaste of greater things to come. Made to mark the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, the programme mixed music, effects and voices to vivid effect, employing for the first time the signature vox-pop recordings that helped to set Mason's productions apart from the formal talking-head style that was very much the stock BBC radio output at the time.
Mason was born in Maida Vale, London, to Herbert, a stage actor who moved into film-making, and Daisy, a novelist and playwright. Educated at Haileybury school, Hertfordshire, he was planning to go to Cambridge when the second world war intervened. Mason served briefly in the Home Guard before volunteering to join the army in 1942 at the age of 18. He entered the Royal Artillery as a gunner and was wounded by enemy shrapnel shortly after the Battle of the Bulge.
After demobilisation he went to Jesus College, Cambridge, to read English. A convert to Roman Catholicism, Mason went to work as an editor for the Catholic publishers Sheed & Ward; here he met his future wife, Pamela (nee Greig), proposing to her in the course of a walk through a snowstorm on Hampstead Heath.
Editing led Mason into freelance scriptwriting and radio, and in 1965 he secured a much sought-after job as a BBC radio producer at Broadcasting House. In addition to the bread-and-butter fare of interviews, scripted talks and the rest, his programmes included a feature in which a youthful Anthony Hopkins portrayed a passionate, flawed Beethoven, and Icarus With an Oilcan (1975), about the early days of powered flight.
The most remarkable was The Long March of Everyman , a 26-part series of 45-minute programmes broadcast weekly on Radio 4 from November 1971. These ambitious historical soundscapes presented "themes and variations in the history of the people of Britain", from Roman times to the present. They told the story primarily through the words and voices of "the people": letters, diaries, official pronouncements, court proceedings, gravestone inscriptions, graffiti, popular rhymes, lyrics and jokes - each read by somebody who was the nearest equivalent of the original author.
The recordings were intercut with music, sound effects, literary excerpts (read by actors) and the voices of many of the country's leading historians, from Asa Briggs and Christopher Hill to radical young Turks such as Raphael Samuel . The final ingredients were mixed in the BBC's radiophonic workshop at Maida Vale. In The Long March and other characteristically multilayered productions such as Rus (a history of Russia) and The British Seafarer (1980), Mason aimed at what he called "total audio": a thematic, quasi-symphonic use of sound through which he believed he could communicate a far richer and more nuanced evocation of the past than could ever be achieved by a linear, narrator-led presentation. Many listeners became - and remain - passionate devotees; others complained that they wanted more facts and dates.
Mason's fondness for expensive, grandiose projects did not always make him popular with his corporate masters. Nor were all his productions unmitigated successes; Mason's much cherished electronic opera for radio, recorded quadrophonically (much of it under water in a municipal swimming-pool), left most listeners baffled. His most ambitious project, The Landscape of European Music, consisting of 50 live concerts, each to be broadcast with an accompanying hour-long documentary - was stillborn due to the difficulties of marshalling the necessary resources.
But Mason's earlier experiments with the spoken word led him to create what was in some ways the most innovative production of them all: a kaleidoscopic evocation of the final years of Britain's recently lost empire. Plain Tales from the Raj (1974) was built around field recordings of some 60 veterans of British rule in India, from the nonagenarian Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, the last commander-in-chief of the pre-independence Indian army, to the comedian Spike Milligan , born in Poona, the son of a soldier.
The programmes struck an immediate chord and the series went on to generate outstanding audience figures, confounding Mason's bosses who had previously expressed doubts about giving air time to such an unenticing subject. A second series was commissioned, as well as a book based on the original series, which briefly vied with Edward Heath 's Sailing for the top of the bestseller list. Oral history became an accepted part of the radio repertoire with Mason's further exercises in colonial history, Tales from the Dark Continent (1979) and Tales from the South China Seas (1983) - programmes condemned by one Marxist historian as exercises in colonial nostalgia, but defended by Mason as part and parcel of British history.
In his later years, Mason cast off his Catholicism and become increasingly influenced by some of the teachings of Buddhism. Some of his BBC colleagues undoubtedly saw him as an eccentric or even an irritant; others came to regard him as a wise and gentle friend who saw in radio a wonderful instrument through which to awaken the imagination and the spirit. In 1984, Mason left the BBC, moving with his wife and family to Surrey, where he enjoyed a long and serene retirement.
He is survived by Pamela, two sons and a daughter, and by seven grandchildren.

MITCHENER MARCHAND LASBURY - Citizens of Griggsville, both young and old, were shocked and saddened Monday afternoon when the news reached them of the sudden death of M. M. [Mitchener Marchand] Lasbury, known to everyone as "Twin."
Mr. Lasbury was in his usual health when he went to work in his garden Monday afternoon. Coming into the house a little later he had just sat down to play a game of rummie with Lew Hitch, his genial companion who lives in their home, when he was stricken with a heart attack and leaning back in his chair, died instantly.
Mr. Lasbury was born in London, England, April 21, 1864, and was one of twins, his brother dying in infancy. He came to America with his parents Thomas and Emma Wall White Lasbury, when he was three years of age.
The family located in the Griggsville community where Mr. Lasbury had always made his home. He was married to Miss Minnie Pratt on March 8, 1899. She passed away in March 1920. One son was born to them, who died in infancy.
They took into their home , tiny six months' old Margaret Richards, a niece. To her was given all the love and care they would have given their own. It was a sad shock to them when she died at the age of 18.
Another little girl, Katrina Williams, now Mrs. Russell Doake of Los Angles, Calif., was taken into their home, and was a great comfort and joy to them for several years.
Mrs. Emma McConnell, a sister of Mr. Lasbury and the only remaining member of the Lasbury family, went to live with her brother several years ago. The brother and sister and Mr. Hitch have enjoyed a comfortable life in their pleasant home on South Stanford street in Griggsville.
For many years Mr. Lasbury had taken great pride in his ability to make things grow. His truck gardens which he operated as a business a number of years ago, were to him a source of genuine pleasure as well as profit. Even after going into business with T.M. Yates, operating the Pike Mills, his garden was his chief source of relaxation. Few citizens, if any, have been better known in their community than was M.M. Lasbury.
His wit, his hearty laugh and friendliness made him remembered by all who knew him. His greatest pleasure was in making children happy. It was this love of little folks which stimulated his interest in the Community Christmas tree which had been an annual custom the past twenty years. He served as chairman of this organization for the past 15 years, and seeing Mr. Lasbury lead the grand march to the Christmas tree was a traditional a treat to the children as the appearance of Santa Clause himself. Only Monday morning he was greatly concerned as to what they could get for the children at Christmas with the war time shortages.
Another organization on which he served faithfully was the Red Cross. AS president of the chapter he was always on hand when there was an opportunity for the Red Cross to serve. He was a familiar figure to the soldiers who were stationed there during the last spring's flood, providing them with stationery, etc., and arranging for special food to add variety to the regular army fare.
Mr. Lasbury had been a member of the Masonic order for 53 years and was presented a fifty year medal by the Griggsville lodge to which he belonged, and of which he was justly proud. He was also a charter member of the Order of Eastern Star.
Serving as a member of the Library board had been another interest and pleasure. Several times Mayor of Griggsville, he has always been identified with the best interests of the city, and was always an active worker for anything that would benefit his home town.
Mr. Lasbury occupied a unique place in the hearts of he people in his community and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Funeral services were held this afternoon at 2:30 at the Skinner Funeral Home. As was his wish, Griggsville lodge No. 45, A.F. and A.M. was in charge of the service. A prayer was offered by the Rev. Samuel J. Buck, pastor of the Methodist Church. Interment was in the Griggsville Cemetery. | Lasbury, Mitchener Marchant (I426)

Mr. Joseph Fish, who was a resident of Rush Lake township for nearly 40 years, died at his home at Mallard Wednesday. He had some bronchial ailment. The funeral was held Friday. Services were conducted at the Latterday Saints church in Mallard by Elder C. J. Hunt. The burial was in the Rush Lake cemetery. There was a large procession of old friends and neighbors.
Mr. Fish was born at Radstock, near Bath, England, August 20, 1837. He came to America in 1865. He spent five years in Illinois. He moved to Ft. Dodge, Iowa, in 1870. During his early life he followed mining for a living. In 1871 he came to Rush Lake township, this county, and took up a homestead. He was industrious and frugal and he prospered. June 29, 1874, he was married at Ft. Dodge to Miss Mary Hodgoon, who survives him. Mr. and Mrs. Fish moved from their farm to Mallard a short time ago. There are six sons and daughters living - William, Lizzie, Robert, Martha, Benjamin, and Edith.
Mr. Fish was a typical representative of the great race from which he sprung. He was methodical and painstaking and he was tireless in his efforts to advance every good cause with which his judgment told him he should associate himself. He was exemplary in his habits and his citizenship ranked with the most useful and helpful in our county. He was a man of well founded convictions and religious subject. He could see a higher, a more serious purpose in life than in enjoying himself or in hoarding up a few dollars. He sought to learn God's will in the direction of the social and moral welfare of his home community and to carry it out to be guided, of course, by the light of conscience and duty. The influence of his worthy career will be enduring benefit to the neighborhood that knew him so long and in which he spent so many active years. The sympathy of all is extended to the wife and family in their sorrow. | Fish, Joseph (I54613)
