The new registrant was the last baby brought into this world by the late Dr. J. J. Davis of Smyrna. Winston's father, Co lumbus, was working for Dr. Davis at Smyrna on May 18, 1942 when he got word that his wife needed him at home. Columbus told Dr. Davis that his wife was about to have a baby.

(The second world war was in its infancy and Churchill was destined to become the saviour of Great Britain).
