Fighting Fit

Lieut. General Andrew George Latta McNaughton came home last week, feeling fighting fit and in a fighting mood. Officially because of ill health, Canada's first soldier had been retired from command of the Canadian Army overseas. When reporters saw him at Quebec's swank Seigniory Club he looked in the pink. Said he: "There is nothing wrong with me. . . . It will be up to those who made statements about my health to explain them."

Plainly, Andy McNaughton had not wanted to come home and was still burning over the orders that brought him back to Canada (TIME, Jan. 3). Plainly, he would have liked to say much more. But that night, relaxed in the midst of his family, General McNaughton said that in Britain he had had a bout of influenza and that low blood pressure followed. There was, he said, nothing organically wrong that rest would not fix. Already he had sent for his skis, planned a long session on the Seigniory Club's snow trails. The reporters wondered who had talked with Andy McNaughton between interviews.
