He recounts how he heard news of WSC's resignation while with local workmen, who had been depressed until told that it was only a prelude to a General Election: " 'Oh' says one of them 'is that all!' 'I was feared we was going to lose him - General election don't matter- I reckon he'll be better off without some of those b-s he's got with him now!'
