Arthur Maitland Lipman


Deciding to forgoe the luxuries of Rio nights, coconuts and bread fruit, Lippy joined the R.C.A.F., last May 29th, making the leisurely trip of some 12,000 miles to reach Vancouver and the recruiting depot.  A Limey from Lancashire (b. May 6, 1914), Lippy has travelled to more places than Eleanor Roosevelt, and was educated at Northands and at Perse, Cambridge, winding up finally as a chartered accountant.  A killer diller for culture, Lippy writes his own poetry, and finds his chief relaxation in sunbathing, sleeping and dancing.  After three years of wandering around South America, Arthur Maitland ended up in the British Embassy at Rio where he put his many talents to work pacifying the peons through the medium of the embassy's press and propaganda department.  A year later, Lippy exchanged the balmy breezes of Rio Bay for the Chinooks from the Rockies and became one of those to whom so much is owed by so many, etc., etc.
