THE GARRLE SISTERS

THE GARBLE SISTERS
saint it wonderful what the Rus
SLAMS are doing?"
"Yeah. They've taken Umphrey
Lee, Ramirez and some place called
Lake Lepke " - = Y r. aN@
'That general they've got is ter
rife. What's his manner" =
"Novgorod, I think"
81 thought it was Pravda."
Maybe you're right, I'm awful on
remembering people,"
"Did you read all that stuff about
the need to get a national selective
service law by renegotiation?"
The idea is to draft everybody
who votes in the next election and
make them do whatever Washing
ton wants them to do to help win
the war, amt it?'
"If you or me or anybody else is
needed in some shop or shipyard we
get orders to pack bag and 60
there"
"What happens if we refuse and
stand firmly on the Curzon Line?"
sit goes to an arbitration board
but before anything is done about it
we get taken over and operated by
the Secretary of War, think"
81 remember reading something
about it last week. Two railroad
presidents were confiscated but CIV
en- back later"
John M. Webb, turret gunner,
bailed out of a bomber and landed
squarely on the back of a grazing
horse. The horse, he says, paid no
attention at first but suddenly threw
him. 1t Is just possible the airman
was on the wrong end Of the steed
for a turret gunner.
The WPB announces that there
will be more automobiles, dresses
and potatoes available this year. We
can't wait to apply for good two
passenger potato, buy our girl q
new dress and take her out to some
restaurant where we can get big
Idaho sedan with butter.

Wendell Willlie starred on ''Infor.
nation Please" recently and it Is
now up to Governors Bricker and
Dewey to get on Duffy's Tavern OF
Truth and Consequences IL they are
to have q chance for the presi-
dency.
Willkie, wa understand, may base
his claims to the nomination for the
presidency on the fact he made the
pickle progr:Im more than twice.
Frank Sinatr is in his first NOV
lie, Higher and Higher" But Ina
Dodo went looking for him all day
yesterday under the impression the
picture was something called "A
Guy Named Frank" "As Thousands
Faint or "For Whom The Bull
Tolls"
SNAPPY STUFF
George r. Knied, gunner in a Lib
orator plane, returning from mis-
sion, summed it up, mo fax, no
fighters, no fun" We think it be-
longs among the great phrases Of
history.
A fash through the skies with q rip
and q snort
A search for the foemen begun
Then back to the base with the clas-
sic report:
''No fax, no fighters, no fun!"
We saw a man in q hot argu-
ment with a sidewalk pencil peddler
the other day. We inquired what
was the matter. "Renegotiation pro-
ceedings," explained the peddler.
Wendell Willkie, emphasizing that
debt of 800 billion will mean a
service charge of six billion year,
says it is staggering" But the
trouble is that the American people
by and large are no longer as con-
scious Of staggering as they once
were. They now are confusing stag
gering with boogie-woogie dancing.
DOGS LIFE IN ENGLAND
General Eisenhower pet dog, a
Scottish terrier, has been put under
quarantine for six months in Eng
land under a law to guard against
the spread Of canine diseases"
News item.
We can see the generals pooch
now, lying on the floor dejectedly,
brow wrinkled, wondering if this
war, which the chief is directing is
really a fight for freedom. "The
Four Freedoms!" we can imagine
the dog musing; 'Huh! Well. will
settle for one!"
We can fancy General Eisenhow-
er's terrier, tail between his legs
thinking: 81 just can't understand
1t In all the war talk I've heard
there's always been a lotta empha-
sis ON the battle for liberty! j.. :.
