Allen: Patton’s men need pretzels to go with German beer
By Gracie Allen
Los Angeles, California – (Sept. 11)
Don’t forget to mail those Christmas presents to boys overseas between Sept. 15 and Oct. 15.
One woman I know, whose boy is with Gen. Patton, is sending her son a box of pretzels.
She figures by the time he gets the pretzels, he’ll be where there’s plenty of beer.
Sometimes I wonder if this wave of optimism that’s sweeping the country is good or bad.
For example, one California plant has already started reconversion to peacetime industry. They’re making electric irons – 20,000 a week.
It’s true the country’s pants need pressing, but it’s also a perfect time to be caught with them down.
