Answer to Christmas Puzzle:!
One candle only.
Politics makes funny bedfel
lows and puls funny turkeys in
the pot Which cryptic remark
we hasten to explain.
This week a local woman re
paired to her kitchen to draw a
festive turkey bird. With the
shortage of help, you know,
housewives are re-learning the
lost art of drawing fowl.
When this woman began on
this bird she found an odd-look
ing metal lag on it and an odd
looking round sticker.
Perusal of the tags disclosed
that the turkey had come all the
way from a firm, Somebody and
Cia(in Spanish) in Buenos Aires,
Argentina!
A question in international
politics immediately arose. One
may surreptitiously hang pre
war Japanese-made Christmas
ornaments about after carefully
placing the unsightly insignia to
ward the bole of the t ee but
how far can one go in such mat
ters?
Can one with full-fledged Al
lied instincts consume with
equanimity a despised neutral
Argentine bird? Or should one
write to the State Department
and seek a white paper on the
subject?
In this case, we ascertained,
the lady in question with logic
and aplomb decided that it the
State Department allowed the
Department of Agriculture to
arrange that a turkey from
Argentina should plop in her pot, 1
international intrigue, diplomatic
relations and global strategy
could all three eo hang.
We told the lady we were go
;ng to mention the turkey ex
perience in the paDer, and asked
her if there was anything she
wanted to say about it.
“All I can say,” she replied,
“is that the turkey had a lot of
guts to come all the way
from Argentina.”
Footnote to Christmas Puzzle:
Of course it’s one candle only.
The box wouldn’t be empty
after the first candle. Now’ you
•an take them out of the box and
put them on the tree. And may
you have a Very Merry (War
Bond) Christmas and a Happy
(War Bond) New Year.
