BRIEFS FROM BILLVILLE

We’ve had blizzards to burn, but no fire to burn ’em. It ain’t lonesome in the wilderness when you start a sawmill to keep you company. The profiteer flies high, because the devil is a friend that won’t set fire to his wings. As cold as they say this old world is we don’t find ’em willing to swap it for the fireworks. » Some of the all-knowing ones have actually quit running the war and have gone to work to make a living till the war ends.
