The Better Mousetrap and Government Woes
A long satirical piece follows a man attempting to build a better mousetrap. He fails repeatedly due to funding, shortages, and regulations, finally curbing costs, facing unions, and courting political figures. The piece ends by lampooning Morgenthau and Willkie amid wartime policy and deficits.

Camel cigarettes favored by service members across branches
Armored knights raised visors as identification and the salute. In modern times Camel cigarettes have become the Army Navy Marines and Coast Guard favorite in service stores and as a common gift for service members. Packages to overseas Army personnel face Post Office restrictions but Camels can be sent to soldiers in the U S and to men in Navy Marines and Coast Guard wherever they are.
