Nail Call Les pigeons dear editor in the last few months a very disturbing element has been j brought to the attention of British and american Quot liberators serving in North Africa. I speak of the rapacious conduct of algerian shopkeepers in general. A Man eating Tiger tasting his i first human blood is a non starter i compared to these Gentry k to quote a few cases prices on perfume have risen since november 8th from 200 prs. To 1,500 prs. Lipstick refills from 5 prs. To 30 prs. Handbags for our wives and girl friends from 1,000 frs. To 4,000 frs. Nice pickings mock Champagne or Mousseaux that a a pops retails at the better cabarets for 250 prs., and you pay extra for the mediocre entertainment at these places.

They Are the soldiery who built up the Camps and then left for foreign service be fore they could enjoy elaborate . Clubs and the service menus centers.
