General Foods, which has marketed Birdseye Frosted vegetables, fruit and meat in the U. S. since 1931, chose the Davieses' diplomatic migration to introduce them to Europe. Problem there is transportation, since ordinary refrigerator cars do not maintain the zero temperatures at which Birdseye foods must be kept. Arrangements have been made for a special car to transport Mrs. Davies' cream and other Birdseyetems. Meantime last week a Birdseye specialist, sent to Moscow for the purpose, was having the Embassy current stepped up high enough to power the 25 special Birdseye refrigerators...
...United Kingdom not to be niggardly with the Duke. At 5%, the interest on $1,000,000 is $50,000 per year and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was presently reported to have agreed with King George last week that Parliament be asked to vote $125,000 annually to maintain the Duke and problematic Duchess of Windsor.

This is wrong as one has much better control over a fast gliding ski and besides a ski that is not properly waxed will run unevenly in jerks, which makes it much harder to maintain one's balance. A good waxing job, while gliding smoothly downhill, will "bite" on walking uphill, thus preventing to some extent back-sliding and saving considerable energy...
...remembrance of their defeats grows dimmer and at the same time the prestige of our victories pales . . . . France needs glorious deeds, and hence war. She must be the first among the states or she is lost. I shall put up with peace as long as our negihbors can maintain it, but I shall regard it as an advantage if they force me to take up my arms again before they are rusted . . . . In our position I shall look on each conclusion of peace as simply a short armistice, and I regard myself as destined during my term of office...
