I love the issues of Life. So much to digest.

A photo of Field Marshall Sir John Dill at the Combined Chiefs of Staff Conference. Sir John died while serving in Washington during the war. I believe he is the only non-US officer buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I could be wrong.

An advertisement for Blatz beer. Blatz was one of my staples in college; $2.49 a 12-pack. I think their advertising slogan was “After 3, who cares?”

Mary Ann Hyde had legs? I didn’t notice.

Great photos from the Battle of Stalingrad. They really bring home what a meatgrinder it was. Interesting that they were German, and not Soviet photographs. It is also interesting that the Germans were willing to release some of their aerial reconnaissance photos.

Glad those twins in Chicago could use Pepsodent powder to keep their teeth white. Of course it would have helped if they didn’t smoke. (yech).

And I wish I had some of that Kellogg’s Pep cereal about now. It’s been a long week. Good thing Mrs. Henkster isn’t wanting to go out partying tonight either. Maybe a high school football game instead.
