Pom Poms Tumble to Cheers From New Guinea Veterans

South Pacific veterans will be pleased to learn that price spirals which started with the first landings on New Guinea have at last taken a header.

In fact, the bottom has practically dropped out of the market. Pom pom is now available on almost any Cambridge street corner for just five (5) cents.

Explanation of this amazing circumstance is simple. A local candy maker, anxious to find just the right evocative name to describe his latest confection, was swept away by a zeal for imagery; "Pom Poms" are the result, now on sale at your favorite drug or cigar store.

They are rich, creamy, and dark complexioned, and an expert panel of non-Pacific veteran tasters has pronounced the sweet definitely "eatin' stuff."

A word of caution before you rush out to get some though: Be wary of female clerks. There were WACs in the Pacific too, you know.
