Winter Woollies To King
LONDON, August 24, Irritated by the comments of a British newspaper correspondent on the praetice of Iowa farmers of wearing long woollen underwear both in winter aird summer, an Iowan farmer living near Des Aloines offered to send a set of his last summer 's woollies to King George. ' ' If the King wore them for just one day I kuow he would never go without them again,'" he said. "They'd be just the thing for those clamuxy English tvinters. I wore them over there during the war, and they were just the ticket. " When the farmer 's offer was reported to the Buckingham Palace authorities by the American news agency, they made the somewhat austere eomment: "The King does not accept gifts from strangers exeept for very special reasons.
