Our readers must have had a lot of fun yesterday reading the pleasant exploits of a retiree of Beuvry, emeritus "saucers" launcher. It can only be an agent of the American F.B.I., responsible for diverting the attention of the populations who would worry about German rearmament (Si non e vero ... the communist press said about the saucers).
What amuses us even more is the enormous publicity he was given. And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the most sensational news of the year! Paper hot air balloons! Come to see! Come to see! Increeediible! The saucers? The cigars? It was paper! Hot air!
We said it yesterday: it is therefore difficult to keep balance... Because, for us, a problem on which it is so much discussed, and whose demonstrations go far beyond the boundaries of our region, is not not settled by the jokes of a retiree.
