Introduction.
Any editor will tell you that there are any more important items in the news than the announcement in this paper yesterday of an new electric iron with a water tank in which you simply add "8 drops of a special perfume - and ... (show all)your linen and lingerie is given the scent of pine or lavender to order." Nevertheless, we are not going to let an opportunity slip by of pointing out the possible dangers of an otherwise splendid aid to hygiene.
Daily Express, Oct. 16th, 1952
[The cartoon shows the Giles family children squeezing an onion into an iron's water tank]. - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)"Telling me that they will have bigger bangs than this in Australia next week is of little consolation, O wise one."
Sunday Express, Sept. 27th, 1953
[The cartoon shows an aircraft's sonic booms spooking camels in a desert, perhaps related to the US-UK overthrow of the Iranian democracy, August 1953. Australia is a reference to the British atmospheric nuclear tests in October 1953]. - Original language
