AND CURED A HEAD COLD...

0 Hi, 02br
00I don't understand what refers to John Steinbeck on his "Travels with Charley" when is talking about keeping Charly from hunters:02br
00 'The radios warned against carrying a white handkerchief. Too many hunters seeing a flash of white have taken it for the tail of a running deer and CURED A HEAD COLD with a single shot'02br
00 Thanks in advance, Jo. 0-
