Fight to unite the nation. Then America will have what ancient China lacked. What modern France lacked. She will have total defense.” CIGARETTES AND GOOD CITIZENSHIP A wise man:said, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell youywhat you are.'7 He might also have said, ‘Tell-me what you do with your cigarette stubs and I will tell you what kind of a citizen you are.” When driving your car, do you throw your stub out of the window? If so, you aren't a good citizen. Your stub may land me leaves or rubbish by the roadside start a fire. The place for such stubs is the ash tray provided in your car. When you are smoking in the house and you leave yeur stub in an ashtray, do ou make sure it is actually out before you ave it Women are said te be among the worst offenders in this respect. Cigarette stubs smolder on the edge of an ashtray, and sometimes drop off. That is how many y house fires begin.
