The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

JUNE 19, 2014, ENNIS THE MENACE: 1942.

September 1942.  "Civilian defense.  Fire protection.  The careless smoker causes more fires each year than any other person in the country.  he is to blame for 87,000 separate 1941 fires, which resulted in the loss of many lives and destruction of 14 million dollars of property.

"Whether he falls asleep with a lighted smoke or is careless in the deposit of burning cigars, cigarettes , or matches, he is always a menace."  OWI.

Photo of a man asleep on a couch holding a lit cigarette on a newspaper.  He is about to drop it.
