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.

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.

What Happened to Churchill's Cigar?
From the June 15, 2010, Fox News.com.
"You can fight on the beaches, you can fight in the fields and in the streets, but if you're Winston Churchill, the one thing you can't do in Britain these days is chomp on a cigar."
There is a photo of Churchill over the entrance to a London World War II museum that has had the famous cigar airbrushed out. The Daily Mail has a before and after photo of it.
David McAdam told the Daily Mail, "Viewing the now disfigured image reveals just how unhinged the vociferous anti-smoking lobby has become. So much for the notion that only communist tyrants airbrushed history."
Churchill's suits had to be constantly repaired from holes he singed in them from smoking. His favorite cigars were Cuban maduros.
