"Watch That Cigarette"

"Hundred of pounds of food that otherwise could be utilized for feeding hungry Austrian transients, is being spoiled by GIs who unknowingly make the left over food on their plates unusable by scattering cigarette ashes over it and otherwise using their plates as ash trays. Mrs. Drubeck of the Red Cross Civilian War Relief agency asks that mess personnel co-operate by seeing that ash trays are provided on all mess hall tables, and that GIs refrain from denying some needy Austrians of food by making it unedible by careless smoking habits."
