RAISING to selectecs who fail
to make the grade physically.
The present system works like
this. A selectee's name is print

for induction on such-and-such

His friends rally with par
ties and often - against ad-
vice given him by selective
service officials - he quits
his job. After al the local

he IL fit for army service.

him and his fellow selectees a.

ond. to smoke It.
Some tobacconists have grown
50 fed up with saying over and
over, "Sorry cir, ] can't get
them," that they're closing up
shop ut least one day each week.
Anyone who captures q good
smoke these days must be en-
lowed with persistence and cum
ming.
The country has been draw.
ing on reserve stocks for sew
eral months and some tobacco
warehouses have gone up sud-
denly in bomb smoke.
Many provincial towns have
been without cigarettes of any
brand for weeks, but acute
shortage hit London only re-
Gently.
This situation brought out q
startling array of unfamiliar
brands - including Cypriot and
Chinese-some of which make
the smoker wonder dazedly
whether he's going to sneeze or
keel over.
It Is now almost display of
bad manners to accept a ciga-
rette from q friend.
In the old days, bridge players
would toss . package each on
the table for general consump-
ton. Such an action nowadays
might cause casualties and prop
