Come on, Ashand, let’s get some of the glory’ at the Tacoma festival! ★ ★ ★ Cigarettes and Good Citizenship A wise man said, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.” 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 in some leaves or rubbish by the road­ side and 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 your stub in an ashtray, do you make sure it is actuallv out before you leave it? Women are said to 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 house fires begin. When you drop your stub in any public place, do you step on it, hard? You should. It might set fire to the clothing of some passer-by. The best plan is never to drop your stub on any floor at any time, but use the receptacles provided for smokers. Good citizenship is simply intelligent consideration for your fellow men. According to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, now celebrating its 75th anniver­ sary, one test of a good citizen is whether he puts cigarette stubs only in a safe receptacle, and, even then, makes sure they are completely extinguished. * ¥ * The age-old saying that we get nothing that we do not work for still holds true whether it be for beans or July 4th celebrations. This year will mark the 16th annual 4th of July celebration for Ashland —If we are willing to put forth the effort and work to support it. Otherwise this yearly festival will soon find a welcome home elsewhere. So be at the public meeting scheduled for Tuesday night and let’s plan for a real Fourth.

April 29. Mr. Hensler, health teacher of room six gave a demon­ stration on the eye. Mr. Hensier got the eyes at Stevens Market m Ashland. The teacher cut the eye open and showed the children the inside of it and what the eye con­ tained. It was a very good demon­ stration and the children enjoyed it very much. In science, the sixth grade is studying the plant kingdom. They have learned how plants grow and what the different parts do for plants. The pupils are making t< oklets for their drawings and outlines They have studied what seeds are made of and how they make new plants. A.ta Mae Johnstone brought six po’nwogs to school. The children are watching them grow in the aquarium. Patricia Sollee brought some toads' eggs to school. She knows they are toads' eggs because they are in long strings instead of a mass like the frogs’. The children are watching them hatch. The sixth grade made music week posters for room five and other rooms. The posters are very attractive. Mona Roe Taylor, a pupil of the fourth grade, went to the Pacific ocean Thursday. May 1 and stayed until May 4. She brought some shells from the ocean to show her classmates. They were very pretty. For your FAMILY —the Chautauqua pitched tent each summer?
