I Evc-ry good citizen will refrain from! words and acts which lead to dissen- i sion and create ill-will. He will try j to be self-reliant, patient about short- > comings due to the war. As we go about our daily affairs we j all have a wartime duty—to be efficient j and to behave as good citizens. Those of us who enjoy a friendly gathering: at a hotel should exercise moderation. | In entertaining our friends —and especially men in uniform—we should re- ; member the regulations relating to the j use and sale of alcoholic beverages.
