Nobody cares! Anyway, one little
cigarette box, or the wrapper off the
chewing gum, or the envelope from a
letter—surely, one would not call
dropping them on. the sidewalk, lit-
tering the street. But, if each citi-
zen, young and old, drops a paper
on the public street, the cumulative
effect will 'not be pleasant to behold.
And many people have a habit of do-
ing ;this, and even worse, for news-

.blowing about the streets. How much
cleaner the streets would be if we all
took just a little thought in regard
to waste paper and other rubbish.
