PILLOW CHECK a
Smoldering cigarette stubs
have a habit of rolling behind
sofa and chair pillows and
cushions, hiding until every-
one is asleep. Then they
erupt into fast-moving
flames that put life in dan-
ger. To break that bad habit;
check upholstered furniture
for still burning cigarette
'stubs before retiring, says
the Ontario Safety League,
especially if you have had
guests.
