The ABC of Smoking:
ALWAYS BE CONSIDERATE Chew gum as you ride Pacific Electric. Eat
candy ... or even peanuts in the shell if you must. But please don't smoke . We have nothing against smoking in its place.
But smoking in buses and rail cars is in bad taste -and against the law in many cities, including Los Angeles.
That's because it's a fire hazard as well as an annoyance to many patrons. Especially on crowded vehicles, ventilating systems fight a losing ha\i;tle when they're up against tobacco smoke . . . and few passengers wear Buck Rogers space helmets.
Even our superintendent of passenger service, whose name is Mr. Puffer and who enjoys a good cigar, waits until he's_ offthe bus before lighting up.
For the sake of comfort and safety, Mr. Smoker, won't you do the same? --------
YOUR 'PERYSCOPE HONORED The nation's best
transit patrons (Pacific .........,_...c;::-1
Electric's) deserve the best "take one" folder to read while they ride. So, with head slightly above the clouds, we are pleased to report that your Peryscope won the 1953 national contest for such publications.
