, 'I Essay SPECIAL FOR CHEWERS Chewing gum, in my opinion, is one of the most abused habits among the younger generation. I can tolerate chewing gum as an aid to the digestion of one's food after a heavy meal or as a safe-guard against jaw inactivity following a tonsill- otomy, but I detest it as a pastime. The majority of the younger generation chew gum simply for their personal enjoyment. To me,no other habitis so dis- gusting as that of incessant chewing. I especially despise one who chews loud and long throughout the day and perhaps, even late into the night. When chewing becomes monotonous to this type,he resorts to that ever famous clicking act. In a famous theater or on a bus have you not been a neighbor to one who clicks gum '? Oh! Is there anything more irritating? The disposal of gum! That is one of the major issues associated with this annoying habit. Throw it into the streets or on the pavements? Oh, please don't! How provoking to finda sticky wad of gum cleaving to the bottom of one 's shoes! Gum is wrapped up very conveniently for the purpose of the wrapper being used as a disposal receptacle. What is my advice about the chewing of gum? Once in a while it is al- right, but please do not indulge life-long into this habit. C HE WING GUM I think that I shall never see A person quite so unsightly As one who chews on gum all day While occupied in work or play . . Who chews so hard and often now She never stops to think of ow She looks to people pass' g by-- They're laughing at, her on the sly. I frown and, self-righteous, I conclude That gum addicts are really crude. I'm right, I know, for I was one-- Now, thank God, I never chew gum. 1 Q12 r' ,Wi , 1. Hyip: al Inq?
