Context

45th Division News Vol. V No. 25 "What is your superstition? When I am able to sleep barefoot, I always take my left shoe off first. When I change clothes, I am careful to transfer my personal belongings from pockets of my old clothes to corresponding pockets of my new clothes. I smoke my cigarettes with the brand name toward my mouth, and I make three crosses with the cigarette on my pack before I light it. I drink water in even number gulps. And, oh yes, I leave my glasses on when I sleep!"
