Battalion Editorials Page 2 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1954 Blood Permission Forms May Save An Aggie s Life Work is ready to start again for the next blood donation drive set for March 2. Forms will soon be sent to corps units and non-military dormitories for students between the ages of 18 and 21 who wish to give blood. These forms must be signed by a student’s parents before he can donate. A student who is 21 or older does not need his Parents’ permission. It is vitally important that as many stu dents as possible give blood during the March drive. Each pint donated may mean the dif ference between life or death to an injured Aggie. The importance of blood donations has been violently demonstrated to students here this school year. Right now blood is being used in an attempt to save Gene Brady, an 18-year-old freshman who was critically burned in an auto accident. Another student, Charles Arnold, who was injured in a car crash near Waco, might not be alive today if it wasn’t for donated blood. Blood given here is sent to a blood bank in Waco. Any student injured in districts near Waco which do not have blood supplying facilities would probably receive blood from this station. This service is provided free of charge. The blood which helped save the life of Arnold came from the Waco bank. The Waco blood center also helps A&M students injured outside of Texas. These stu dents would probably receive blood from the nearest city in that state. But this blood must be replaced. It would come from Waco. This would in turn leave the Waco bank short of valuable blood. The only way the shortage can be corrected is through more donations. Consequently the need for blood do nations is continuous. Students here can do their part by obtaining one of the permis sion blanks and mailing it home for their parents to sign. This form will permit a student to give blood. It might also permit another to live.

Main Bryan Pho. 2-1584 4 Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. says T70R more than thirty years we have used research day in and day out learning about tobaccos and cigarettes in the public’s interest. Continuously we and our consultants have analyzed, experimented with and smoked all kinds of tobaccos... especially Southern Bright, Burley, Maryland and Turkish cigarette to baccos. Our own cigarettes and competitive brands have been submitted to the most exacting scientific scrutiny including thousands of anal yses of millions of pounds of tobaccos. From all these thousands of analyses, and other findings reported in the leading technical journals, our Research Department has found no reason to believe that the isolation and elimination of any element native to cigclrette tobaccos today would improve smoking. • m For four years we have maintained in the smoker’s interest an intensified larger scale diversified research program. A half-million dollar 30-ton machine, the world’s most powerful source of high voltage electrons, designed solely for our use has tested tens of thousands of cigarettes. This program has already given to us direct and significant in formation of benefit to the smoking public. Our consultants include Arthur D. Little, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, “one of the largest and most reputable industrial research organizations in the country” (From Business Week Magazine) and eminent scientists from leading universities. Today the public can confidently choose From a variety of brands —by far the best cigarettes ever made by the tobacco industry.
