THE Friday, March 11, 1960 BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 3 For Annual Drive Estimated 500 Sign To Give Blood An estimated 500 students reg istered yesterday for donation to the annual 1960 Blood Drive on the A&M! campus, according to Marvin Schneider, chairman of the drive. The registration was held in the Memorial Student Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. under the sponsor ship of the Student Senate. Actual Donation Actual donation of the blood is slated for March 17 in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Members of the Senate will send postcards to the students that registered, denoting the time blood is to be donated during the off hours of the stu dents. Donations will be scheduled as early in the off hours of the students as possible to allow suffi cient time to attend classes and other activities. The blood collected this year will go to the Wadley Foundation in support of the Texas Children’s Research Foundation. Donated blood will be used in research against lukemia and hemophilia. Short of Goal The total of 500 students fell short of the goal of 600 set by the Student Senate prior to regis tering. A goal of 400 pints has been set for the year. A total of 396 pints were collected in last year’s drive. Dr. David R. Fitch, professor in the Division of Business Adminis tration is the College Station Lions’ Club coordinator. Last year the laons sponsored the Blood- mobile’s trip from Dallas to A&M. Lives Saved According to Schneider, several lives have been saved in past years with blood donated by the Aggies. In 1958, 14 lives were saved. How ever, in 1959, most of the persons benefitting from blood given by Aggies had hemophilia. The 400 jilus pints set as a goal will be worth from $10,000 to $12,000. Registration was conducted by members of the Student Senate. ^Jhe Olympia TYPEWRITERS Guaranteed As Long As You Are At A&M OTIS MCDONALD’S BRYAN BUSINESS MACHINES College Station Postal Service Sets Changes Over 60 residents of College Sta tion met recently at Lincoln school to receive information about ex tension of postal service in the Putz Addition and on County Road. Homer Adams, acting post master, explained regulations at the meeting, which was arranged by the Citizens Fellowship. The meeting was the climax to several months of active effort by the Citizens Fellowship to gain ex tension of postal service in Col lege Station. After a prelimi nary study by a fact finding com mittee, a request was made for a full investigation by Jmstal au _ thorities in Washington, D. C. and the Regional Operations Director in Dallas. Full cooperation was obtained from the local postal authorities and all personnel concerned, ac cording to Fred Kasten and Sam Pierce, members of the fact find ing committee. An inspector was sent to College Station to study the situation. His recommendations formed the basis for the decision to extend home mail service in the area. Fifty-five new fapailies may now receive mail delivery in front of their homes. About 50 other families may also receive service by putting qp out-of-bounds boxes on certain streets close to their homes. Families living in the areas affected by the inspector’s recommendations will begin re ceiving mounted service April list if they put up boxes as described at the meeting. According to Homer B. Adams, College Station postmaster, other streets may also obtain mounted delivery service as soon as the City adds gravel to these streets. Adams indicated that mail recept acle boxes may also be placed in central locations of the Putz Ad dition and County Road. Persons desiring more information about their responsibilities in order to receive the new mail service were asked by Adams to call the local post office.

Senate, to donate blood during the 1960 Proposed Home Sight, Name Discussed by Committee By AL VELA Battalion Staff Writer The selection of the site and name of the proposed home for the aged, under the auspices of the Methodist Church of the Texas Conference, was discussed by the Geriatrics Center Project Com mittee in the meeting room of the Bryan Chamber of Commerce last night. This home is to be the initial one for the Texas Conference of the Methodist Church —an area which comprises a triangle with Texarkana, Galveston and Orange as points. As yet, no Methodist old-age homes exist in this area. Names Suggested Several names for the old-age home were suggested by the group, but it was decided the final name would be selected by a special committee from names submitted by the public. All persons caring to submit a name should mail their entry to the Bryan Chamber of Commerce in Bryan. Tonight there will be an opportunity for persons watching television to phone in their suggestions, as a commercial will be used in part so these sug gestions could be taken in and screened., Persons .writing in their suggestions must' comply with a Saturday -midnight deadline. Two Sites Picked Col. D. R. Alfonte, chairman for the selection of thg site, announced two sites have been picked as of present, but the final selection will be made next Thursday night. These sites are, 29 and Villa Marie Rd., on the northeast corner, and 29 and Briarcrest Rd. Lewis Newman, member of the steering committee, introduced an idea pertaining to the cover of the brochure that would include the picture of nine prominent citizens of this area instead of the usual picture of a fictitious building. ‘Would Emphasize . . “Not only would this be differ ent,” said Newman, “but at the same time it would emphasize the point that this is a community See The Dinah Shore Chevy Show in color Sunday o, NBC-TV—The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom weekly^ ABC-TV SIX-PASSENGER CAR OR STATION SEDAN ...CORVAIR IS BOTH!

Bayer, district superintendentof the Bryan Dis trict of Methodist Churches, ex plained 1 a calendar project which showed the different dates and times committees would meet.
