Southern black, white blood battle waged
BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI)
Louisiana's only Negro legislator urged repeal of a 20--year-old state law requiring blood in hospitals to be labeled with the race of the donor.
Aamco charged with insincerity of advertisement
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has charged Aamco Automatic Transmissions Inc., which advertises as the "world's largest transmission service" with illegal practices.
The FTC said in a complaint Aamco's 200 shops advertise simple transmission adjustments for $4.50. "safe guard service" for $13.75 and removal and inspection for $23.
"Although such services may be performed from time to time," the FTC said, "these advertised offers are insincere in that their real purpose is to get leads to prospects in order to sell them much more expensive repair jobs."
The FTC said Aamco has refused to reassemble transmissions when customers did not authorize further work and failed to disclose when repairs were made with used parts among other deceptive practices.

A white legislator attacked the Department of Health Education and Welfare (HEW) and said the move would allow the federal government to control people's bodies.
"HEW has taken over our schools and now they want to take over our bloodstreams," said Rep. Archie Davis of Bush La. "They've just gone too darn far when they start messing with somebody's blood."

law passed in 1950 requiring race labels in state blood banks.
"This legislation was passed in the heat of passion. It has no scientific basis," he said. "We all know the climate of the state at that time."
But Rep. Ford Stinson, speaking in favor of race labels on blood, said Negro blood is different from the blood of whites.
"Sickle cell anemia is in the

Generation gap exits in Grandma's heirloom
NEW YORK (UPI) — The younger generation would cheerfully trade in Grandma's heirlooms for Puccini-printed ice buckets plastic cube tables and psycheled-colored clocks.
That's the word from H. Jay Shaffer director of behavioral studies for a trading stamp company.
Shaffer even knocks what to another generation is one of his firm's selling points—its age. The firm, Sperry and Hutchinson (green stamps) is 75 years old, but the behavioral scientist says such solidity doesn't impress the young.
"It isn't enough for a coffee pot to make good coffee," he said. "It must be fun to live with, too."
"The 'now' feeling among young people reflects a change in values," he said. "They no longer want heirloom possessions. They want products that will do the job, and also fit into their current life style.
"The emphasis of today's youth is on experience. They do not set a high value on the security of ownership, as did the depression-conditioned older generation."
He advises business to respond through form, color and presentation.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOT YOUR MONEY'S WORTH?
Could it have been when you pulled a very unsportsmanlike move by driving your car through a mud puddle, spraying most of its content all over a campus policeman who had just finished writing you a ticket for illegal parking? Or was it when you spent $.06 for a stamp to sign up your favorite friend to the Columbia Record Club, and then heisted the 12 free records he was entitled to for joining! It certainly was grins watching him and Columbia battle back and forth over his "membership" and "money owed." Or was it the last time you spent Tuesday night at the Stables? That's the night when $2.00 buys all the beer you can sip, chug or just plain guzzle through your parched lips, down your dehydrated throat to satisfy your unquenchable thirst. It's the best bargain anywhere, especially from a female standpoint since she can enjoy the same Stable hospitality and values for only $1.00.
It may have taken 300 years, but now, genuine fish & chips are here. Genuine, that is, if they're Alfie's. Only Alfie (that sly rascal) takes the very freshest whitefish and fries it to a just right golden crisp. And serves it up with the crunchiest, lightest chips in the colonies. Plus the tangiest, most tempting secret sauce you've ever tasted. So special, grown men weep for more! Try a bit of tradition for lunch or dinner, today. Verily, there's a grand bit of Great Britain in every bite!
